TIMKEN Product Introduction

**TIMKEN Tapered Roller Bearings – TSL (DUO FACE® Plus Seal) Imperial Series: Engineered for Durability and Precision**

TIMKEN’s **TSL (DUO FACE® Plus Seal) Imperial Series** tapered roller bearings represent a high-performance solution designed to deliver exceptional reliability, extended service life, and superior sealing in demanding industrial and automotive applications. Combining TIMKEN’s legacy of precision engineering with advanced sealing technology, these bearings are built to withstand heavy radial and axial loads while minimizing friction and contamination ingress.

### **Technical Features & Design Advantages**
The **TSL series** incorporates TIMKEN’s proprietary **DUO FACE® Plus seals**, which provide enhanced protection against contaminants such as dirt, moisture, and debris—common challenges in harsh operating environments. The dual-lipped seal design ensures superior retention of lubricant while preventing premature wear, significantly extending bearing life compared to conventional sealed options.

Key features include:
– **Optimized Tapered Roller Geometry**: Precision-ground rollers and raceways distribute loads evenly, reducing stress concentrations and improving fatigue resistance.
– **High-Capacity Design**: Engineered to handle combined radial and thrust loads, making them ideal for applications with dynamic force variations.
– **Advanced Seal Material**: The DUO FACE® seals utilize high-performance elastomers resistant to heat, oil, and abrasion, ensuring long-term sealing integrity.
– **Pre-Greased for Life**: Factory-lubricated with high-quality grease, reducing maintenance requirements and downtime.
– **Interchangeable with Standard Tapered Bearings**: Designed to fit industry-standard housings, allowing for easy upgrades without system modifications.

### **Performance Benefits**
TIMKEN’s TSL bearings excel in applications where contamination resistance and lubrication retention are critical. The robust sealing system minimizes friction torque, reducing energy consumption while maintaining optimal performance. Their ability to operate under misalignment and high-load conditions makes them a preferred choice for heavy-duty machinery, automotive systems, and precision industrial equipment.

### **Typical Applications**
– **Industrial Machinery**: Conveyors, gearboxes, pumps, and mining equipment where dust, moisture, and heavy loads are prevalent.
– **Automotive Systems**: Wheel hubs, axles, and transmissions requiring long-lasting, low-maintenance bearings.
– **Precision Equipment**: Agricultural machinery, construction vehicles, and material handling systems demanding reliability in rugged conditions.

By integrating **DUO FACE® Plus sealing technology** with TIMKEN’s precision tapered roller design, the **TSL Imperial Series** ensures unmatched durability and performance—making it a trusted solution for engineers seeking to enhance equipment longevity and operational efficiency. Whether in extreme environments or high-speed applications, these bearings deliver consistent performance, reducing total cost of ownership through extended service intervals and reduced maintenance.

For industries that demand reliability under pressure, TIMKEN’s TSL tapered roller bearings set the standard for innovation and endurance.
