Ordering Timken bearings: what we need

Give the complete part number stamped on the bearing, including any prefix and suffix. Inch-series tapered roller bearings have separate numbers for cone and cup, so quote both. If the marking is worn, measure bore, outside diameter and width and tell us the machine and shaft position. For housed units give the housing type, shaft size and locking method. State the quantity and any precision class or special clearance required.

FAQ

Questions about Timken

Common questions about Timken equipment, part numbers and supply to Oman and the GCC.

01What are the dimensions of a Timken 32206 bearing?
The 32206 follows the ISO metric tapered roller bearing series: bore 30 mm, outside diameter 62 mm and overall width 21.25 mm. It is a single-row bearing supplied as a cone (inner ring with rollers and cage) and a cup (outer ring). Confirm load ratings and tolerances on the Timken datasheet for the exact part number.
02How are Timken part numbers for inch-series bearings read?
Inch-series tapered bearings are not sold under one number. The cone and the cup each have their own part number, and one cone can run with several cups of different outside diameter or width. Both numbers are stamped on the ring faces. Send both, because the cone number on its own does not define the assembly.
03Can a tapered roller bearing of another make be replaced with a Timken bearing?
Metric bearings such as the 32206 are made to ISO boundary dimensions, so the same designation fits the same housing and shaft. Internal design, cage and load ratings can still differ between makers, and cups and cones of different makes should not be mixed in one bearing. Replace the complete bearing and check the rating if the duty is heavy.
04When was Timken founded and where is it based today?
Timken was founded in 1899 in St. Louis, Missouri, as the Timken Roller Bearing Axle Company. It is now headquartered in North Canton, Ohio, and its shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol TKR.
05Is Seven Star LLC a distributor of Timken?
No. Seven Star LLC is an independent industrial supplier based in Muscat, not a distributor or agent of Timken. We source Timken bearings through commercial channels, check the model or order code against the manufacturer's documentation, and provide the manufacturer's datasheet and the certificates the manufacturer issues with the order on request.
