HOUSED UNIT OVERVIEW<br />
TIMKEN ® BALL HOUSED UNITS OFFER EASY<br />
INSTALLATION, FLEXIBLE OPTIONS<br />
<strong>Timken</strong> ® ball housed units, available in a variety of sizes and types, feature wide-inner-ring ball<br />
bearings that provide additional shaft support and locking options. The <strong>Timken</strong> ® wide-inner-ring<br />
ball bearing is designed for straight shafts and can be positioned without shoulders, locknuts<br />
or adapters.<br />
For easy installation, our ball housed units can be ordered pre-assembled with bearings, housings,<br />
seals and locking systems. Choose from pillow blocks, flanged cartridges, take-up units and<br />
cylindrical cartridges. Our cast-iron, pressed-steel and other optional materials give you durable<br />
choices for the exterior covers. <strong>Timken</strong> ® locking options include set screws, self-locking collars<br />
and concentric collars.<br />
<strong>Timken</strong> ® Shaft Guarding Technology deters set-screw damage to shafts by placing a hardened<br />
band in the groove along the inner ring of the bearing. The set screws press against the band to<br />
transfer gripping pressure onto the shaft, preventing nicks, as well as raised-metal or permanent<br />
shaft damage. The stainless-steel band resists corrosion on the shaft. This system is particularly<br />
helpful for applications where it would be expensive and time-consuming to replace shafts.<br />
TYPICAL INDUSTRIES AND APPLICATIONS<br />
Use <strong>Timken</strong> ball bearing housed units in agricultural applications, fans, blowers, food<br />
processing devices and conveyors.<br />
