What These Notes Cover

Three topics that decide whether a bearing order fits

Correct Timken sourcing depends on three details: a confirmed cone and cup pair, the right inch or metric series, and the complete assembly number for matched or multi-row arrangements.

Cone & Cup

  • Cone: the inner ring assembly
  • Cup: the matching outer ring
  • Separate numbers listed for each part

Inch & Metric

  • Read mixed sizes in repair records
  • Follow the series originally fitted
  • Source both series from one supplier

Assembly Inquiries

  • Use the complete assembly number
  • Keep matched sets together
  • Compare full-set and itemized pricing

Transmission Repairs Company supplies inch and metric Timken bearings to repair shops, distributors and equipment operators worldwide, from single replacements to complete repair sets.

"When we had a gearbox failure on a mining conveyor, we needed Timken spherical roller bearings urgently. They identified the correct Timken reference from our old bearing, shipped same-day, and the gearbox was back up in under a week. That kind of response saves money in downtime."
