The Timken booth at this exhibition is located at EC12, Dongzhan District. The innovative solutions for this exhibition include:

System Maintenance, Repair, and Upgrade Solutions The new Timken® UltraWind® P1 seal: The innovative design offers better wear resistance and longer life than traditional seals. At the same time, the unique flexible sealing lip design structure can effectively deal with bearing deformation and improve the sealing effect.

Timken® anti-friction bearings: Timken's innovative wear-resistant material technology allows this type of bearing to have a life expectancy that is up to 3 times longer than conventional products and can effectively resist galling, scratches, micro-flaking and micro-spots in spindles or gearboxes. Erosion and other damage conditions, with breakthrough performance.

Timken® Online Intelligent Monitoring System: An advanced condition monitoring and online fault analysis diagnostic system designed for low wind speed fan applications. Analyze vibrations, shock pulses, analog digital or data input and output, and help pre-diagnose and instruct maintenance plans before spindles, gearboxes, and generators affect service life.

Spindle and Gearbox Bearing Solutions Timken® UltraWind® Tapered Roller Bearings: Preset clearance bearing assemblies help increase bearing reliability and reduce overall costs.

New Timken® Cylindrical Roller Bearings: Compared to conventional caged cylindrical roller bearings of the same size in planetary gearboxes, the new design offers increased load-carrying capacity and increased service life. Compact cage construction leads to roller guidance performance higher than full roller design.

Timken® PlanetPac and integrated Flexpin bearings: Both high power density products increase the reliability and performance of the fan gearbox planet.
