Why Choose Howcroft

Why Choose Howcroft for Timken

Timken tapered roller bearings are specified wherever there is a load to carry, and we have supplied them into vehicle, plant and industrial applications for years.

The brand is known for its cataloguing, which is exactly why we can identify an old Timken reference from a machine plate, a shaft dimension or a photograph and supply the right bearing rather than a near miss. We also advise on the setting and mounting that decides whether it lasts.

Deep cross-reference

Timken references identified from plates, dimension data, drawings or a failed example.

Tapered and specialist bearings

Roller, spherical and housed units supplied against the exact application.

Setting and mounting advice

End-float and preload guidance so the bearing is fitted the way it was designed to be.
