Overview
Timken is the taper roller bearing. The company built its name on them, and in heavy equipment, axles, gearboxes and wheel ends a taper roller is often specified as a Timken number whichever brand ends up supplying it.
Petrofab holds Timken taper rollers in Doha in both imperial and metric series, and quotes the rest of the Timken catalogue through its supplier base.

Reading a Timken number
A taper roller bearing is two separable parts, and Timken numbers them separately. This is what a buyer needs to know before ordering one.
| Code | What it means |
| Cone | The inner ring with its rollers and cage. Quoted as the first number, for example LM501349 |
| Cup | The outer ring. Quoted as the second number, for example LM501310. A cone and a cup are ordered as a pair, and a number written as LM501349/501310 means both |
| LM | Imperial series |
| JW, JLM | Metric series |
| D | A double cup, so one outer ring serving two rows |
| X, S | Dimension and design variants on the base number |
A bearing usually has an equivalent under another brand, and the letters are where the two differ. Send whichever number is in front of you and we will identify what fits.
Ordering
Send us the Timken number with the quantity. If the marking has worn off, send the bore, the outside diameter and the width, and tell us what it runs in and how hard it works. We will identify the equivalent and quote it. Quantities and delivery are confirmed on the quotation.
