Timken® ADAPT™ combines cylindrical and spherical roller bearing designs into one easy-to-assemble, high-capacity configuration. It’s ideal for applications with combined misalignment and axial displacement.ADAPT designed for continuous casters.
The Timken® ADAPT™ bearing combines the traditional cylindrical roller bearing and spherical roller bearing configurations. Its proprietary outer race and roller profiles plus a cylindrical inner ring combine the key attributes of both bearing types. This unique three-point contact design geometry provides simultaneous misalignment and axial displacement performance, optimizes contact stress distribution, and helps promote roller stability. The result is a more dynamic, more reliable bearing.
When axial loads combine with high speeds, heavy loads or other challenging conditions, Timken thrust bearings deliver optimum performance. We offer a comprehensive range of thrust bearings in standard as well as custom designs, meeting stringent specifications required for nearly any application.
