The Timken Company has introduced a comprehensive offering of online engineering tools – available at engineering.timken.com – for use by design engineers and others who specify bearings for new or existing applications. “Timken expresses its 125 years of knowledge and experience through this full suite of online engineering tools. The tools help users learn more about bearings, access information quickly and connect to our team,” said Mike Kotzalas, director – global customer engineering. “At Timken, we equip design engineers with the information they need to make informed design and purchasing decisions.”  The site features 11 independent engineering prediction and calculation tools: ●Timken Syber Bearing System Designer ●Bearing Search ●Seal Search ●Bearing Tolerances ●Bearing Periodic Frequencies ●Bearing Fatigue Life ●Bearing Fitting Practice ●Bearing Clearance Calculations ●Bearing Installation Calculations ●Grease Lubrication Calculator ●Precision Bearing Selector Data from the tools can be exported into common design programs, output into CAD drawings, or saved for future reference.  Among the many powerful tools available is the Timken Syber Bearing System Designer tool. This tool is a proprietary software program requiring users to register for access. This powerful tool equips users to search for, compare, analyze and model bearings within an application before final specification. It delivers fast, accurate bearing selection and system analysis in one easy-to-use tool, providing trusted results validated by Timken engineers and expert support when needed. This efficient solution empowers users to quickly simulate real-world conditions and optimize their designs, all in one place. Another feature of Timken’s online engineering tools is guided help. For those who do not know which tool is best suited for their design work, this tool walks users through a decision tree to lead them to the most appropriate resource.
