Timken has announced the availability of an online tool that enables original equipment manufacturers, distributors, students and end users to locate a Timken housed unit that correctly interchanges with a competitor's part.
The Timken Fafnir Housed-Unit Interchange uses a three-step process for looking up interchange information using a competitor's part number. If the part number is unknown, customers can opt for the advanced interchange process that uses pictures of housings, bearings and seals to help identify which unit they have. The interchange tool then will provide the Timken part that most closely matches the unit based on critical dimensions and product style. The housed-unit interchange highlights dimensional differences between part numbers and notes whether it's critical to the application. Advanced housed-unit drawings are also used to help customers visualize the product and its characteristics when an interchange is suggested.
