Decades later, Timken is a leader in the friction management and power transmission industries and continues to lead in advancing bear- ing technology through continuous innovation and development.

In addition to railroad applications, AP bearings are successfully used in many types of industrial applications.

When Timken introduced its revolutionary APTM (All-Purpose) railroad bearings in 1954, it was a railroad industry milestone. Decades later, Timken is a leader in the friction management and power transmission industries and continues to lead in advancing bearing technology through continuous innovation and development. In addition to railroad applications, AP bearings are successfully used in many types of industrial applications. This can be attributed to many factors including the bearing’s high load carrying capacity and its adaptability to a wide variety of applications.

Self-contained unit provides substantial cost savings in design and installation. Many mounting parts are available with the bearing assembly. • Pregreased unit reduces installation costs. • Preassembled bearing reduces the number of separate parts to be applied and helps reduce the chance of incorrect assembly
