Testing Shows Timken 454-Series Wheel Bearings Have a Four Times Longer Life Span

The Timken Company announces that recent in-house tests show Timken 454-Series wheel bearings for commercial vehicles perform more than four times longer than those frequently used on original equipment. 

"Engineered for strength and endurance, Timken tapered roller bearings help commercial vehicles work harder and longer," says Mark Stangl, Timken Manager of Automotive Aftermarket Products. "Timken engineers help increase uptime and load-carrying capacity with performance-enhancing bearing designs that distribute weight efficiently across bearing components."

Available for popular axle and hub designs, Timken 454-Series wheel bearings support the 2-inch outset loads created by wide single tire configurations and demanding dual-tire applications.  Timken offers its 454-Series wheel bearings in both manual and pre-adjusted configurations.
