A Timken Tapered Roller Bearing partly cut away to shonw the relations of the parts. Note the taper of cone, rollers and cup. Note also the tavo ribs om the cone—the “tracks” that keep the rollers in perfect alignment. The Timken Beaving meets side pressure or “end thrust” in addition to vertical load be- cause its rollers are tapered and revolve at an angle to the shaft. The tapered con- struction also makes the Tim- hen adjustable for continued full efficiency throughout the life of the car. . When Your Motor Car Takes the Curve With a flash and a roar the limited train sweeps by and takes the curve. Huge locomotive, heavy steel cars—the embodiment of terrific force! The train tends to keep on in a straight line—yet it does round the curve, Why? Little flanges on the wheels press sidewise against the outer rail and force a change of direction. So, when your motor car takes a curve the same force, the same pressure—differing only in degree—is at work. Rubber tires grip the road, but the heavy chassis struggles to keep on in a straight line. You feel the force sliding you along the seat. .xles try to push out through the hubs trates in the centers of the wheels. toward the outside of the curve. This ‘‘end-thrust’’ concen- Something must hold the axles back and yet allow the wheels to turn freely. This severe task falls to the wheel bearings. And the bearings must at the same time carry the weight of the car and its load. It is because of this double duty that it is so important to have good wheel bearings. A Bearing That Meets End-Throst In Addition to Vertical Load Tris one of the distinctive features of the tapered roller bearing that because its parts are conical instead of cylindric- al it sustains immense ure from the side at thesame time that it is sup- porting the load, from above. glance at the picture at the Jeft shows why this is so. All the pressure, both vertical and horizontal, is distributed over lines as long astherollers instead of being con- centrated at mere points. This wide distribution of pressure prevents un- due wear. And It Is Adjustable The same tapered construction of the Timken Bearing makes it possible—by moving the cone, rollers and cup into a little closer contact— v At bottom, you know, from facing it. will.

You haven't been honest with yourself. Rome wasn’t built in a day. to entirely offset the effects of the slight wear that will come after many thousands of miles of travel. That is, the Timken is adjustable. Thus the universal satisfaction with Timken Tapered Roller Bearings in the wheels of hundred of thousands of high-grade motor cars is due to basic principles ofdesign that are right. And for the same reason there is the same universal satisfaction with Timken Bearings at the other severe service points—in the transmission, in steering knuckle heads, on the pinion shaft, at each side of the differential, on the worm of a worm drive truck. Points where end-thrust piles on radial load, and adjustability enables the owner to keep his car tuned up to full efficiency as it grows old in service. The Timken Roller Bearing Co.
