Whois & Analysis for timken.com

The Timken Company is a global manufacturer of bearings, and related components and assemblies.

Timken operates in 28 countries.

A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts.

The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts.

Most bearings facilitate the desired motion by minimizing friction.

Bearings are classified broadly according to the type of operation, the motions allowed, or to the directions of the loads (forces) applied to the parts.

The ampere (SI unit symbol: A, dimension symbol: I), often shortened to "amp", is a unit of electric current.

In the International System of Units (SI) the ampere is one of the seven SI base units.

It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics.

In physics, a force is said to do work if, when acting, there is a displacement of the point of application in the direction of the force.

For example, when a ball is held above the ground and then dropped, the work done on the ball as it falls is equal to the weight of the ball (a force) multiplied by the distance to the ground (a displacement).

A system is a set of interacting or interdependent component parts forming a complex or intricate whole.

Every system is delineated by its spatial and temporal boundaries, surrounded and influenced by its environment, described by its structure and purpose and expressed in its functioning.
