Innovative solution improves customer's performance CANTON, Ohio,
Oct. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The Timken Company (NYSE:TKR) today
announced a new customer in China, Jixi Coal Mine Machinery Company
(Jixi CMMC), one of the country's largest manufacturers of
underground mining machinery. Timken supplies its tapered roller
bearings for a wide range of cutting heads on shearers used by Jixi
CMMC. This new business relationship was the result of Timken's
ability to provide not only a new bearing product, but training and
design recommendations that improved the overall performance of
Jixi's equipment. Jixi CMMC turned to Timken because of problems
with electric haulage shearers. Haulage shearers are used to cut
into the earth and extract coal in underground mining operations.
Bearings are used in the cutting-head section of the shearers to
rotate the blades. Timken's analysis showed that the
original-equipment spherical bearings, which were not manufactured
by Timken, were unable to withstand the loads of the application.
The result was frequent bearing or seal failure and, consequently,
end-user complaints. To provide a solution, Timken utilized its
global technology resources and determined that power-dense,
debris-resistant tapered roller bearings would be a better fit for
the shearers and eliminate costly downtime for the customer. Timken
then worked with Jixi CMMC to improve the shearers' design for
maximum performance with tapered bearings and provided training on
the use and maintenance of the bearings. "Our goal is always to
improve a customer's total performance by applying what we know
about friction management," said Jason Zhu, general industry sales
manager, Timken. "From products to engineering to training, we were
able to do that with Jixi CMMC and ultimately, that improved their
customers' performance as well." Since its entry into China in
1992, The Timken Company has brought to China its state-of-the-art
