Business Wire
The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR) has been steadily expanding its
aerospace business over the past decade, servicing more than 30,000
main engines, gearboxes, and APUs, on 70 different platforms every
year. Key recent expansions for the general aviation market include
the capability to overhaul the PT6A engine, as well as the addition
of numerous PT6 engine replacement parts. At a time when cash for
new aircraft is tight, Timken’s proven capabilities in technology
development, engineering, manufacturing, repair and fleet support
provide a one-stop solution for operators who need to extend the
flight-hours of their existing and legacy aircraft, from fixed-wing
fliers to helicopters.
While this year marks Timken’s first attending the NBAA show
Oct. 20-22 (Booth 2985), the company is highlighting an unrivaled
offering of products and services to enhance friction management
and power transmission performance for a wide range of aircraft
systems.
Visit the online media kit to learn more about Timken’s
industry-leading capabilities:
- Engine and component overhaul
services: PT6A, PT6T, T53 engines, turbine nozzle casting
replacement, fuel controls, governors and bearings;
- Complete power transmission
solutions related to bearings, APUs and gearboxes; and
- Replacement parts and
repairs for drive train systems, airfoils, and gears.
While new to the NBAA show floor, Timken is a name known to
aviators throughout the century of flight. The company’s bearings
are on most landing gear of commercial jets, and its motion-control
technologies have been mission-critical to defense and space
exploration, from the moon to Mars.
Timken bolstered its aerospace portfolio with additional power
transmission and aftermarket-focused acquisitions in recent years,
with Purdy in 2007 and Extex in 2008. Now part of the Timken brand
family, these additions extended the company’s full-line complement
beyond bearings and brought enhanced capabilities, with
manufacturer-approved replacement parts and services for a wide
variety of aircraft.
In 2008, Timken opened a new aerospace manufacturing facility in
Chengdu, China, adding capabilities to serve that country’s
burgeoning appetite for aviation. As a trusted aerospace leader
fully certified for new platforms such as China’s new C919, the new
facility has Timken well positioned to partner with other aerospace
companies looking to increase their “made in China” percentages on
such bids.
In addition to the new facility in Chengdu, China, Timken also
serves its aerospace customers from facilities located throughout
the United States, including Mesa, AZ; Tucson, AZ; Los Alamitos,
CA; Manchester, CT; Keene, NH; Lebanon, NH; and New Philadelphia,
OH.
