Reduced cost of ownership We’re proud to be the first to market for the branded range of Timken split roller bearings. Designed for heavy-duty applications in the aggregate, power generation and metal processing industries, the new split cylindrical roller bearing housed units offer customers increased uptime, reduced maintenance costs and increased efficiency.

Customer centric design Designed with the customer in mind, the bearings are completely split to the shaft, allowing them to be removed and replaced without requiring access to the shaft ends. This enables quick and easy installation, fast change-out and reduced downtime – especially in situations which may previously have been difficult for traditional solid bearings.

Timken split roller bearings offer reduced downtime and faster fit

We’re happy to advise on the best bearing to meet the needs of your application.

When a bearing fails, it’s common for engineers to replace it with the same bearing that was

specified when a piece of machinery was first commissioned. This means that manufacturers

miss out on the benefits offered by the latest bearing innovations – not least the fact that

newer bearings such as Timken Split Roller Bearings (SRB) are designed to offer faster fit

times and less downtime.

meet the bearings team

With more than 120 years of practical technical experience between them, the Bearings Team are on standby to provide hands-on support and advice for your business.

The power of relationships Our close relationships with our suppliers enable us to offer customers great prices and lead-times, while our nationwide sales and service centres guarantee quick and easy access to stock.

The risk of going unauthorised When a bearing fails, downtime is inevitable. While it can be tempting to turn to unproven suppliers for a fast, cheap replacement, the risk of introducing sub-standard or counterfeit parts into your operation could cause untold damage and incur extra costs in the long run. Eliminate the risk by buying genuine, branded goods that come with full warranties and the latest specifications.

Not sure which bearing is right for you? We pride ourselves on our product knowledge and technical support which is available to all customers, at all times. We also have a highly trained team who provide on-site repair and installation services and technical help to minimise disturbances and downtime.

When failure is not an option Your business can access innovative maintenance tools and condition monitoring solutions to increase productivity and reduce the likelihood of downtime. At Brammer Buck & Hickman, our strong supplier relationships mean that we’re amongst the first to bring new innovations to our customers.

When customers purchase a product from us, they get far more than a bearing,” says Dean Askew, Head of Category. “With direct access to our specialist team of engineers, customers receive the very best support, from initial specification and installation through to maintenance and repair.
