What is Timken OK Load? And, why is it important in reducing equipment failure downtime in your business operations?

Timken load rating can refer to the load-carrying capacity of a lubricant, tested by the Timken OK Load Test (ASTM D2509), or the rated load capacity of a Timken bearing itself, which is increasing due to continuous technological enhancements. The OK Load test determines the maximum weight a lubricant can withstand before a rotating bearing ring scores a steel block, while bearing load ratings indicate how much weight a specific Timken bearing can handle.

Timken OK Load (Lubricant Testing)

What it measures: It's a standardized test for lubricants, indicating their extreme pressure (EP) performance by measuring the maximum load a lubricant can prevent from scuffing or seizing a steel block.

How it works: A steel block is pressed against a rotating bearing ring under increasing loads, with the lubricant flooding the contact area. The test stops when a score mark appears on the block, and the last load before scoring is the OK Load.

Units: The OK Load is measured in pounds-force (lbs) or kilograms-force (kgf).

Purpose: This test is used to assess the effectiveness of extreme pressure additives in lubricants.
Timken Load Ratings (Bearing Ratings)

What they represent: These ratings specify the maximum load a Timken tapered roller bearing can carry in an application without excessive wear or failure.

Factors: The ratings are based on extensive lifecycle testing and advanced engineering in Timken's bearing products.

Value: Timken increases these ratings to reflect enhanced performance and longer predicted life, providing greater value for users in various industries like agriculture, mining, and energy.

Selection: These load ratings are critical for selecting the correct bearing for a specific application to ensure optimal performance and lifespan as well as the correct grease or lubricant for maximum performance and equipment uptime.
