Company Supports Bell, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce
Platforms
The Timken Company continues to expand its capabilities to serve

aviation industry with 28 new FAA-certified replacement parts for a
variety of helicopter drivetrain and engine platforms. Timken now
offers more than 1,600 FAA-certified replacement parts overall.

"Timken invests to provide a comprehensive selection of
high-quality replacement parts to keep aircraft flying safely,"
said Larry Shiembob, general manager of Timken's Aerospace
Aftermarket Solutions team. "The value-added distinction for our
customers is the breadth of knowledge and advanced technical
capabilities we bring from both the original-equipment and
aftermarket segments of Timken's aerospace business."
Timken obtained most of the FAA approvals for these replacement
parts through test and computation - the most rigorous of FAA
certification processes. These new replacement parts include a
collective sleeve, swashplate support assembly and main rotor blade
bolt. These parts are on the Bell H-1 (Huey), Pratt & Whitney
Canada PT6, Pratt & Whitney PW2000 and Rolls-Royce Model 250
platforms.

parts and assemblies, including helicopter transmissions, rotor
head assemblies, turbine engine components, bearings and gears, for
new production and for the aftermarket.
