Company Supports Bell, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce
Platforms
The Timken Company continues to expand its capabilities to serve
the total lifecycle of overhaul and replacement parts for the
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.

company also specializes in the design and manufacture of complex
parts and assemblies, including helicopter transmissions, rotor
head assemblies, turbine engine components, bearings and gears, for
new production and for the aftermarket.
