[QUOTE="Neverbdonegt, post: 12721703, member: 124686"] Timken employee here a lot of that may have to do with a patent a company has on a specific part. I know we have some parts on our cnc machines that we can't use our own bearings on because we can't legally make one. I do believe Timken is the best bearing on the market and not just because I work for them. All Timken bearing use Timken steel. Timken spends a lot of money to make sure they do not produce a bearing with inferior steel. Good man! Post pics of said Polly cages that are causing problems. We use to make the cages in our plant but they have been moved. When we made them they were steel. Those damn retainers are a bitch to make. Lol The prob with china, Japan, Mexico honestly isn't a skilled work force it's there quality standards aren't up to par with Timken's in raw materials or finished goods. And ALL the commercial airplanes. If its a commercial flight it MUST land on Timken bearings.. That should tell ya something. Now here's the sad part not all are made in the us. We have about 250 plants world wide. All of your bearings are made with Timken steel and probably some part of your bearing was made in the us but some of it could have been made in any number of foreign countries. You can thank the union for that. If there are any questions you guys have feel free to drop me a pm and if I do not know the answer (good possibility) I can get you an answer. On a side note.. Timken is the only bearing company that has bearings on mars.. M-A-R-S. mars bitches. :rockon: [/QUOTE]
