The Timken Co. has expanded its reliability solutions to provide maintenance consulting and training to its industrial customers. Under an agreement with Ivara Corp., reliability engineers of Timken will be certified to deliver specialized services and software to Timken customers.

The company has been mainly targeting manufacturing facilities for the primary metals, cement, oil and gas, chemical, mining, pulp and paper, and food processing industries and multiple types of equipment used in these facilities.

Timken will be using a methodology known as RCM2 to determine the maintenance requirements of many pieces of operating machinery within a plant. Additionally, Timken will offer a series of hands-on training courses filled with practical, ready-to-use maintenance practices – aimed at all different levels of maintenance and reliability sophistication.

Timken also will provide implementation consulting on asset-performance-management software that provides a cohesive and integrated platform to develop, implement and manage an equipment reliability program. The software uses predictive- and condition-based maintenance capabilities to monitor machine performance, and maintenance personnel are then prompted to perform the right work at the right time.
