KISSsoft and Timken

Apr 16, 2025

KISSsoft AG has partnered for many years with Timken to have their bearing calculation data in the KISSsoft® database, enhancing the accuracy of shaft system calculations. KISSsoft users connected to Timken cloud services can perform bearing calculations using internal macro geometry for over 7,000 Timken bearings. While the internal macro geometry data remains hidden within KISSsoft, it is available for precise ISO/TS 16281 bearing stiffness, stress, and life calculations. The internal geometry data is considered via Timken’s cloud services, enabling engineers to analyze bearing performance in specific applications with great confidence.

Did you know Timken offers a suite of online Engineering Tools where you can search for bearings, download CAD drawings, and complete relevant calculations? The site also offers users the ability to register for Timken® Syber® Bearing System Designer, as well as valuable product availability information on thousands of bearings.
