Bryce Curl – R&D Powersports Technician
Bryce takes what he learns during utility vehicle (UTV) test drives and shares it with our engineering team. They use his findings to advance belt designs across our line, from powersports to agriculture. For example, our wide range of belts feature various specially-formulated rubber compounds and extra-strong cord to reduce the chance of a snapped belt as UTV drivers race to the finish line, or farmers harvest their crops. No matter the industry, the goal is always uptime.
Bryce joins our other 18,000 associates who do work that matters, and we are always looking for more problem solvers. Check out our current career opportunities here .

How Timken Harnessed the Perfect Storm—and Made Wind Energy More Viable
Wind has become an increasingly viable energy source over the past decade. Timken innovation has played a significant role.
Withstanding intense forces and the rigors of orbiting earth, this telescope continues to capture images as far as 15 billion light-years away.
Our bearings helped launch and guide Discovery in 1990. In 2009, astronauts used specialized tools—equipped with Timken® ball bearings—to repair and improve the telescope. Hubble is still going strong today.
