    Bos
    Timken provides guidelines for the shelf life and storage of its grease-lubricated bearings and components. Shelf life represents the maximum time before use or installation, and is less than the total design life. Timken's shelf life assumes adherence to its storage guidelines, which include keeping products in their original packaging, avoiding damage to packaging, and storing in a temperature- and humidity-controlled area free of contaminants and vibration. Deviations from the guidelines may reduce shelf life.

    Inasmuch as Timken is not familiar with a customer’s
    particular storage conditions, these guidelines are strongly
    suggested. However, the customer may very well be required
    by circumstance or applicable government requirements to
    adhere to stricter storage requirements.
