Timken, umuyobozi wisi yose mubikorwa byubwubatsi nogukwirakwiza ibicuruzwa, yatanze ingufu za kinetic kubakiriya bayo binganda zizuba kugirango bagere ku iterambere ryambere mu nganda mumyaka itatu ishize.Timken yaguze Cone Drive muri 2018 kugirango yinjire ku isoko ryizuba.Ku buyobozi bwa Timken, Cone Drive yakomeje kwerekana imbaraga zikomeye ku bufatanye n’inganda zikomeye ku isi zikoresha izuba (OEM).Mu myaka itatu ishize (1), Cone Drive yikubye inshuro eshatu amafaranga yinjira mu bucuruzi bw’ingufu zikomoka ku mirasire y'izuba kandi yarenze cyane umuvuduko wo kuzamuka w’iri soko hamwe n’inyungu nyinshi.Muri 2020, isosiyete ikomoka ku mirasire y'izuba irenga miliyoni 100 z'amadolari y'Amerika.Mu gihe isoko ry’ingufu zikomoka ku zuba rikomeje kwiyongera, Timken yiteze ko izakomeza umuvuduko w’imibare ibiri yinjira muri iki gice mu myaka 3-5 iri imbere.

Carl D. Rapp, visi perezida w’itsinda rya Timken, yagize ati: “Ikipe yacu imaze kumenyekana neza muri OEM izuba mu minsi ya mbere kubera ubuziranenge no kwizerwa, kandi yashyizeho umuvuduko mwiza w’iterambere ukomeza kugeza na nubu.Nka sosiyete yizewe Abafatanyabikorwa bacu mu ikoranabuhanga, dukorana n’inganda nini ku isi kugira ngo dutezimbere ibisubizo byihariye kuri buri mushinga wo gushyiramo izuba umwe umwe.Ubuhanga bwacu mu bijyanye no gukoresha imishinga no gukemura ibibazo bifite inyungu zidasanzwe zo guhatanira. ”

Sisitemu ya Cone Drive igenzurwa cyane na sisitemu yo kugenzura irashobora gutanga imirimo yo gukurikirana no guhagarara kumashusho yifotora (PV) hamwe nizuba ryinshi (CSP).Ibicuruzwa byakozwe na injeniyeri birashobora kunoza ituze kandi bigafasha sisitemu guhangana nuburemere bwumuriro mwinshi binyuze mumikorere mike hamwe na anti-backdrive, ibyo bikaba aribintu byingenzi bikoreshwa mumirasire y'izuba.Ibikoresho byose bya Cone Drive byatsinze icyemezo cya ISO, kandi uburyo bwo gukora ibicuruzwa byizuba bikoresha igenzura ryiza.

Kuva mu mwaka wa 2018, Timken yagize uruhare runini mu gice kirenga kimwe cya gatatu cy’imishinga minini y’izuba nini ku isi (2), nka Al Maktoum Solar Park i Dubai.Umunara w'amashanyarazi ya parike ukoresha tekinoroji ya tekinoroji ya Cone Drive.Iyi parike yizuba ikoresha tekinoroji yizuba kugirango itange MW 600 yingufu zisukuye, kandi tekinoroji ya Photovoltaque irashobora gutanga MW 2200 yingufu zamashanyarazi.Mu ntangiriro zuyu mwaka, sisitemu yo gukurikirana imirasire y’izuba mu Bushinwa OEM CITIC Bo yasinyanye amasezerano na miliyoni n’amadolari y’amadorari na Cone Drive kugira ngo itange uburyo bwabugenewe bwifashishwa mu kuzenguruka umushinga w’amashanyarazi i Jiangxi, mu Bushinwa.

Timken yagiye gushora imari cyane mu bushakashatsi no mu iterambere, kandi yashyizeho uburyo bukomeye bwo gukora, ubwubatsi no gupima muri Amerika n'Ubushinwa, bugamije gushimangira ubuyobozi bwayo mu zuba.Isosiyete yakoze kandi ishoramari rigamije kongera ubushobozi bw’umusaruro, kwagura ibicuruzwa, no kongera umusaruro wa sisitemu yo kugenzura ibintu neza cyane mu nganda zikomoka ku zuba.Muri 2020, ingufu zishobora kuvugururwa, harimo n’umuyaga n’izuba, zizaba isoko nini ya Timken nini nini ya terefone, bingana na 12% by’ibicuruzwa byose by’isosiyete.
