Taller integral marítimo exclusivo Since 1948. it's only just beginning
Our story begins in 1948 in the city of San Fernando, Buenos Aires — widely known as the nautical capital of Argentina. From a city defined by its deep maritime tradition, TIME was built with a singular purpose. Our founder set out to modernize the naval industry through innovative, high-quality products. Today, he is remembered as an undisputed reference point in the manufacturing of critical components for the marine sector. "He is remembered as an undisputed authority in the manufacturing of critical components — a benchmark the entire industry continues to look to."A Legacy Forged at Sea O U R S T O R Y Alfredo Juan MuñizF o u n d e r - T I M E T a l l e r N a v a l

We are pioneers in the science of tribology the discipline that studies the interaction between surfaces in relative motion, encompassing friction, wear, and the lubrication of materials. This scientific foundation has shaped everything we build, positioning TIME as a company with more than seven decades of proven expertise, backed by invention patents and trusted by the largest shipping companies in Argentina and the region — companies that choose our products for every one of their projects.

Our design achieves the lowest friction coefficient available on the market, sustaining hydrodynamic lubrication even at low speeds and under critical load conditions — while consistently reducing shaft wear. The helical design follows the rotation of the shaft, significantly enhancing lubrication and extending the service life of both the shaft and the bearing. Its design promotes a continuous water film, generating a hydrodynamic wedge effect that substantially reduces metal-to-rubber contact.

Our design achieves the lowest friction coefficient on the market, maintaining hydrodynamic lubrication even at low speeds and under critical loads, while reducing shaft wear. Manufactured in synthetic rubber acrylonitrile neoprene, compliant with ASTM 720 MB standard resistant to contaminated and sandy water, oils, and greases. Sectional vulcanization allows our clients to reuse their existing bearing housings, reducing drydock time while optimizing budget management. Our combination of advanced design and premium manufacturing materials guarantees reduced shaft wear and the highest quality in terms of resistance, lubrication performance, and long-term durability.

Helical DesignThe second purpose of the lubricating film is to reduce heat and flush out impurities during operation, such as sand and other abrasive particles that may damage the shaft. The helical design features a distinctive and superior characteristic compared to the straight-design bearing. Shaft support occurs at tangential contact points, which minimizes inter-material friction and reduces wear, thereby extending the product's service life. In the straight-design bearing, the shaft rests against the full stave surface. Multiple tangential shaft support points Water lubricating film
Helical Design vs. Straight ◈ Significantly optimizes shaft lubrication, reducing wear by a minimum of 30%. Through advanced engineering design, TIME`s bearings deliver a measurable wear reduction extending service life. m a x i m i z e p e r f o r m a n c e . ◈ Tangential contact shaft support geometry minimizes inter-material friction and wear. The bearing's load distribution is based on tangential contact points, a design principle that reduces the contact stress area, decreasing the coefficient of friction directly translating to lower mechanical degradation over operational cycles. ◈ Reduces frictional heat generation and enhances contaminant evacuation during operation. Mitigating thermal buildup caused by friction. Furthermore, the design promotes the active flushing of abrasive contaminants, including sand, silica particulates, and other abrasive foreign bodies away from the shaft contact surface, preventing accelerated wear and protecting shaft integrity during continuous operation.
