Bearings and Related Products Continuous Casting Machines In continuous casting machines, roll support bearings are used under heavy loads and at extremely low speed. In addition, the operating conditions are severe, resulting in exposure to splashing water and scales. Accordingly, roll support bearings may be failed in an extremely short period of time, typically due to wear and To solve these problems, JTEKT has developed a series of products optimized to support the rolls of continuous casting machines, including bearings, oil seals, HSC (Half Split Cylindrical Roller) bearing units and...

Bearings and Related Products for Continuous Casting Machines 1. Failure mechanism of Bearing h continuous casting machines, rolls are loaded under excessively heavy loads and may be bent considerably. Accordingly, to support the rolls, spherical roller bearings, which have a self-aligning, are commonly used JTEKT has performed a variety of verification tests and analyses concerning this application, and concluded that differential slip occurs in the spherical roller bearings on the rolls of the continuous casting machines when excessively heavy loads at extremely low speed are imposed on...

Bearings and Related Products for Continuous Casting Machines 2. High performance Products and Their Features (1) Roll support bearings Compared with spherical roller bearings, cylindrical roller bearings do not produce differential slip on the contact surface between each roller and bearing raceway under the excessively heavy loads delaying the development of wear and thus extending bearing service life. • SC bearing at free side To accommodate thermal roll contraction and expansion, the inner ring of this bearing are designed to move smoothly in the axial direction Bearings Classified by...

Bearings and Related Products for Continuous Casting Machines (2) HSC bearing units with half-round outer ring This unit is designed to support the rolls of continuous casting machines at their middle position under heavy loads, and has high cooling efficiency. This unit has unique structure, with a half-round outer ring placed on the loaded side only. This special half-round outer ring and compact seal design realizes a 1 5% increase in static load rating over that of conventional products. The outside diameter surface of the outer ring is finished spherically, providing a self aligning to...

High performance Products and Their Features (3) Oil seals for roll support housings This oil seal is applied for non grease evacuated type (Called Seal Out Type) housing. The standard material of seal rubber is H-NBR, which well resists to high temperature and stable under steam For the roll barrel side, the GE type seal having a dust lip that securely prevents the ingress of water For the roll end side, the ME type seal with a dust Fig. 11 Type and shape of oil seals Fig. 13 FEM Analysis for Effects of Bumper Lip All these...

Bearings and Related Products for Continuous Casting Machines (4) Oil/Air lubrication system This system supplies lubrication oil into the housing by means of compressed air. Therefore, the internal pressure of the housing is essentially high preventing the ingress of contaminants. This lubrication method is the most suitable for bearings used under severe environments where they may be exposed to scattering water and scales JTEKT supplies Oil/Air lubrication systems contact JTEKT for further details. lubrication system low, realizing a clean work environment. Prevention of contaminants...
