Bearings for the Steel Industry - NSK Europe - #4

Text version of the page

4 It´s a tough life in the iron and steel industry: variations in temperature, high levels of contamination, belt speeds of more than 2000 metres a minute, rocking motions and impacts. NSK rolling bearings take all of this in their stride; from the preparation of the raw material, through the smelting process, right up to the final rolled product. We offer bearings that have been specially developed for all the relevant conditions encountered throughout the entire process. That´s why, for example, we have developed sealed spherical roller bearings for continuous casting plants that prevent the ingress of contamination and offer optimal service life. Our taper roller bearings and cylindrical roller bearings with self aligning outer ring are also perfectly suited for continuous casting plants. Then there are our taper roller bearings which are available in various special materials for rolling mills such as Water-TF and Super-TF together with our Sealed-Clean technology. Beyond that, we offer various bearings for sinter machines, LD converters, chain conveyors, levellers and many more. Reducing downtime through increased reliability The variants are many, but all our products have one thing in common: they are reliable, wear-resistant and durable - thereby ensuring profitable production. Innovation made by NSK – Sealed-Clean In 1980, NSK was the first company in the world to bring the sealed four row tapered rolling bearing (Sealed Clean) on to the market. Since then, we have continually improved the Sealed-Clean bearing. In this way, we have been able to measurably increase its load-carrying capacity through newly-developed internal construction and a new sealing system. Even grease consumption has been drastically reduced; which not only leads to lower costs but also makes it more environmentally friendly. Sealed-Clean bearings can be supplied in case-hardened and throughhardened steel. NSK‘s various steel specifications are particularly wear and shock resistant due to our special heat and surface treatment technology.
