Robust, wear-resistant and durable – NSK´s rolling bearings for the iron and steel industry 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...

The best combination for new developments: research and practical experience NSK rolling bearings for the iron and steel industry are the result of intense research and development, as well as a close working relationship with our clients. As a result of the demands of practical experience, we conduct a continuous improvement programme for our products, with as much regard to construction as materials and lubrication. In order to guarantee the highest standards of quality and reliability under the harshest of conditions, all NSK products undergo the most stringent testing on our test rigs development...
