Need Reliability, Performance and Improved Installation? TIME TO ADAPT. The metal industry’s tough environment places extreme demand on equipment. That makes maintaining operations and reducing downtime essential in continuous casters where performance and reliability are critical. ADAPT Bearing Innovation Timken’s new ADAPT high-capacity bearing offers mill operators the reliability they demand. The innovative design redenes the preferred choice of bearings for the oat position in strand roll support segments. The Timken® ADAPT™ bearing evolves the traditional cylindrical roller bearing and spherical roller bearing conguration into its new design. Its proprietary outer race and roller proles and a cylindrical inner ring combine the key attributes of both bearing types. The full complement of rollers maximizes load capacity. Installation Made Easier The ADAPT bearing consists of an inner ring, outer ring and roller/retainer assembly. The retainer holds the rollers in position, creating a single assembly that prevents the rollers from being damaged during mounting and dismounting. The separable components simplify installation, removal and inspection. The inner ring and outer ring can be installed in either direction, helping to avoid mounting errors. No special tooling is required. The ADAPT bearing offers the continuous caster industry: A full-complement design with a roller retainer to help eliminate roller fallout during handling, making installation easier Simultaneous full misalignment and axial displacement capabilities, for optimum performance Unique internal geometry optimizing contact stress distribution and roller stability promotes longer design life The design of the ADAPT bearing allows for simultaneous axial oat and a misalignment capacity of 0.5 degrees. The rollers align with the inner ring regardless of axial displacement and misalignment. Standard ISO dimensions simplifying interchange with toroidal and spherical roller bearings High static radial capacity for maximum reliability
