Safety note: FAG use fluorinated materials for seals made of fluorocaoutchouc (FKM, FPM, e.g. Viton > Application Self-aligning capability 0.5ְfrom centre positionSpecial design with circumferential groove and three lubricating holes in the outer ring available (suffix H40F) Continuous casting plants feature a large number of sphericalroller bearings. Most of the bearings are grease-lubricated. Ensuring continuous supply of many bearings means that an enormous amount of grease is used. Therefore, in order to reduce costs and meet increasingly stringent obligations toprotect the environment, the...

Examples for continuous slab casting plant Cost comparison unsealed/sealed spherical roller bearings > Locating bearing FestlagerLoslager Floating bearing Customer benefit The following comparison for a con-tinuous casting plant shows the extent of savings made possible by using sealed spherical roller bearings instead of open bearings.The following costs were taken into account in the calculation: grease for re- lubricating the open bearing and for pre-sealing the sealed bearing ( ׀ 1.50/kg);disposal and removal of the grease from the coolant circuit (same amount).The production costs of new...
