SPECIAL BEARINGS FOR IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRY-14

Sendzimir mills Laminatoi Sendzimir Backing bearings are roller bearings with a particularly thick outer ring. They are mounted on stationary support shafts, forming a cluster together with the work rolls. The forces from the work rolls are transmitted via the support shaft and a system of support saddles to the rolls or machine stands. The logarithmic profile of the rollers contact allows obtaining an optimum load distribution under all load conditions and even in case of bearing misalignment under load. UNITEC backing bearings are subjected to heat treatments that improve surface structure...
