resist seizure and wear in spite of constant vibration, misalignment and shock loads.


As a result of the new measures, bearing consumption at the steel plant has reduced to one fifth of the previous level, with subsequent benefits in less production downtime and maintenance.


NSKHPS spherical roller bearings not only offer temperature stability up to 200°C, but a dynamic load rating some 25% higher than the industry standard. The upshot is a bearing that provides twice the operating life of conventional alternatives.


Aside from advanced motion technology, NSK can offer customers extensive guidance on maximising the performance of bearings. In the case of the hot rolling mill application, the result of this advice was greater bearing life. However, the company can add value in many other ways, including the generation of higher productivity, the reduction of stock/inventory,


enhanced customer skills through targeted training, delivering on-site inspection and/or installation services, the provision of technical reports or lubrication analyses.

The steel plant was very pleased with NSK’s recommendations and their subsequent benefits, as evidenced by a new order for NSKHPS spherical roller bearings when the market started to recover from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic at the beginning of 2021.
