NSK has developed its latest four-row tapered roller bearings for rolling mills to offer a number of class-leading performance and environmental benefits. The work roll bearings use newly developed, water-resistant grease that is fully sealed into the confines of the bearing. With the new bearings, service life is typically doubled in challenging conditions such as those where there is a high risk of water penetration. In addition, the sealed design means that grease consumption is far less than that exhibited by a conventional ‘open’ bearing, while the risk of contaminating the environment is greatly reduced.
