NSK Bearings help you achieve longer life from Quarry conveyors
NSK Bearings for Quarrying Conveyors
Conveyors are the arteries of quarries; they are subjected to arduous operating conditions that can cause failure of bearings in their rollers, pulleys motors or gearboxes, resulting in expensive downtime. NSK’s HPS™ series of spherical roller bearings effectively addresses these problems. The HPS™ series delivers improved performance with twice the running life (as the result of minimising slippage) compared to conventional SRB of the same size, and a maximum limiting running speed that has been improved by up to 20 %. These performance advantages provide significant benefits in conveyor operation, by reducing maintenance and energy costs, and – often - enabling product downsizing.
Another NSK solution to improve the life performance of bearings in quarrying conveyors is Molded-Oil™. An oil-impregnated polymer, Molded Oil provides a solution for conveyor bearings that are difficult to access and/or are used places where oil and grease absorbing dust is produced. It can transform the performance of bearings, in terms of reliability, maintenance free intervals and operation - in environments exposed to contamination. It also enables plant operators to make real cost savings by replacing existing, and often costly, methods of lubricating machine parts.
