NSK Success Stories - Steel Tube Making Machine: A manufacturer of raw steel materials (strip and tubes) was facing issues with standard bearings, mounted in the welding station of a tube making machine. NSK proposed bearings for high temperature environments with special grease.
NSK Industries - Pilger Mill: NSK proposed a special Spherical Roller Bearing with optimised internal design and Super Tough (STF) steel.
NSK Industries - Cold Form Saw for Steel Tube: No failures after 12 months of operation due to replacement to NSK ball screw support unit
NSK Industries - Continuous Casting Machine: A steel manufacturer could achieve a significant cost saving due to NSK's SWR Spherical Roller Bearings
NSK Industries - Wire guides: NSK investigated on a wire manufacturer in France who was experiencing frequent damage on final products due to bearing failures within their wire guides
NSK Industries - Air Recirculation Fan: Significant cost saving generated by removing the need for compressed air cooling
NSK Industries - Wire Forming Production: NSK suggest a trial using a specially selected Lithium Complex grease together with a Sealed Double Row CylindricalRoller Bearing Unit
NSK Industries - Cold Rolling Mill: NSK 4-row WTF (Water-Tough) Bearings for a better resistance to damages caused by debris ingress.
NSK Industries - Hot Strip Mill: A large manufacturer of steel wanted to increase replacement intervals for 4-row Tapered Roller Bearings used in the hot strip mill. Due to severe operation conditions, standard bearings provided 1.400 hours of operation.
NSK Industries - Plate Rolling Mill: NSK Sealed Clean 4 row tapered roller bearing assembly reduce grease disposal costs & maintenance time.
NSK Industries - Dust Extraction Fan: NSKHPS Spherical Roller Bearings in combination with SNN Plummer Blocks and labyrinth seals for increased productivity and reduced maintenance costs
NSK Industries - Continuous Annealing Process Line: NSK's engineers identified that bearing type and sealing arrangement were inadequate for the application
NSK Industries - Milling Machine: A steel mill company producing rails for lift equipment needed to machine two flat areas at the rail ends where the rails would be fitted during the assembly. Because of the length of the rails, the stiffness of the spindle was critical.
Success Stories - Tandem Cold Mill: NSK engineers were consulted to review the mill design and they proposed the use of sealed clean KVS bearings with grease lubrication. These were installed and after 1 year of operation the performance excellent.
NSK Success Stories - Micro Wind Turbine: Improved performance, reliability, simplified assembly procedures and longer bearing life
NSK Industries - Gearbox for Wind Turbine: An important workshop for wind gear units had five shafts out of specification. The bearings were rotating on the shaft causing damage to the surface. The rectification of the shafts to their initial diameter was not a viable option.
NSK Industries - Grinding Machine: A manufacturer of MDF boards was facing problems of premature bearing failures every 2-3 months on the work roll of the grinding machine. Shock loads and vibrations significantly impacted on the bearing overall performance.
NSK Industries - Vacuum Pump: A major manufacturer of silicon wafers for microprocessors experienced a failure on their vacuum pumps which were equipped with NSK bearings. A proactive maintenance strategy needed to be integrated.
NSK Industries - Belt washer: A trail with NSK ball bearings Molded-Oil was agreed, which resulted in an increase of bearing life from 3 months to over 12 months
NSK Industries - Band saw machine: A customer experienced failures in a silicon saw application. NSK proposed to replace the bearings with Deep Groove Ball Bearings using Molded-Oil lubrication.
