NSK bearings reduce heat-related failure
A
NSK UK product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Jul 31, 2009
NSK's bearing substitution programme has reduced heat-related bearing failures in a heat-shrink tunnel used by a frozen-food manufacturer.
A report compiled by NSK confirmed that the main cause of failure in the tunnel, used for packaging beef burgers, was the excessive temperature the bearings had been subjected to.
NSK provided HLT Self-Lube inserts for the application.
The inserts are designed to reduce maintenance, downtime and replacement costs at temperatures ranging from +180C to -40C.
They are suited to high-temperature applications as the increased clearance between the balls and raceways helps to prevent radial pre-load, thus maximising bearing life.
The design features pressed-steel cages and silicone rubber seals with a wide operating temperature range, and a pure, high-performance grease on the bearings to ensure long-term operation.
HLT inserts are available across the Self-Lube range and offer a relubrication facility, allowing and allow the Self-Lube protector to be fitted on pillow block types.
