Upgrading of Brass Cage for Rolling Mill Bearing

Even though ESG Bearing has successfully made our rolling mill roller bearings with steel cage, brass cage is still popular among some clients. In order to make their preference and our persistence for a better performance meet, ESG Bearing has been searching and testing better brass material for our cage. And now we are proud that MISSION COMPLETE.


ESG Bearing is now able to offer our clients with a better performing brass cage, with higher antifriction and impact resistance.

Achievement for Old Rolling Mill Upgrading | Esgbearing.com

disadvantages of old rolling mill stands

Early and old types rolling mill stands were different from modern mill stand. Usually spherical roller bearings were installed onto the roll neck, meeting the production requirements at that time. However, it became outdated with more and more  problems as steel mills have higher demand for rolling mill delivering speed.

Achievement in Steel Rolling Mill Bearings

The working conditions for steel mill bearings are demanding as they will face dust, steel particles, water, heat, high speed and high temperature.


Four-row cylindrical roller bearing works as the radial cylindrical roller bearings on the roll neck. Its performance values the most for the rolling mill bearings.



ESG Bearing, as an expert on steel rolling mill bearings. We are always improving ESG quality to better meet steel mill’s requirements. With years of testing, ESG Bearing now announced that ESG has successfully make our four-row cylindrical roller bearings with steel cage.


The working life, wear-resistance and performance of the radial cylindrical roller baring with steel cage proves to be better than bearing with brass cage.


Succeed in steel cage on rolling mill bearings


ESG Bearing, specializes in making high quality rolling mill bearings for steel mills of bars, angles, beams, coil and sheet, etc.

↑ higher load

+ wear resistance

→ longer working life

compared with brass cage


About This Achievement

ESG Bearing has been spent about 3 years for the testing and improving our production of radial roller bearing with steel cage. And now the overall feedback for steel cage is good with ESG’s control for every processing steps.

Radial roller bearings for rolling mill stands are working in the poorest conditions with heat, heavy load, high speed, particles, and water. Early type of the roller bearings usually used brass cage for good tenacity and vibration damping.

With the material and technology, we are having now, ESG’s roller bearings with steel cage will have a better performance of tensile strength, peel strength, wear resistance, vibration damping than bearing with brass cage. It will be more widely used for more steel mills.

Brief introduction of rolling mill bearing-four-row cylindrical roller bearing configuration

Four row cylindrical roller bearings + Thrust Bearings

Cylindrical roller bearings inner diameter works together with roll neck to endure radial force. It has the advantages of heavy load, high rotation speed limit, high precision,inner and outer rings seperability and replacability, easy procession, lower production cost and convenient mounting and dismounting. The thrust bearings endure axial force. The detailed structure type can be chosen based on rolling mill feature.


When the heavy load speed is slow, the cylindrical roller bearings work with thrust bearings to endure thrust load with smaller axial clearance. When the rolling speed is higher, it works with angular contact ball bearings with higher rotation speed limit and with strick control of axial clearance to make the roller work with close axial guide and endure general axial load force.


This bearing specification type has the advantage of longer bearing life, reliability, high presion of the rolling products and easy control. So they are applicant widely in wire steel rolling mill, plate steel rolling mill,frame rolling mill, double-support roll of cold rolling mill and hot rolling mill.

Brief Introduction On Rolling Mill Bearings-Four Row Tapered Roller Bearing Specification Models

Four Row Tapered Roller Bearings


Four row tapered roller bearings can endure both radial force and axial force without thrust bearings to make the main machine more compact. The inner diameter and the roll neck of four row tapered roller bearings work together with loose fit-up for convenient installation and dismounting. However sometimes the loose fit-up will slip. So the inner diameter will be made with screw oil tank.


At present, this specification model is still widerly applied in the working rolls of the four row hot rolling mill and cold rolling mill, bloomer and beam rolling mill.

Four row cylindrical roller bearings

Four row cylindrical roller bearings are mainly used in cold/hot rolling mill,bloomer and other steel rolling mill machines.The bearing structure is separate structure. The bearing rings and rollers can be separated easily. So it is convenient for bearing cleaning, checking, mounting and unmounting jobs.


FC model bearing is consist of two outer rings and one inner ring. On the both sides of outer rings, there are blocker,middle blocker on the middle of the blocker. There is no blocker on the inner rings.


FCD model bearings consist of two pieces of NN model bearings..

FC model and FCD model bearings can allow the axial movement within the axis base to two directions. So, this kind of bearing are suitable for movable end bearings.

Four row cylindrical roller bearins for steel rolling mill

As critical roller bearing of rolling mill, the spare parts of four row cylindrical roller bearings can be replaced, installed, dismounted and cleaned easily. Within the radial installation area, it can provide max. radial loading ability with lower friction factor.

 

There are three kinds of structure type: FC type, FCD type and FCDP type.


FC Type

It belongs to separable bearings that inner ring can be seperated from the whole bearings. It has better limit rotation speed and can be interchangable. Protection cage can be brass or steel cages.


FCD Type

It belongs to separable bearing. However FCDP type will be much convenient than FCD type for separable degree. For FCD type, it can only make two inner rings separate from the whole bearing with higher limit rotation speed and interchangable feature. Protection cage can be brass or steel cages.

 

FCDP Type

It is critical roller bearing. The spare parts can be separable with high precision. It is very convenient to install, dismount and clean. Within installation area, it can provide max. radial load ability with lower friction factor. So it is applied in high speed, heavy load and terible working environment of rolling mill production.

 

Installation method of inner ring of four-row cylindrical roller bearing | Esgbearing.com

The inner ring and roller neck of four row cylindrical roller bearing should be interference fit. When installed, it should be heated to 80 ~ 90 ℃ and the temperature should not exceed 100 ℃. Otherwise, it is easy to cause annealing of bearing ring raceway and roller, affect hardness and wear resistance, and lead to bearing life reduction and premature scrapping. After the bearing is installed on the shaft, the inner ring must be pressed down immediately until it cools down. It is usually heated by induction heater, and it is forbidden to use cutting gun to bake. When the inner ring is installed on the roll neck, it is in close contact with the water retaining ring to prevent the water retaining ring from moving.
