Foundry Applications Filled Bearings

Mold conveyor wheel and guide bearings

BEARING TYPE:

Ball bearings, 1-1/2" and 2" bore

CONDITIONS:

Higher than room temperature and sand contamination caused premature and inconsistent bearing life. The bearings could not be re-lubricated, complicating the bearing life problem further, causing excessive downtime and high maintenance costs.

RESULTS:

Bearing life was increased 3 to 4 fold. Based on an internal cost study, MicroPoly became the standard for these bearings.
