Billet turner bearings

BEARING TYPE:

Tapered roller bearings

CONDITIONS:

Billet comes out of reheat furnace and dependent on size and shape, may need to be turned 90° prior to entering mill stand for rolling. Estimated ambient temperature is 300 – 400° F and bearing life was approximately 2 months.

RESULTS:

Bearings were filled with MPI-2000, high temperature MicroPoly. Bearings have been running for 9 months so far with no failures.
