Koyo Cylindrical Roller Bearings for Multi-roll Mill Backup Rolls

JTEKT started producing cylindrical roller bearings for backup rolls for Sendzimir mills in the 1950s and has continued to provide superior products for customers around the world. As regards to the backup rolls assembling products, which is the Key component of the Sendzimir mill, we concluded a production agreement for licensing with SENDZIMIR JAPAN, LTD. in 1970 and now supply over 100 products for Sendzimir mills around the world. We support our customer’s operations stability not only with cylindrical roller bearings for backup rolls, but with cylindrical roller thrust bearings for work...

Multi-roll mills enable our customers to utilize extremely small diameter work rolls with a choice of 12 or 20 rolls. Thereby, we are now capable of rolling hard materials such as stainless steel sheets and electrical steel sheets as well as rolling ultrathin copper. Cylindrical roller bearings for backup rolls play a significant role in obtaining this high level of efficiency. Photo by: SENDZIMIR JAPAN, LTD. 02

Cylindrical roller bearings for multi-roll mill backup rolls JTEKT has provided Cylindrical roller bearings for backup rolls with high durability and precision, contributing to the utmost performance in multi-roll mills. Required performance and issues Seal structure that maintains a favorable lubricated state Improving outer ring durability Longer inner ring rolling fatigue service life Improving outer ring rotational accuracy Improving ease of outer ring regrinding work (P15-16) Bearing configuration and features The bearings which are used for multi-roll mill backup rolls are attached to the...

Long life, highly corrosion-resistant JHS is driving innovations in steel production equipment. Iron manufacturing and rolling mill lines must operate continuously while maintaining high reliability in severe production environments. Answering these needs through the realization of epoch-making long-life and high corrosion resistance is JTEKT Hyper Strong (JHS). By adopting newly developed materials and processes for bearing steel, seal materials and other components, we have realized a 2-to-4-fold increase in bearing service life compared to previously used bearings. Continuing on from JHS520...
