HSC bearing units with half-round outer ring for continuous casting machines

• To accommodate thermal contraction andexpansion of roll, the inner ring of this bearingare designed to move smoothly in the axial direction.

• The bearing has been developed for the purpose of improvement in short service life of spherical roller bearings most commonly used for continuous casting machines.

• The ribs provided for the inner and outer rings and loose rib allow accommodation of axial loads generated by thermal contraction and expansion of rolls.

HSC bearing units with half-round outer ring

• To accommodate thermal contraction and expansion of roll, the inner ring and roller of this bearing are  designed to move smoothly in the axial direction.

• This unit has unique structure, with a half-round outer ring placed on the loaded side only. • This special half-round outer ring and compact seal design realizes a 15 % increase in static load rating  over that of conventional products.

• The unique jacket design adjusts the flow of water and enables a high cooling efficiency, equivalent to  that of conventional products with a lower water flow rate of 55 %.
