NSK ‘GREEN ENGINEERING’ PROGRAMME ACHIEVES UP TO 47 PERCENT CUT IN POWER CONSUMPTION FOR BEARINGS USED IN DOMESTIC APPLIANCES

NSK ‘GREEN ENGINEERING’ PROGRAMME ACHIEVES UP TO 47 PERCENT CUT IN POWER CONSUMPTION FOR BEARINGS USED IN DOMESTIC APPLIANCES
Rolling bearings are indispensable to machinery and equipment; their function is crucial in the role of transferring rotational energy with minimal energy loss: i.e. energy conservation. At the same time bearings can play a major role in the preservation of natural resources by providing enhanced operating life, and also through downsizing as a result of the combination of improved materials and optimised design.

NSK PROVIDES SOLUTION TO CEMENT DUST CONTAMINATION, INCREASING BEARING LIFE BY OVER 50 PERCENT AT MAJOR CEMENT PLAN

NSK PROVIDES SOLUTION TO CEMENT DUST CONTAMINATION, INCREASING BEARING LIFE BY OVER 50 PERCENT AT MAJOR CEMENT PLAN
NSK’s cost saving Asset Improvement Programme has succeeded in solving a recurring problem of large bearing failures in a screw pump conveying system at a major cement works. Because of contamination, 27 bearings in one year were consumed by the screw pump system. NSK has reduced this by over 50% with its solution based on Hi-TF™ bearings, at the same time reducing maintenance costs and improving reliability at the plant.

TAILOR-MADE SOLUTIONS INCREASE SERVICE LIFE

Dirt, moisture, abrasion and high mechanical loads: driving elements in agricultural machinery and the associated mounted implements are subject to severe strain. The bearings used also have to be tailored to these conditions. It is possible to increase the drive systems’ useful life by selecting the ideal bearings or using customised engineering. Special attention should be paid to the materials and seals.
