Spherical roller bearings
NSK's TL series spherical roller bearings provide outstanding performance under high-temperature conditions. Inner-ring bearing fractures occur when the journal expands faster than the bearing, putting additional stress on the bearing inner ring. NSK's TL series increases inner-ring toughness using a special surface-hardening heat treatment that allows the bearing to handle the added stress. The result is a bearing that provides extended life and excellent dimensional stability.
NSK www.nsk-corp.com
Spherical roller bearings
NSK's EA spherical roller bearings feature a unique and patented design, incorporate a new higher-strength cage and larger, additional rollers, and use a roller guide function in place of a guide ring. The unique design optimizes roller performance and minimizes harmful skewing of the rollers. The sum of these changes increases the load carrying capacity between 10% to 20%, resulting in extension of operational life by 30% to 80%. The EA is suitable for a wide range of applications, including use in felt rolls and gearboxes.
