The application of TIMKEN bearings in slab continuous casting machine

According to cisa, TIMKEN TIMKEN bearing import bearings statistics, by the end of 2011 a total of 669 sets of continuous caster in China (including the slab continuous caster, generous slab continuous casting machine, small billet caster, etc.). In 2013 China's crude steel production 779 million tons, of which the plate yield more than 50%. Calculated according to first-class slab continuous caster each annual output 1 million tons, capacity utilization and proper consideration, preliminary estimates the current number of flow in slab continuous casting machine in flow between 420-500.

A profile of timken

Timken as bearings and related transmission of China metallurgical industry one of the important suppliers of products and services, its products and services successfully covers the nation's most advanced production line, successfully applied in iron process before (metallurgical mines a variety of equipment and mining vehicles), (no bell top blast furnace) ironmaking process, steelmaking process (parcel rotary table, the converter trunnion, continuous casting machine), the process of steel rolling, hot rolling mill, cold rolling mill, temper mill roll neck and crimping machine), and various auxiliary equipment, metallurgy, gear box, transfer case and roller, etc.

The slab caster with bearings

The slab continuous caster is timken bearing products one of the very successful application. Slab continuous casting machine casting roller (including fan, straightening section and horizontal section, etc.) earlier bearing configuration for the whole shaft adopts spherical roller bearings. Spherical roller bearing has the very good heart function, but have less than the axial floating ability. In recent years, with the development of bearing products innovation, slab continuous casting roll more and more use of spherical roller bearing can absorb more axial displacement of the toroidal roller bearing configuration mode.

The advantage of Timken ® ADAPT ® bearing

Timken to the Chinese market in 2011 launched a Timken ® ADAPT bearing among the current market a few solution can provide a full range of slab continuous caster bearing manufacturers
