Steel Mill – Side Shift (Dive End) Line Shaft Bearings
CASE STUDY – STEEL MILL – SIDE SHIFT (DIVE END) LINE SHAFT BEARINGS Background The shaft bearings in the hot rolled steel sections of the cooling bank were conventionally designed with bronze as the specified material, which could withstand the extremely hostile environment. Disadvantages ¾ Bearings had to be replaced annually – downtime ¾ Bronze demonstrated typical wear characteristics of 12 – 15mm Following consider
