There are many types of metallurgical equipment, not only the equipment required by the raw material plant, but also the equipment required from the upstream process to the downstream process such as the steelmaking process, the steel rolling process, and the leveling process. These equipments are equipped with various bearings. These bearings are used under "iron powder", "water", and "hot" conditions unique to metallurgical equipment, and must meet the requirements of "heavy load + vibration and shock", "from ultra-low speed to high speed + rapid acceleration and deceleration", etc. Conditions, used in the very harsh working conditions it holds.
The iron and steel smelting process is extremely demanding. The equipment needs to operate in an environment with a temperature as high as 3000C, a load of 3,000 tons, extremely slow swing, peak load and vibration. Increasing production requirements and the challenges of maintaining or even improving the quality of finished products. At the same time, operators are also under pressure to cut unit costs, improve product quality, and reduce environmental impact. This is a challenge for industries where reliable and safe production is no longer easy. It can be described as severe.
Temperature and speed limit, continuous high impact load, abrasive dust, corrosive chemicals and high humidity are the extreme working conditions faced by factories in the metallurgical industry. It can be said with certainty that these are rare challenges in other industries. These working conditions It will cause equipment aging, unplanned downtime, and make effective maintenance difficult even under better conditions. Increasingly stringent environmental and health and safety regulations also make environmental protection and employee safety a top priority.
Facing the pressure of increasing output and improving steel quality, equipment needs to meet the requirements of improving dimensional accuracy, improving surface quality, improving steel grade and production speed, and at the same time, it must overcome the requirements of high precision, high load, high speed and corrosive coolant. Daily challenges, reduce unplanned shutdowns and production interruptions, reduce labor and spare parts costs, extend repair and maintenance intervals, eliminate manual lubrication of lubrication points in areas with harsh working conditions, and reduce risks and accidents.
