NSK Self-Lube bearings prove reliable in harsh conditions
NSK Self-Lube bearing units with triple lip seal and end cap protectors provide an extended service life in harsh operating conditions, such as those prevalent within the quarrying, mining and construction sectors. This performance is vital in these industries, where contaminants can easily penetrate poorly specified bearings, bringing machinery and equipment to a halt.
Downtime is the enemy of quarry/mine operators and construction project managers. Critical plant and equipment must offer reliable performance to meet demanding output targets, project deadlines and budgets.
Whether extraction, transportation, preparation, separation or enrichment, these processes are subject to contamination and debris, not to mention heavy loads, shock loads and vibration. Bearing selection is vital to ensure long service life. Getting it right means that mining and construction sites can maximise their uptime and productivity while simultaneously reducing maintenance costs.
By leveraging state-of-the-art design, material, lubricant and seals, NSK says its Self-Lube bearings exceed the life of conventional bearings. Furthermore, by selecting Self-Lube bearings with triple lip seal and shaft end protectors, the company says it is possible to reduce the costs associated with downtime and repairs.
