NMT Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings Axial Heavy Load Self-Aligning Shock Absorbing Bearings For Vertical Reducers And Extrusion Equipment
Vertical reducers, extrusion granulation equipment and large stirring units endure tremendous continuous unidirectional axial thrust during operation. Equipment frames tend to deform slightly under load, and coaxial deviation easily emerges during assembly. Ordinary thrust bearings have no self-aligning capacity. Angular offset leads to uneven force distribution on rolling elements, local overheating and fatigue damage, resulting in unexpected shutdown. Such heavy machinery generates impact loads during start and stop and works under relatively high temperature. Bearings face severe service conditions of constant high pressure and heat. Disassembly and maintenance work is complicated, and long-term production halt will bring huge losses. The market urgently demands spherical roller thrust bearings capable of sustaining ultra-large axial loads, compensating misalignment and resisting impact and high temperature.
NMT Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings are equipped with spherical housing washers and symmetrical rollers. Certain angular inclination between shaft and bearing housing is permitted to compensate misalignment caused by assembly errors and frame deformation and prevent edge stress concentration on rolling elements. Optimized roller profile achieves uniform load distribution, greatly raising axial load limit while bearing moderate incidental radial loads. Manufactured from high-purity bearing alloy steel with deep isothermal heat treatment, the bearings possess sufficient toughness to resist alternating impact loads and slow down fatigue damage on rolling contact surfaces. Ample internal space holds enough lubricant to form stable oil film under high temperature, reducing friction and heat generation. Standardized dimensions deliver good universality for retrofitting and replacement of various vertical heavy transmission equipment. Multiple lubrication options meet maintenance requirements of machinery running continuously for long periods.
A full range of specifications are available. Selection can be carried out according to axial load, impact frequency, operating temperature and installation space for all industrial transmission devices bearing heavy axial thrust.
