The continuous casting machine is one of the most challenging applications of bearings. In many key parts of the continuous casting machine, the bearings are in the operation state of high load, low speed and sudden temperature rise, and many bearings must also operate in the environment seriously polluted by water, steam and iron oxide chips. Therefore, the continuous casting machine bearing must have the high-end quality that can maintain continuous and normal operation under extremely bad conditions. The self-aligning roller bearing, fully loaded cylindrical roller bearing and other continuous casting machine bearings developed by Germany SKL Bearing Co., Ltd. for continuous casting machines have been widely used in metallurgical industry customers such as Xizhong Institute, and are highly praised by customers for their high-quality, fast delivery bearings and cost-effective price advantages.
Xizhong Institute (China Heavy Machinery Research Institute) is a typical customer of SKL Bearing Company in the metallurgical industry. Founded in 1956, it is an innovative high-tech enterprise engaged in comprehensive equipment technology research and development, design and engineering general contracting for China's metallurgy, heavy equipment manufacturing and other industries. SKL mainly provides self-aligning roller bearings, fully loaded cylindrical roller bearings and needle roller bearings for the sector section of the continuous casting machine.
In the CCM bearing project of Xizhong Institute, the customer needs are SKF/FAG or other imported bearings of the same quality, high temperature resistance, large clearance C4, and lower procurement costs. SKL bearings have been successfully applied to the continuous casting machines of the West Heavy Industry Research Institute with the advantages of high-quality imported from Germany, 30% reduction in procurement cost, 15% improvement in service life, and rapid delivery. The common models of continuous casting machine bearings include 24024, 24026, 24028, 24122, 24124 and other self-aligning roller bearings, NNCF5008V.C4.S3 full cylindrical roller bearings and NA6915/19/10C4.S4 needle roller bearings.
In addition, well-known enterprises such as Simak, AOI, Danieli, Baotou Steel, Shagang and Shangang are also typical customers of SKL bearings in the metallurgical industry. At present, common models of continuous casting machines are in stock in China, and non-standard customization can be made according to customer needs.
