  • Full-Complement Cylindrical Roller Bearings for Crane Sheaves

    Full-complement cylindrical roller bearings for crane sheaves that are equipped with tight seals intended to prevent intrusion of foreign matter.

    Features

    • Contact seals provide improved sealing capability to prevent the intrusion of foreign matter and water.
    • Large radial and axial capacity is retained for high capacity performance.
    • Phosphate coating provides improved corrosion resistance.
    • Grease can be replenished through the use of inner ring lubrication holes.
    • The number of bearing peripheral parts required for mounting the bearing has been reduced through the use of snap rings on the outer ring.

  • WTF™ Bearings

    Bearing life extended by threefold under conditions of water infiltration and power debris (iron oxide) contamination.

    Features

    • Crack generation is restricted through the use ultrahigh cleanliness technology for the bearing steel as a measure against water infiltration.
    • Chemical components of the bearing steel have been optimized in order to strengthen the grain boundary as a measure against cracks generating along the grain boundary.
    • TF technology has been applied to the bearing steel in order to enhance service life under conditions of contaminated lubrication.

  • Extra-Capacity Sealed-Clean™ Four-Row Tapered Roller Bearings

    FNSK, the first company in the world to offer sealed roll neck bearings, now offers the Extra-Capacity Sealed-Clean series of roll neck bearings

    Features

    • Newly designed internal specifications and a new compact seal result in a high-capacity design that provides increased bearing capacity.
    • The new main seal and seal holder are designed for easier mounting and dismounting.
    • The new bore seal prevents the buildup of negative pressure as a measure against water infiltration.
    • Bearing material is made from super-TF steel, which contributes to enhanced bearing life under conditions of contaminated lubrication.

  • Molded-Oil™ Bearings

    Molded-Oil bearings are lubricated with oil-impregnated solid material, which is contained within the bearing. Oil slowly seeping from this solid lubricant material provides ample lubrication to the bearing for extended periods.

    Features

    • Designed to prevent water and other liquids from washing out the lubricating oil while preventing dust and other contaminants from getting inside the bearing.
    • Low-torque achieved by packing the bearing with oil-impregnated solid material after bearing surfaces have undergone a special surface treatment.
    • Protect the working environment by eliminating stray oil mist or leakage.
    • High-speed capability enabled through optimal composition of the solid lubricant material and methods used for the molding process.

  • High-Capacity Cylindrical Roller Bearings EW and EM Series

    Through the application of NSK's innovative concepts, the EM series bearing has a greater number of larger rollers than that of a conventional bearing. Furthermore, the optimally designed one-piece cage offers high rigidity and low-wear performance.

    EW Series Bearing

    Features

    • Bearing life increased by approximately twofold.
    • Noise and vibration levels reduced by 60 to 70 percent.
    • Cage strength has been increased by one and a half to twofold.
    • Limiting speed increased by 10 to 25 percent.
    EM Series Bearing

    Features

    • Bearing life increased by approximately twofold.
    • Noise and vibration levels reduced by 40 to 50 percent.
    • Cage strength has been dramatically improved.
