Roller bearings in the harness are used to securely and accurately mount axles, shafts and bevel gears. They ensure low-friction, low-vibration rotation of these components. Customers all over the world trust in the high-precision roller bearings of the SMS group. As a result, they not only avoid downtime but also ensure high quality and dimensional accuracy of the rolled products.
SMS group’s high-precision roller bearings are manufactured to an accuracy of one thousandth of a millimeter – much higher than any other manufacturer. Due to the high precision, the bearing does not need to mark its eccentricity, so there is no need to mark the inner or outer ring with standard marks. For our customers, the advantage of this is that when installing bearings, especially in the case of paired bearings, errors will not occur due to insufficient consideration of eccentricity. In addition, shaft-to-shaft mounting accuracy is higher, which in turn has a positive impact on the quality and dimensional accuracy of the rolled products
Cylindrical roller bearings for radial loads Due to the special shape of the rolling elements, cylindrical roller bearings are suitable for maximum radial loads. In addition to their high load-bearing capacity, they can also accommodate high rotational speeds, which is why these bearings are mainly used in wire rod mills. The cage has particularly high strength and stability and can withstand strong acceleration and deceleration forces.
Deep groove ball bearings for radial and axial loads These single row bearings are suitable for high speeds and are capable of absorbing mainly radial loads and, to a lesser extent, axial loads. Deep groove ball bearings can be used in a variety of applications but cannot be removed for installation purposes. Therefore, although they are suitable for high speeds and axial and radial loads, they are not the only bearings used; other types of bearings are also available. SMS group has many years of experience in the field of high-precision roller bearings – they are used in more than 100 wire rod rolling mills worldwide. SMS roller bearings continue to evolve and adapt to our customers’ changing needs.
