NSK offers a range of motion and control products specially designed for mining and aggregates industry environments. Aggregate, mining and construction sites require bearings tough enough to withstand harsh working conditions, extreme vibration and abrasive contaminants, which combine to result in equipment failures, frequent bearing replacement, increased maintenance, and costly downtime. Contamination is still the leading cause of premature bearing failure. The harsh working environments in aggregate, mining, construction and steel industries demand products that combat contaminants while maintaining performance and efficiency – that’s where NSK’s advances in both sealing and lubrication technology deliver maximum bearing performance. NSK’s specially patented Tough Steel™ formula and heat treatment prolong the life of bearings engineered specifically to withstand the high speed, shock loading, misalignment and marginal lubrication conditions typical of vibratory equipment. In fact, 80% of all bearing failures are a direct result of contamination or low lubrication levels. NSK’s innovative Tough Steel™ bearings are manufactured with a patented steel formula and are designed to reduce the flaking and wear caused by contamination. The formula also allows for increased resistance to seizure, which in turn contributes to longer bearing life. The microstructure of Tough Steel™ results in dents caused by particles in contaminated lubricants to have smoother edges that are less prone to breakage or flaking than other bearing steels. Less internal flaking reduces contamination in the raceway, that in turn means less fatigue and longer bearing life.
