In continuous casting machines, roll
support bearings are used under heavy
loads and at extremely low speed.
In addition, the operating conditions are
severe, resulting in exposure to splashing
water and scales.
Accordingly, roll support bearings may be
failed in an extremely short period of time,
typically due to wear and cracking.
To solve these problems, JTEKT has
developed a series of products optimized
to support the rolls of continuous casting
machines, including bearings, oil seals,
HSC (Half Split Cylindrical Roller) bearing
units and Oil/Air lubrication systems,
providing a systematic solution for
extending the service life of bearings in
this application.

In continuous casting machines, rolls are loaded under
excessively heavy loads and may be bent considerably.
Accordingly, to support the rolls, spherical roller bearings, which
have a self-aligning, are commonly used.
JTEKT has performed a variety of verification tests and analyses
concerning this application, and concluded that differential slip
occurs in the spherical roller bearings on the rolls of the
continuous casting machines when excessively heavy loads at
extremely low speed are imposed on the bearings under severe
lubrication conditions (Refer to Fig. 1). JTEKT therefore
recommends full complement cylindrical roller bearings for this
application.

!
Spherical roller bearing
When a spherical roller bearing is loaded, elastic
deformation occurs on the contact surface between
each roller and bearing raceway, producing an ellitical
contact surface. This oval surface causes differential
slip, which is attributed to the rolling mechanism of the
spherical roller bearing.
Under normal load conditions, this differential sliding is
negligible. However, under the excessively heavy loads,
the major axis of the contact ellipse may become
excessively enlarged, resulting in an increase in slip
rate.
When a cylindrical roller bearing is used to carry the
loads, differential slip does not occur on the contact
surface.

(1) Roll support bearings
! SCP bearing at fixed side
Compared with spherical roller bearings, cylindrical roller
bearings do not produce differential slip on the contact
surface between each roller and bearing raceway under the
excessively heavy loads, delaying the development of wear
and thus extending bearing service life.
This bearing is designed based on a full complement
cylindrical roller bearing, with reference to maximized static
load ratings. Crowning are set up on rolling surface of its
rollers, according to the size of loads, which contributes to
solve stress concentration at specific location. The ribs
provided for the inner and outer rings and loose rib, adjacent
to the inner ring, accommodate axial loads.
! SC bearing at free side
To accommodate thermal roll contraction and expansion, the
inner ring of this bearing are designed to move smoothly in
the axial direction.

The roller length is maximized
thanks to the compact seal design
and the roller diameter is
optimized by using a half-round
outer ring, realizing a maximal
static load rating.
The unique jacket design adjusts the flow
of water and enables a high cooling
efficiency, equivalent to that of
conventional products with a lower water
flow rate of 55%.

(2) HSC bearing units with half-round
outer ring
This unit is designed to support the rolls of continuous casting
machines at their middle position under heavy loads, and has
high cooling efficiency.
This unit has unique structure, with a half-round outer ring
placed on the loaded side only.
This special half-round outer ring and compact seal design
realizes a 15% increase in static load rating over that of
conventional products.
The outside diameter surface of the outer ring is finished
spherically, providing a self aligning to the housing.

(3) Oil seals for roll support housings (4) Oil/Air lubrication system
This oil seal is applied for non grease evacuated type (Called
Seal Out Type) housing. The standard material of seal
rubber is H-NBR, which well resists to high temperature and
stable under steam.
For the roll barrel side, the GE type seal having a dust lip
that securely prevents the ingress of water and scales is
recommended.
For the roll end side, the ME type seal with a dust lip is
recommended.
This system supplies lubrication oil into the housing by means
of compressed air. Therefore, the internal pressure of the
housing is essentially high, preventing the ingress of
contaminants.
This lubrication method is the most suitable for bearings used
under severe environments where they may be exposed to
scattering water and scales.
JTEKT supplies Oil/Air lubrication systems. Please contact
JTEKT for further details.
All these oil seals have a main lip equipped with a spring,
delaying deterioration in sealing performance due to thermal
rubber deformation. The bumper lip adjacent to the main lip
distributes contact stress on the roll, delaying roll wear and
thus extending sealing durability.
Oil seals applied for grease evacuated type (Called Seal In
Type) housing are also available from JTEKT. Please contact
JTEKT for further details.

Features of Oil/Air
lubrication system
!Low environmental pollution
!Prevention of contaminants ingress
into the housing
!Less restrictions for piping
!Lubrication oil saving
Oil emissions to the atmosphere are low,
realizing a clean work environment.
Compared with oil mist lubrication and grease
lubrication, this system provides the housing
interior with a higher pressure, essentially
preventing the ingress of contaminants.
Restrictions on pipe branching are lessened
compared with oil mist lubrication.
Consumption of lubrication oil is reduced.
