Designed to withstand the heavy loads and low speeds of continuous casters, HVK's range is designed to provide a particularly efficient solution for floating ends of single- and split-segment guide rolls. bearings accommodate roll extension with smooth axial displacement, and their self-aligning design allows for misalignment and shaft deflection without compromising performance. They have less sliding friction and wear, longer service life and more reliability than traditional bearing solutions.
Proven Advantages
Extended service life - prevents wear problems associated with differential slippage
Smoothly absorbs the axial thermal expansion of the roll and eliminates wear on the housing bore surface
Self-aligning capability accommodates misalignment and shaft deflection, minimizing the effects of edge loading
Fully complementary design options for very high loads

Design Features
Single Row Cylindrical Roller Bearings with Spherical Rings
Brass cage with pin or full complement design options
Large capacity internal design parameters with optimal size and number of rollers
Optimized roll crown reduces internal sliding friction and wear while absorbing roll bending
Available with/without lubrication holes on the self-aligning ring, lubrication groove and outer ring
Corrosion Resistant Phosphate Coating Options
