Successful in service
Although a recent invention, the CARB
toroidal roller bearing can be found in
a variety of applications spanning
almost every industry. This bearing
has already proven itself and in many
cases has outperformed expectations
by
• extending service life,
• increasing reliability,
• reducing maintenance, and
• providing more compact designs.
One of the major application areas
for CARB toroidal roller bearings is in
steelmaking and particularly in continuous
casters where the multitude of
guide rollers are subjected to the most
difficult operating conditions. Paper
machines are another important application
where shaft deflections and thermal
changes in roll length of up to 10 mm
have to be accommodated.
These are not the only fields where
CARB toroidal roller bearings perform
successfully. They are also in service
in gearboxes, large electric motors,
wind power plants, water turbines, bow
thrusters, crane wheels, separators,
centrifuges, presses, staking machines
for tanneries, rotary cultivators and
mulchers.
