It was hard on the manual workers to do all
the heavy lifting in the construction or industrial sites. With the development
of technology, numerous machineries were developed to ease the burden on them.
And what all of them had in common to bear the heavy load is the roller
bearings. Even in the conveyor belts that we so frequently see in the mining,
construction or even manufacturing industries, rely on them. Carrier roller bearings are the
backbone that helps in smooth operation of a conveyor belt. Be it stones or
paper, the burden accumulated with their large numbers is not something to joke
about.
Conveyor belts from different sites are
subjected to different working conditions. Hence, one cannot use the same carrier roller bearings to operate
them. For instance, conveyor belts in a printing press where magazines and
daily newspaper are printed compared to the one at a mining site. The materials
and the products differ in weight, the condition of working changes
drastically. That in a printing press, the working environment is controlled
and dust free. The only variable among it is some accidents happening in the
workplace, like short circuit. However, the mining site is one of the most
hazardous environments for any equipment or machinery. The dust and dirt will
be flying all around. The materials to be moved are often heavier than
anything. Finally, the uncontrolled temperature and climate outside affects the
machinery. In any day, the working temperature varies by 10-12 ®F.
Moreover, the climate adds other harsh conditions to a conveyor belt in the
open mining site that is not experienced in a printing press interior. This is
the reason why the roller bearings are designed according the loads and the
working conditions they would face.
At www.wd-bearing.com,
we prepare specific designs as well as manufacture carrier roller bearings as well as specialized roller bearings for various machineries at work. We
believe that the working conditions, loads carried and the type of load dictate
the type of roller bearings needed and we design as such. We guarantee the best
quality and the highest endurance for the products we manufacture, which will
help reach the highest efficiency for your machinery.
