MINING INDUSTRY
Mining relies on heavy-duty equipment such as crushers, conveyors, draglines, and vibrating screens. Bearings are essential for managing high radial and axial loads, enduring shock, resisting dust ingress, and ensuring smooth motion in extreme underground and open-pit conditions.
Bearings Used in Mining Industry:
Spherical Roller Bearings
Designed to manage extreme vibrations, misalignment, and heavy radial loads. Ideal for crushers, vibrating screens, and ore processing machinery.
Cylindrical Roller Bearings
Provide high radial load capacity with excellent rigidity. Widely used in conveyor pulleys, gearboxes, and large rotating drums.
Sealed Spherical Roller Bearings
Equipped with integrated seals to block dust, slurry, and debris. Suitable for dusty and abrasive conditions common in mining sites.
Split Plummer Block Units
Allow quick on-site bearing replacement without shaft removal. Perfect for remote or underground operations where downtime is costly.
Core Challenges in MINING INDUSTRY
Dust & Abrasive Contaminants
Mining sites expose bearings to fine dust, rocks, and sludge, leading to early wear.
Shock Loads from Crushing & Hauling
Sudden impact forces in crushers, trucks, and vibrating equipment deform bearings.
Maintenance in Remote Locations
Many mining machines operate underground or off-site, delaying regular servicing.
Extended Downtime Costs
Every hour of equipment stoppage leads to substantial production loss.
EDX Solutions Built for Performance
Advanced Sealed Bearings
Prevent dust and rock ingress, especially in mobile crushers and conveyors.
Shock-Resistant Roller & Cage Profiles
Built to absorb impact loads without deformation or spalling.
Split Plummer Blocks for Fast Servicing
Allow bearing changes without removing the entire shaft.
Longer Life in Contaminated Zones
Lubricants and coatings extend bearing intervals under abrasive conditions.
