STEEL INDUSTRY

Steel production is relentless — from red-hot slabs in continuous casters to massive forces in rolling mills, every operation runs under brutal loads, high speeds, and constant heat. Bearings in the steel industry don’t just carry weight — they carry the process forward. They must perform in scale-filled environments, misaligned shafts, and zones where failure means halting thousands of tons of output.

Bearings Used in Steel Industry:

Inquiry Now
Spherical Roller Bearings

Allow misalignment and absorb heavy dynamic loads, making them ideal for work roll applications in rolling mills.

Inquiry Now
Cylindrical Roller Bearings

Deliver high radial load capacity and rigidity, commonly used in backup rolls and support structures.

Inquiry Now
High-Temperature Bearings

Specially engineered to withstand extreme heat from furnaces and hot rolling mills without lubricant breakdown.

Inquiry Now
Insulated Cylindrical Roller Bearings

Protect against stray electric currents in motors and drives, reducing electrical pitting and increasing service life.

Core Challenges in STEEL OPERTIONS:

Extreme Heat & Thermal Expansion

Bearings near furnaces or hot slabs experience continuous high-temperature exposure.

Heavy Radial & Shock Loads

Rolling and casting processes involve massive, fluctuating loads under dynamic movement.

Contaminants Like Scale & Water

Metal scale, water spray, and steam easily enter open bearings, causing damage.

Downtime Impacts Continuous Production

Unplanned stoppages can halt entire production lines, leading to severe delays.

​​EDX Solutions Built for Performance:

High-Temperature Grease & Heat-Resistant Seals

Engineered seals and lubricants allow continuous operation in furnace or casting zones without breakdown.

Robust Design with Shock Load Absorption

Roller profiles and cage design tuned for shock, ensuring structural integrity during forging impacts.

Contamination-Resistant Technology

EDX’s double-lip seals, sealed SRBs, and precision-finished races block contaminants and protect lubrication.

Reduced Maintenance Frequency

With longer service life and anti-wear coatings, EDX bearings minimize replacements and increase uptime.

Why EDX Makes the Difference:

Increase in bearing life at hot rolling drive ends.
Fewer lubrication intervals in caster segments.
Drop in unplanned maintenance with insulated bearings.
Customer retention across trusted steel plants.
