Quarrying, Mining, & Construction
Mining and construction equipment are often used in remote areas, such as mountains, deserts, or even 2,000 meters below ground. Widely different machines are used—from crushers, grinders, and excavators to sifters, screens, loaders, and transporters, with many operating continuously. This 24/7 operation means that breakdowns have a major impact on production, with repair often difficult due to the equipment’s size.
Bearings in mining and construction face extremely challenging conditions including:
- Heavy loads with impacts/shocks
- Light loads with high-speed rotation
- Heavy loads with low-speed rotation
As machines critical to building society, bearings in mining and construction equipment must be tough, long-lasting, and highly reliable.
NSK combines the very latest in design with our core technologies in materials, lubrication, and analysis to offer bearings that go beyond the limits of convention. NSK bearings provide both long life and high allowable speeds, increasing productivity and lowering maintenance costs in even the harshest sites while working toward more environmentally friendly operations.
NSK Experience & Technology
As mining and construction equipment operate in sites around the world, most bearings used in the industry are standardized by ISO and take maintenance into account. Never settling, NSK developed bearings with the top specs in the world.
- NSKHPS™ High Performance Standard Bearings for Industrial Machinery: Spherical Roller Bearings
With the latest cage designs and special surface treatments, NSKHPS bearings use the latest materials for greatly increased load capacity and longer life. - EM Series Cylindrical Roller Bearings
A machined one-piece cage allows for an increase in both roller size and the number of rollers, greatly improving function in this new generation of CRBs with exceptionally high load capacity and long life.
NSK continues its development efforts day-in and day-out to provide the mining and construction industries with the utmost in function, performance, and reliability.
