Extruders (Plastic and Rubber Processing):
• Tandem cylindrical roller bearings are extensively used in extrusion machines, where they support the screw that generates significant axial thrust during the processing of materials like plastics, rubber, or food products. Their high axial load capacity and rigidity ensure reliable performance under continuous high-pressure conditions.
• Example: Twin-screw extruders in polymer manufacturing.
Gearboxes (Industrial and Wind Turbines):
• These bearings are employed in heavy-duty gearboxes, particularly in planetary gear systems, to manage axial loads from gear meshing. Their ability to handle high loads while maintaining precision makes them ideal for demanding applications.
• Example: Wind turbine gearboxes, where they support the axial forces from the rotor and gears, enhancing durability and efficiency.
Rolling Mills:
In metal rolling mills, tandem cylindrical roller bearings are used to support rolls that apply high axial forces to shape metal sheets or bars. Their robust design ensures stability and precision during the rolling process.
Example: Cold rolling mills for steel or aluminum production.
