Roller bearings in mills are generally used to support the rotary mill rollers and ensure that they rotate smoothly. These bearings aim to minimize energy losses by reducing friction while carrying the weight of the rollers.
Roller bearings usually consist of components such as bearings or bushings. Bearings facilitate the rotary motion of the rollers using rolling elements (usually balls or rollers). These bearings are ideal for high-speed rotary applications. Bushings are usually made of metal or polymer materials and may have self-lubricating properties to reduce friction.
The roller bearings must be in the correct position and well lubricated to ensure efficient operation of the mill. This reduces excessive friction and wear, optimizes energy resources and extends the life of the mill.
