High Temperature Bearings Introduction:
High-temperature applications demand bearings that can withstand extreme heat without sacrificing performance, durability or reliability.
High temperature bearings are manufactured specifically for applications that run in harsh environments where machines cant be greased as in low or room temperature applications.
These bearings which are ideal for extreme high temperature applications are designed to provide high reliability, longer life and reduce machine operating costs
Application
These bearings support conveyor rolls that are designed to transport a variety of materials through industrial furnaces or ovens.
Generally, they are operated at slow speeds (up to 400 RPM).
These bearings are usually located on the outside of the furnace/oven with the shaft extending through the heated area.
In a rare instance, bearings are located inside the furnace or oven.
Typical applications include:
- Heat treat equipment
- Kilns, curing furnaces, etc.
- Food processing conveyors (bakeries, etc.)
