The grain industry relies on bearings to keep equipment moving. Contamination due to grain dust is a leading cause of bearing failure, so you want a roller bearing with superior sealing capabilities. Switching from existing tapered roller bearings to spherical roller bearings can provide significant performance advantages for your grain operation. 

The gypsum dryer is the last step in the manufacturing process. During the vital drying step, a conveyor belt driven by a roller chain moves gypsum plaster boards through an oven. It may sound simple, but several key components and conditions have to work together to ensure quality drywall.

Customers often ask about our product nomenclature for cylindrical roller bearings: the numbers and letters that determine a product description. Here’s the "inside story."

Regal Rexnord® has developed an internal program to analyze a cylindrical roller bearing under a given duty cycle to determine the probability that a selected bearing will meet the life requirement of the specific system. The program accounts for ring and roller crowning and calculates loads, which are affected by the component geometry.
