Back-up rollers design and application for a better metal sheet quality
Back-up rollers in tension levelers are key parts which essential to support and limit the movement of the work rolls in order to get excellent quality on the metal sheet as well as reduce potential defects. Aware of the importance of this processing phase, LYSYM uses high quality steel for the production of its back-up rollers for tension levelers, with or without shafts.
To increase the bearing life, it can be ensured that the finished product will be free from imperfections caused by the rollers themselves. The effectiveness of the production process is particularly important in the case of flat products in stainless steel, aluminum and copper, for which the surface finishing represents a fundamental characteristic of the product.
Another issue in the processing of the sheet is caused by unscheduled production lines stoppages due to unforeseen maintenance interventions. Also in this case the fallout on the production cycle is immediate, with delays that impact the production itself. To give a concrete answer to the problem, LYSYM has implemented technological solutions in the production phase of its back-up rollers which have the objective of improving the performance and the useful life of the bearing and consequently extending the maintenance time. Among these we mention the rolling elements with a logarithmic profile, which distribute the hertzian pressures between rolling element and rolling track. The shafts made with special steels improve the toughness and avoid possible fatigue failures that are very common in this type of application.
In order to improve the bearing behavior and extend its life, LYSYM has also adopted axial containment with a cylindrical roller cage.
Concerning the sealing system, the choice is FEY laminar rings, capable to operate with high temperatures and reduce the rolling torques, with the guarantee of very high efficiency throughout the life of the bearing. For the purpose of lengthening the maintenance intervals, a lubrication circuit inside the bearing is specifically designed in order to provide the lubrication of all the axial and radial rolling surfaces. The camber of the outer mantle of the back-up rollers is adopted to counterbalance possible misalignments of the machine supports. LYSYM supplies the rollers in radial or axial-radial versions. Moreover, depending on the type of application, the company can supply, on request, also seals in metal or synthetic material.

What caused the fracture of the bearing ring?
The fracture of crossed roller bearing ring is a typical bearing failure mode in bearing failure analysis. According to some typical modes of bearing failure analysis, it mainly includes fatigue, wear, corrosion, electric corrosion, fracture, and plastic deformation.
Bearing fracture can include: due to external force; due to fatigue; due to heat caused by the bearing ring fracture.
When the bearing is stored, installed, used, disassembled, etc., the bearing ring is damaged by external force, which will cause the bearing ring to break. When the crossed roller bearing is in operation, if fatigue occurs locally, the edge of the fatigue part will have a stress concentration during the operation of the bearing, and the failure of the bearing ring will start to expand along this stress concentration point, and the bearing ring will break. Therefore, this type of fracture is caused by local fatigue.
Another common type of bearing ring fracture occurs when the temperature changes. If the bearing ring is locally heated, the bearing ring will locally expand, which will result in the fracture of the bearing ring. This is the thermal expansion and cracking caused by the local overheating.
Transport storage and installation
Cross-roller slewing bearings should be transported carefully to avoid collisions, not radial collisions, and they should be fixed horizontally on a wooden board. For long-term storage, place it in a dry and airtight room. The outer surface should be wrapped with plastic film or greased paper and coated with anti-rust oil. The protective coating on the contact surface and gears should be cleaned before installation. During cleaning, avoid the cleaning agent from entering the raceway.
The assembly gap has been adjusted at the factory, and it is usually not suitable to be disassembled; if the gap does not meet the requirements, it can be disassembled and adjusted. The method to check the flatness of the installation contact surface is to use a feeler gauge, which can directly check the unevenness of the mating surface, or can be checked with an industrial instrument. When installing the cross roller slewing bearing, you should first fix the pressing ring and rotate the gear ring to find the larger point of the elliptical long axis on the pitch circle diameter, and paint on the large diameter teeth. The outer gear ring is positive, and the inner gear ring is Negative.
When installing the pinion gear, adjust to the meshing between the painted teeth on the large ring gear and the pinion gear teeth, and the meshing clearance meets the technical requirements of the assembly clearance, then tighten the fixing bolts, and recheck the meshing clearance on the entire circumference after fixing.
The installation of the contact surface needs to be machined to eliminate the plane error, and it must be carried out after the entire structural part is welded. The rigidity of the processed structural parts should also be checked. It is required that the deviation of the mounting surface is not allowed to exceed the large deviation value under the large rated load. In order to prevent the pitch error of the bolts, rolling bolts are used, and the material of the bolts is medium carbon steel or medium carbon alloy steel. The strength of bolts and nuts is controlled by relevant standards. When selecting bolts and nuts, the hardness of the nut material should be lower than that of the bolt material, so as to avoid the bolts and nuts from tightening seizure and reduce wear. When tightening the bolts, the tightening torque should be selected according to the hole diameter. The tightening bolts should be tightened symmetrically in the 180° direction with a torque wrench and reach the pre-tightening force.
Spring washers are not allowed during installation. In order to reduce the pressure on the contact surface between the bolt head and the support, round flat washers after quenching and tempering are used.
How to prolong the service life of bearings
Choose the right bearing
In order to select a more suitable bearing from a large number of structures and sizes, it is necessary to study from various angles. The specific method of bearing selection is as follows:
1. The bearing structure is determined
Considering the ease of arrangement, installation, and disassembly of the bearing as a shaft system, the allowable space and size of the bearing, and the marketability of the bearing, the bearing structure is roughly determined.
2. Service life
While comparing and studying the design life of various machinery using bearings and the various endurance limits of the bearings, the bearing size is determined. When selecting a bearing, it is often biased to consider only the fatigue life of the bearing. The grease life, wear and noise caused by the aging of the grease also need to be fully studied.
3. Determination of bearing use
According to different uses, it is necessary to select specially designed bearings for accuracy, clearance, cage structure, grease, etc. requirements. However, there is no certain order and rules for selecting bearings. The priority should be considered for the requirements of the bearing, performance, and more related matters, which is especially practical.
The effect of heat treatment on the material of cross roller bearing
Crossed roller bearings are a kind of bearings that are used more mechanically, especially in industrial machines. Of course, when we use them, we need to have better performance of crossed roller bearings to ensure the performance of crossed roller bearings. For various properties, then we need to perform heat treatment on its processed materials, so why do we need heat treatment? Let’s take a look! 1. Surface residual stress The distribution of surface residual stress of bearing steel after quenching is largely affected by the cooling rate and quenching medium. For the materials used in crossed roller bearings, heating to 840 ℃…
Causes of temperature rise during use of crossed roller bearings
Crossed roller bearings are also commonly used nowadays. Many machinery and equipment will choose crossed roller bearings. Crossed roller bearings are favored because they have good performance and mainly meet the needs of use. Bearings are always used when they are used. If you want to rotate, it will inevitably generate heat during the rotation, but there is also a situation where the overheating temperature gradually rises.
Let’s take a look! 1. The influence of lubricating oil 1. If the amount of lubricating oil used is too little or too much lubricating grease, it may cause the temperature to rise, so when using it, it should be in accordance with the requirements of usual work…
