• Roll Drive Design Considerations for Steel Mill Rolling Operations (.pdf)
  The conveying system that links one process to another is the lifeblood of any rolling mill. Lose this ability to move product and you lose production. As anyone in the steel industry knows, if a single component can shut down production of a multi-million dollar steel mill, this component...
• More than a lubricant
  . All greases are made by mixing an oil with a thickener, typically soap, clay, silica, or a synthetic material like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Thickeners hold the oil in place. When grease shears -- by a rotating shaft, sliding lever, or rolling-element bearing, for example -- thickeners...
• Bearings take the heat
  of vibration accelerate brinelling of rolling elements and may shorten bearing life by a factor of 10. A certain amount of vibration is inevitable in rotating systems and large operating clearances promote it. Conventional metallic bearings and bushings need sufficient clearances to accommodate thermal...
• Biodegradable Lube for Metalworking Operations
  In aluminum rolling mill operations like this one, Alcoa, Inc., tested ARS's new biobased metalworking fluid and preferred it to the petroleum-based lubricants. A new metalworking fluid derived from soybean oil rather than petroleum is proving a smashing success in trial runs by Alcoa, Inc...

  sliding guideways to rolling guideways in machine tools. Resulting benefits include higher feed speeds and accuracy, and simpler guiding structures that reduce machine assembly time and labor. Rolling guideways are available with balls or rollers, and each has different characteristics in terms of load...

  , good alignment, and a minimum Brinell shaft hardness of 300 to 400. They are used in high-load, low-speed applications such as trunnion bearings, gear bushings for off-road vehicles, rolling-mill bearings, and in internal combustion engines for connecting-rod bearings, valve guides, and starters...
