Timken: Bearing specialists for rolling mill equipment (2)
Repairing bearings can result in significant savings compared to replacing new bearings. The repaired bearing is subjected to cleaning, disassembly, inspection, raceway grinding or replacement of inner and outer rings, new rolling element manufacturing or original rolling body grinding, rolling element replacement, assembly, clearance adjustment, inspection and packaging, etc. To achieve the new product's performance, fully meet the user's requirements, thus saving a lot of bearing procurement costs. The best way to help customers keep their systems running smoothly is to equip their customers with the knowledge of bearing installation and maintenance. Timken's bearing training program teaches in-depth bearing knowledge to customer maintenance personnel. With a deep understanding of the bearing's operation, the interaction of the bearing with other system components, and how to use the bearing damage analysis method to diagnose and eliminate potential problems, the customer's maintenance team can respond early. Timken Bearing Professional Training courses can be held at the Timken factory or at the customer's site. In the course, maintenance personnel can master the correct bearing removal and installation methods, bearing maintenance procedures, bearing damage analysis, various bearing designs and metallographic changes to the bearing performance. In addition, Timken's reliability solutions help customers improve equipment reliability and reduce operating costs. Mainly include: condition monitoring products, reliability maintenance services and reliability consulting services. Condition monitoring products are divided into three areas, continuous condition monitoring products, such as wireless condition monitoring system StatusCheck®, remote wireless condition monitoring system; portable condition monitoring products, such as portable bearing tester; condition monitoring and analysis software. Reliability repair services include predictive maintenance services, root cause analysis services, and more. Reliability consulting services mainly include maintenance strategy analysis and maintenance process optimization analysis. For example, Timken's company, which helped produce flat rolled carbon steel, went out of work and avoided cost wastage. Due to the abnormal noise generated by a vital spindle on the mill's rolling mill frame and vibration, the repair personnel were repaired in time. To avoid future repairs and reduced downtime, Timken installed a StatusCheck® condition monitoring device on its bearings to fully measure its vibration. The device is a radio system designed to detect and monitor vibration and temperature beyond standard. Now, once the vibration changes, it can warn the operator of the Gerdin control room that there is a problem with the mill drive system. These monitoring results can be evaluated by the Timken Field Technology Group. However, further diagnostic testing is sometimes required to understand the severity of the condition. A comprehensive preventive maintenance program is important for steel production companies to help companies identify potential problems in a timely manner and prevent them from happening. In addition, Timken provides solutions to the different requirements of its customers and brings them greater value. For example, the Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Company in the United States has adopted Timken's rolling mill bearing solutions to greatly improve operating efficiency and significantly reduce costs. It is well known that the quality of rolling mill equipment is important at every stage of the steel manufacturing process. If a link is weak, it will affect production, quality and even actual benefits. Faced with high frequency maintenance and high cost of coiler pinch rolls, Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel can quickly identify areas of failure for hot strip mills. As the final step in shaping steel into steel coils, the coiler pinch rolls are critical to the quality of the product and its ability to be positive. Although two sets of equipment were used to make the mill run faster, the cast iron rolls of the two sets of underground coiler pinch rolls were replaced every two weeks due to excessive wear. With extensive application experience, Timken envisions special coatings to address the chronic wear of the rolls. Switching to this mill roll can extend the life of the roll by 200% to 300%. The rolls were plated with Timken mill coatings and were removed for evaluation after 12 weeks of use. Evaluation of the wear test of this roll showed that the bottom roll only worn 0.034 inches and 0.050 inches, while almost no significant wear was observed on the top roll. This solution has successfully extended the life of the mill. For Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel, the use of this equipment not only increases the working time of the coiler, improves the quality of the strip, but also keeps the shape of the rolls for a longer period of time, reducing the stock of rolls, while the new rolls Quality and reliability eliminate the need for on-site spare rolls. Timken's R&D capabilities also provide a good solution for rolled aluminum companies. Timken has used its advanced research capabilities to supply large-aperture cylindrical roller bearings for Siemens VAI Metallurgical Technology's two new rolling mills in China. After integrating global expert resources and forming a dedicated global research group, Timken developed a temperature field model for bearings and lubrication systems. Through this research, Timken acquired component temperature and lubricant flow. Valuable information to optimize the design of the bearing. With these unique designs and related processes, Timken designed bearings for Siemens' new aluminum and southwest aluminum plants to help customers successfully install a circulating oil lubrication system and improve the thermal stability of four-row cylindrical bearings. Avoid the adverse effects of harsh bearing conditions. For a long time, Timken has maintained close ties and extensive relationships with many of the world's leading mill manufacturers and end users. For more than a decade, Timken has been committed to developing the Chinese metallurgical market and has established and maintained good relationships with Chinese metallurgical customers. Through years of unremitting efforts, Timken's products and services have won the trust of Chinese metallurgical equipment manufacturers and end users.
