Quarrying, Mining, & Construction
Image

Mining and construction equipment operate under some of the harshest conditions imaginable. From remote mountain ranges and scorching deserts to depths exceeding 2 kilometers underground, these machines face a constant battle against the elements.  The sheer variety of equipment used, from crushers and excavators to loaders and transporters, further highlights the need for diverse and reliable bearing solutions.
These machines often operate 24/7, meaning breakdowns can be incredibly disruptive and costly.  Due to the size and complexity of the equipment, repairs can be a logistical nightmare.  For these reasons, bearings used in mining and construction machinery must be exceptionally tough, durable, and reliable.

They need to handle a wide range of demanding conditions, including:

  • Heavy loads with impact and shock
  • This is a common scenario for equipment like crushers and excavators.
  • Light loads with high-speed rotation: This applies to machinery like screens and sifters.
  • Heavy loads with low-speed rotation: Loaders and transporters exemplify this type of demanding environment for bearings.
