Bearings For Mining

SBS Bearings For Mining

Mining Industry

Mining operations place extreme demands on machinery, with increasing pressure on bearings to perform.

In the mining industry, high loads, contamination and shock are only a few factors contributing to high bearing expectations. This calls for targeted solutions engineered for durability and reliability.

Mining bearings are often exposed to dust, mud and dirt. Along with vibration, impact loads and extreme temperatures, harsh environments are able to significantly influence bearing performance and longevity. As such, premature bearing failure is often caused by contamination and overstraining.

Implementing suitable bearings mean maintaining and/or prolonging equipment uptime. Beyond lost time, downtime in mining operations can lead to various significant costs. The failure of a single bearing can result in costly unplanned outages, wear and tear, and expensive maintenance, especially within remote locations. Keeping equipment running smoothly is also essential to ensuring worker safety.
