SO, WHAT TYPE OF STEEL MANUFACTURING ARE YOU SUPPORTING?
If you’re working in the industry you might already know that this is a key consideration when selecting bearings in the primary metal industry. A variety of bearings are used depending if tube, sheet, or bar steel is being made.
Another consideration for the industry is the original equipment being used by the steel manufacturing facility. Some equipment uses highly specialized bearings in the manufacturing process of steel. One other point to consider if you are working in this industry is the proximity of the bearings related to the steel making process. This factor will determine specifications such as clearance, heat treatment of the bearing steel, lubrication and lubrication oil holes/ grooves.

NEED A CUSTOM BEARING SOLUTION FOR THE PRIMARY METAL INDUSTRY? WE CAN HELP.
Major manufacturers often have long lead times when it comes to specialized bearings. They quote lengthy deliveries and require larger order commitments. At times the prices they quoted in the beginning have increased by the time the bearings are ready to ship.
This is not the case at Ritbearing. We offer custom-engineered bearing solutions with shorter lead times and smaller minimum order quantities. We can also accommodate custom bearing designs which require special greases, coatings and more.
Call Ritbearing at 1-800-431-1980 if you want options, alternatives, or a customized solution. Or contact us and we’ll have an engineer start working on a custom solution for you.
