We have just successfully completed another project: a radial/axial bearing for a ball mill with a 1200 mm diameter shaft.
The ball mill bearing is one of the most critical components of the entire mining system, being directly responsible for supporting the rotating assembly and ensuring the equipment’s operational continuity.
Designed to withstand extremely high loads and operate at low speeds, the bearing works under a hydrodynamic lubrication regime, where the integrity of the oil film is essential to prevent metal-to-metal contact between the shaft and the bushing.
With preventive maintenance combined with White Metal bearings, you ensure longer equipment service life, greater operational safety, reduced unplanned downtime, and significant savings in operating costs.
