Maximize Mining Equipment Uptime with NSK's Advanced Bearing Solutions
Durability and reliability are crucial for mining machinery in remote locations, where a single component failure can halt operations. Bearings in mining, quarrying, and construction endure punishing loads, misalignment, mechanical shock, grit, contamination, and marginal lubrication. Access to machinery used for extraction, transport, and processing is often remote or restricted, making unexpected failures costly and disruptive.

NSK Spherical Roller Bearings for Vibrating Equipment
NSK’s long-life VE/VS series spherical roller bearings are engineered specifically to handle high speeds, eccentric loads, and mechanical shock in vibrating machinery. With an optimized internal bearing design and tightly controlled clearance and dimensional tolerances, these bearings deliver robust capacity and smooth operation over an extended service life.
Engineered Solutions for Vibrating Equipment:
- Manufactured from ultra-clean steel for optimal fatigue strength and longer life
- Heavy-duty, precision machined one-piece brass cage
- Advanced raceway surface finishing for durability and wear resistance
- Special dimensional tolerances - set at 1/2 relative to the normal - to minimize vibration during operation
- Special internal clearance - set at upper 2/3 relative to the standard - for optimal operating clearance and reduced heat generation
Performance Benefits:
- As much as twice the service life of conventional bearings in applications subject to frequent vibration
- High resistance to heavy and shock loads
- Surface finish minimizes sliding contact in high load zones and facilitates better lubricant film
- Superior roller guidance and lubricant distribution from machined brass cage
- High-speed performance with low temperature rise
- Reduced bearing damage from slippage, surface fatigue and flaking
- Higher operational reliability - reduced maintenance cost
