Achievement in Steel Rolling Mill Bearings 2022-03-21 10:27:35

The working conditions for steel mill bearings are demanding as they will face dust, steel particles, water, heat, high speed and high temperature.


Four-row cylindrical roller bearing works as the radial cylindrical roller bearings on the roll neck. Its performance values the most for the rolling mill bearings.



ESG Bearing, as an expert on steel rolling mill bearings. We are always improving ESG quality to better meet steel mill’s requirements. With years of testing, ESG Bearing now announced that ESG has successfully make our four-row cylindrical roller bearings with steel cage.


The working life, wear-resistance and performance of the radial cylindrical roller baring with steel cage proves to be better than bearing with brass cage.


Succeed in steel cage on rolling mill bearings


ESG Bearing, specializes in making high quality rolling mill bearings for steel mills of bars, angles, beams, coil and sheet, etc.

↑ higher load

+ wear resistance

→ longer working life

compared with brass cage


About This Achievement

ESG Bearing has been spent about 3 years for the testing and improving our production of radial roller bearing with steel cage. And now the overall feedback for steel cage is good with ESG’s control for every processing steps.

Radial roller bearings for rolling mill stands are working in the poorest conditions with heat, heavy load, high speed, particles, and water. Early type of the roller bearings usually used brass cage for good tenacity and vibration damping.

With the material and technology, we are having now, ESG’s roller bearings with steel cage will have a better performance of tensile strength, peel strength, wear resistance, vibration damping than bearing with brass cage. It will be more widely used for more steel mills.
