Solutions for Bearings in Paper Machines Webinar
Dr. Trevor Slack from American Roller Bearings (now part of Timken) delivers essential insights on bearing solutions for paper machine operations. This comprehensive webinar covers the three primary damage modes affecting spherical roller bearings in paper mills: corrosion from wet conditions, adhesive wear from inadequate lubrication, and bearing ring fractures. Mid-career professionals will gain advanced technical knowledge on preventing these failures through proper sealing, optimized lubrication strategies, case carburized materials, and engineered coatings. The presentation includes detailed repair classifications and life extension strategies that demonstrate measurable ROI through reduced downtime and extended bearing lifecycles, making it invaluable for operations managers seeking to benchmark their maintenance programs against industry best practices.
