Koyo Solid Lubrication Technology

Koyo Bearings, a division of JTEKT Corporation, has been recently expanding its business of NRB’s which are submitted with solid lube.

Koyo’s solid lubrication technology for which development activities started more than 10 years ago, was originally applied to bearings for the textile machine industry mainly, but is now finding its way to other areas of application as well. Read more 

Koyo solid lubrication appears to be especially successful in applications where small oscillating movements or high loads in combination with moderate speed apply. Since the rollers are encapsulated in lubrication mass; even the smallest rotations will always be made with optimum lubrication.

Our customers are increasingly focusing on “Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO) instead of looking at the bearing purchasing price only. They understand that the small additional initial investment to get their bearings filled with solid lube, more than pays back in terms of longer bearing life, less maintenance effort, repair costs and equipment downtime.

Koyo’s solid lubrication is inserted into the bearing in an injection molding machine. Therefore some investment into tooling is required for each bearing type & size. As a consequence this technology has proven to be mainly interesting for serial production applications with sufficient volumes to justify the (small) investment.

For any further information on Koyo’s solid lubrication technology and its possible applications; please do not hesitate to contact us directly via: Jaap ten Kate.

FAQ

What is a tapered roller bearing?

A tapered roller bearing is a bearing in which tapered rollers (truncated conical rollers) are inserted between the cup (outer ring) and cone (inner ring). The rollers are guided by the cone back face rib.

They have high radial and axial (thrust) load capacities at low to intermediate speeds. Taper roller bearings are available in single-row, two-row and four-row designs. With single-row bearings, the thrust load capacity is about 60% of the radial capacity. Double-row bearings have a greater radial load capacity and can handle thrust loads from both directions. The rollers can be configured so that the contact lines to the races converge or diverge towards the axis of rotation. Diverging double-row bearings increase the rigidity of the shaft mounting, but converging bearings do not. Other configurations for double-row bearings feature a single outer ring and two inner rings, or two outer rings and a single inner ring. Four-row tapered roller bearings consist of four rows of alternating converging and diverging rollers.
