Industries

Metallurgical industry

The metallurgical industry enables the production and processing of metals, which are the basis for almost all other industrial sectors. From cars through building structures up to the energy industry, metals are an integral part of a variety of products.

One of the important components in all these applications are bearings. Without them, it would be impossible to achieve and maintain the necessary speed and accuracy that are critical to their operation.

At AKE Skalica we produce bearings of the highest quality for the metallurgical industry. They are designed and manufactured to cope with all the challenges posed by this demanding sector. From high temperatures and pressures to the presence of abrasive materials and corrosive environments, our bearings ensure that machines and equipment operate reliably, efficiently and safely under all conditions.

Key features of AKE bearings in the metallurgical industry

In view of the demanding working conditions and the high load capacity of bearings in metallurgical environments, AKE bearings meet special technical requirements.

Resistance to high temperatures

The metallurgical industry and steel mills operate at extreme temperatures and accordingly, AKE bearings are able to withstand high temperatures without losing their mechanical properties. Bearings intended for the metallurgical industry are often made of heat-stabilised materials.

High load carrying capacity

AKE bearings in the metallurgical industry are dimensioned for the high loads that arise in metal and steel manufacturing processes and operations. They can handle the load due to the weight of the material, as well as withstand pressure and vibration from the metal rolling and forming process.

Service life

In the metallurgical industry, maintenance of machinery and equipment is important. Access to bearing seats may be restricted due to high temperatures and other manufacturing conditions. Most service interventions require the shutdown of important equipment or large-scale technologies. It is therefore preferable to use sufficiently durable bearings that require only minimal maintenance and achieve a long service life.
