Application technology

Main types of rolling mill bearings by application role.

The catalog defines rolling mill bearings by where they work in the mill: bearings for rolls, roll mill locating bearings, screw-down bearings and bearings for rolling mill auxiliary equipment.

Application map

Start with the role, then choose the family.

Bearings for rolls

Roll bearings include sealed and unsealed groups used around mill roll positions.

  • Four row cylindrical roller bearings
  • Double row cylindrical roller bearings
  • Four row taper roller bearings
  • Spherical roller bearings
  • Backing bearings and continuous casting groups

Roll mill locating bearings

Locating bearing groups support positioning and axial/radial guidance in mill applications.

  • Deep groove ball bearings
  • Four point contact ball bearings
  • Angular contact ball bearings
  • Taper and thrust bearing groups

Screw-down bearings

Screw-down bearing groups are part of the mill load and adjustment system.

  • Spherical roller thrust bearings
  • Taper roller thrust bearings
  • Screw-down bearing references

Auxiliary equipment bearings

The catalog also classifies bearings used in transmission, transport rolls and auxiliary equipment.

  • Sealed spherical roller bearings
  • Auxiliary rolling mill equipment positions
  • Support and movement bearing groups

Sealing logic

Sealed and unsealed options change the product path.

Application enquiry checklist

Use this checklist before submitting an RFQ. It follows the catalog logic and avoids incomplete enquiries.

1Identify role: roll, locating, screw-down or auxiliary
2Confirm sealed or unsealed requirement
3Provide bearing code, bore and dimensions
4Share load, speed, clearance or tolerance needs

Catalog support

When the exact type is unclear, send the mill role and any old designation. Stanley support can guide the catalog family to review.
