MSA Self-Aligning Bearings

Metaullics Superalloy (MSA) self-aligning bearings are designed to be the ideal bearing, replacing current bearing materials, such as cobalt-based alloys, ceramic and stainless steel sleeve bearings, with improved technology, materials and performance.

Advantages

  • Lowers operational cost of CGL with increased submerged roll bearing life.
  • Enhances sheet finish quality by eliminating “skidding” caused by roll lock-up.
  • Excellent for high speed, low sheet-gauge lines.
  • Can help eliminate sheet fluttering, reducing costly zinc overrun on sheet surface.
  • Will eliminate start-up vibration during new bearing "wear-in" period.
  • Very low design clearance between sleeve and bearing.
  • Excellent hardness at operating temperature.
  • MSA Superalloy provides relatively smooth wear, compared to cobalt based alloys.
