against contaminant ingress &
helps to retain grease

same capacity as the unsealed
bearing
• 2TDI Configuration featuring
spiral bore grooves, faces slots
and no center spacers
• Solid or Relube Cup Spacers

Thrust Bearing
- absorbs external thrust
- stabilizes axial roll position
Most popular anti-friction BU Roll bearing…high capacity / high precision capability
Note: Drive side chock may use locator bearing, such as deep groove ball bearing

CRB - BUR Bearing Installation
• Outer race and roller assemblies are
loaded into the chock.
• Inner rings are mounted independent of
outer ring/ roller sets.
• Inner rings are mounted with an
interference fit on the roll neck.
• Inner rings can be supplied to finished
“OD” size or can be finish ground on the
roll neck.
Back-up Roll
21. WORLDWIDE LEADER IN BEARINGS AND STEEL

• Minimizes eccentricity of the
Roll Neck to the Roll Body
• Minimizes Inner Race Wall
Section Variation Contribution to
Eccentricity
• Provides Tighter Control of
Bearing Radial Internal
Clearance ( R.I.C. )
• Provides More Consistent
Inner Race OD Size Control ( on
each neck )

Installing the Chock Assembly:
• Suggested Mounting Methods:
• Chocking/ Dechocking Machine
• Piloting Sleeve
• Overhead Crane
- Care must be taken when using
a crane to align the chock prior to
installation.
• Regardless of mounting method, care
must be taken not to damage the inner
races during assembly.

Key Points for CRB Back-Up Roll Bearings:
• Inner Races Stay with Rolls
• Outer Assembly Stay with Chocks
• Chock Assemblies Interchangeable from
Roll to Roll
• Inner Race OD’s Can be “Skin Ground”
to Extend Useful Life in the Mill
(however RIC will be affected)

q Atomized at Mist Generator and conveyed to nozzles
q Ideal mist velocity: 12-15 ft/s
q Piping sized to achieve desired velocity
q Gravity feed required from mist generator
q Internal Chock Pressure ≈≈≈≈ 0.75 psi
q Venting required for proper distribution of oil
q Oil Viscosity should not exceed 460cSt
q Air and Oil are typically pre-heated
q10% of oil mist may remain airborne (Stray Mist)
