had <br \/>experienced over 40 years of bearing maintenance, inspection, and replacement issues at its paper mill in the UK.<\/p><p>In total there were 136 bronze shell bearings in cast iron housings, supporting the hollow shafts of the mill&#8217;s drying cylinders.\u00a0<\/p><p>Due to access constraints and the steam temperatures associated with drying applications, inspecting and maintaining what had become an obsolete bearing design, required significant downtime.<\/p><p>In more recent years, replacing this legacy bearing product had become significantly more challenging, with no adequate engineering knowledge of older bearing designs onsite.<\/p><p>The mill needed a bearing that could withstand the high temperatures and excessive thermal shaft expansion, whilst offering fast and safe access for maintenance and inspection.<\/p><p>Furthermore, the customer was looking for a supplier that offered fast delivery from a reliable stock inventory, so that when a changeout was needed, downtime would be minimal.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67734df5 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget
