RKB Bearing Industries presents a new AF2D Multiroll Cage Design for rolling mill stands

RKB Multi-row cylindrical roller bearings, also known as Multiroll, are mainly used in rolling mill stands, where they are subjected to very high radial loads and impacts, combined with medium-low speeds. With its revision of the AF2D design, RKB adopted a new generation of two double pronged machined steel cage featuring:

  • Higher cage tenon stiffness compared with the classical design
  • Cage pocket optimization, which reduces roller drop and highly improves piloting
  • Enhanced cage manufacturing precision with narrow dimensional tolerances

 

Furthermore, to better suit in a wide range of applications and environments in the harsh conditions of the steel and aluminum industry, the new RKB AF2D Multi-row presents superfinished rolling elements with a special roller profile and an advanced crowning technology for outer ring raceways. Combining these two technical solutions, the new RKB AF2D Multi-row gets a smooth pressure distribution among rolling elements and ring raceways, reducing stress edge effect and leading to longer bearing service life.

Application

To meet different application requirements, the new RKB AF2D Multi-row is available with Inner Ring (L-suffix) in one or two pieces, both with cylindrical or tapered bore. Compared to standard through-hardened martensite steel microstructure, the RKB Bainite Treatment Technology - adopted for rings and rolling elements - of the new RKB AF2D Multi-row offers outstanding resistance to impacts, wear and fatigue.

 

In applications requiring an easy bearing mounting or an automated assembly utilizing robots, the new RKB AF2D Multi-row is the right choice due to its nonseparable design for the Outer Assembly - R and the special cage with limited roller drop.
