DSN and steel – a powerful combination
DSN and the steel industry have an excellent and long-established working relationship. Arcelor Mittal, Tata Steel, Danieli, OAO, TMK, ThyssenKrupp, Posco, Sandvik, SMS Group, Siemens and VAI are all clients and there are many more.
Wherever the steel industry works hard, you'll find DSN roller bearings.
DSN split-to-the-shaft bearings are found wherever steel businesses need reliability, accessibility and flexibility:
In the stacker reclaimers, bucket elevators, crushers and conveyors used to handle raw materials
In the smelting process in coke oven and blast furnace conveyors and fans
In steel-making, especially on continuous slab casters - DSN water-cooled bearings thrive on extremes of temperature. Typically they will deliver 2m tons on the upper segments and 1m tons on the lower segment
In the steel-forming process, DSN bearings keep hot steel moving in cooling banks undaunted by extreme wet and dirty conditions. Transfer tables move ton after ton of heavy steel slabs with ease on DSN bearings. Link spindles and Pilger mills also benefit from DSN reliability
Industry-wide support
DSN split bearings are key to all kinds of motors used in the steel-making process and are especially useful in trapped locations where the split nature of the bearings greatly reduces maintenance costs. They are also used reliably and effectively in fans and blowers, and conveyors.
Bearing choices
DSN offers several ranges of split to the shaft bearings. Read about each in more detail by following the links:
Water-cooled bearings ideal for slab casters and other high temperature applications
100 Series high speed, compact bearings
01 Series medium duty
02 Series heavy duty
03 Series extra heavy duty
Tapered bearings double-row, split tapered bearings in a rapidly growing range
Also available is a heavy duty bearing in an SD-compatible heavy duty pedestal.
We make what you need
And if you don't see what you need straight away, we'll make it for you. DSN has the experience and technological know-how to customize to whatever degree is appropriate – from special products created from scratch, to minor modifications.
Your choice of mounting
DSN mountings are available in a wide range of materials including iron, nodular iron or steel to complement the task. We offer a full range of SN-, SAF- and SD-compatible pedestals. Water-cooled bearings are supplied in special low-profile housings in cast or fabricated steel.
Ideal seals
Again, we offer a range of seals to suit the application. The steel industry frequently and successfully uses:
Felt (F) Standard in UK and Europe for most DSN bearings in general industrial applications
Triple labyrinth with Viton rubber cord insert (TL HT) Ideal in high speed, high temperature environments
High temperature packing (HTP) Replaces felt in high temperature applications. We also offer a silicon-free alternative
Synthetic rubber single lip (SRS) Suitable for wet but not submerged conditions. For improved lubricant retention the lip can be mounted innermost
