With their ease of installation, removal and replacement, Ringfeder industrial gear couplings, shrink discs and locking assemblies are ideal power transmission components for steel production equipment, which have some of the most demanding operating conditions around. One specific application within the steel industry involves the bridle roll systems in cold steel mills.

Bridle roll systems, which are located near the melting furnaces, roll blazing hot sheets of metal to the next step in the milling process. To withstand the high torques involved in this process, engineers often see bridle rolls with shrink-fit connections, creating several challenges. Read more at the link below:
