Solutions for Improving Aggregate Conveyor Reliability

The core ingredients of the construction industry, aggregates require conveyors that can transport these resources reliably, quickly and efficiently. To that end, Schaeffler is exhibiting a broad array of solutions for conveyors, including the industry’s most complete range of split bearings – encompassing split spherical as well as split cylindrical variants – that allow for quick and easy mounting and dismounting. Schaeffler is also presenting its rapidly expanding lineup of mounted products, including upgraded housing designs – such as the company’s new SAF200 and SAF500WS (wide series) models – with increased breaking loads that enable fast, accurate and easy installation.

To ensure contamination is kept at bay in these applications, Schaeffler is displaying a broad array of sealing solutions, including the company’s MaxTAC and SuperTAC taconite seals that fit directly into the labyrinth seal grooves of standard SAF-series housings. Manufactured from high-grade steel, both seals offer a non-contact design that eliminates shaft wear. In addition, MaxTAC and SuperTAC II deliver exceptional speed characteristics and greater misalignment compensation than traditional contact seal designs.

Solutions for Vibratory Applications

Vibratory screens used for separating solid materials according to grain size are subjected to some of the most severe stresses in the construction and aggregates industries. Schaeffler will be exhibiting a variety of solutions to mitigate the effects of this challenging operating environment, including the company’s 223-series and new 233-series X-life spherical roller bearings.
