Along with regular exposure to the elements and abrasive dust, vibrating screens experience high vibration and heavy loads. Frequent component failures result - a condition many operators simply consider a cost of doing business.
If screen failures are catastrophic, damage to shafts and other components can drive repairs, downtime and costs. For equipment manufacturers, warranty and relationship issues are a concern.
Featuring high-grade, carbon chromium steel that has been specially treated to minimize the risk of wear and corrosion, Explorer steel/steel plain bearings offer a relubrication-free alternative to frequent regreasing. Non-toxic grease fills the bearing, which is then sealed with steel-reinforced SKF LS heavy-duty, triple-lip seals for high performance over long periods.
