Faro Bearings highlights its full range of bearings for some of the most widely used corrugated cardboard manufacturing machines, positioning them among the company’s flagship products.
Corrugating rolls are essential components in corrugated board production lines, a material widely used in the packaging and box-making industry. To ensure efficient and high-quality production, enabling smooth and precise rotation, Faro Bearings’ roller support bearings are characterized by:
Long service life. The bearing rings are made of high-quality steel combined with a fully machined centrifugally cast bronze cage.
High load capacity. The bearings are designed to withstand heavy radial and axial loads generated during the corrugation process.
Precision and reliability. Precision is essential to maintain uniform flute formation. Any defects in roller movement can lead to imperfections in the cardboard.
Special radial clearance. Faro Bearings has developed a balanced radial clearance that absorbs the natural thermal expansion of the inner rings during machine start-up while maintaining the correct value once operating temperature is reached.
Heat resistance. During the corrugation process, bearings are exposed to temperatures above 200°C. For this reason, Faro Bearings applies a special heat treatment to the bearing rings to ensure optimal performance under these conditions.
Proper selection of bearing materials and an efficient lubrication system are therefore key factors in ensuring long service life and optimal operational efficiency, helping avoid costly downtime and excessive maintenance interventions.
