Through the use of MORGOIL KLX bearing technology, Morgan Construction Company is once again at the leading edge of rolling mill bearing development. The newly developed KLX bearing has shown that it can more efficiently distribute rolling load within the bearing, allowing more than a 20% increase in load capacity. This increased capacity allows a smaller KLX thin-sleeved bearing to be used in place of a larger, more traditional KL design. The smaller bearing in turn drives a size reduction of the width and height of the mill; it also substantially decreases the size of the lubrication system. These attributes contribute to reducing the overall capital cost of a new mill. Operational costs are reduced by the correspondingly smaller lubrication system, since it requires less oil to fill and maintain. The increased roll neck section of the KLX bearing, as compared to the traditional KL bearing, contributes to higher product quality by increasing mill stiffness.
