Paper machinery

To improve productivity the paper industry has moved towards higher machine speeds and greater web widths. At the same time, bearings used in paper machines are expected to offer higher reliability so that unplanned stoppages can be avoided.

The product range covers these requirements, and bearings are fitted throughout the paper production line. In particular, bearings developed for dryer sections using material heat-treatment technology, together with high-performance standard bearings for industrial machinery such as the HPS spherical roller bearing — developed by combining materials, design and manufacturing expertise — play an important part in supporting the paper industry.

Development will continue on the high-reliability bearings that are closely tied to production efficiency, so as to keep contributing to the development of the paper industry.
