BEARINGS & DRIVE COMPONENTS

Bearings are uniquely designed for this application. The most common are the anti-friction or spherical roller bearings. These bearings have become standardized and perform excellently in almost any condition.Rotary Kilns are normally gear driven through girth gear mounted over the shell on gear support base, assembled on a section of the shell away from the shell end where high temperature is encountered. To compensate the thermal expansion, the girth gear is mounted on a tangential spring plates attached to the shell.
