The lifetime of pot bearings is one of the major sources of maintenance shutdowns on a continuous galvanizing line. However the lifetime between different lines can be very different whereas the general process windows may look the same

A simple model is proposed to quantify the expected wear rate, considering the bearing geometry and process parameters. A viable model would help operators... -

Modern automotive grade continuous galvanising lines (CGL) are presented with a significant risk when considering online trials of new galvanising bath submerged journal bearings. Such trials of submerged bearings can pose significant financial loss should untested bearing components fail, resulting in unplanned maintenance stops. This limits opportunity for hardware improvements on modern...
