Rolling Bearings in Vertical Mills Built by Gebr. Pfeiffer AG, Germany

The document discusses vertical roller mills used in cement production. Key points: - MPS vertical roller mills built by Gebr. Pfeiffer AG are commonly used to grind raw materials like cement, coal, and clinker in cement plants. - The mills offer advantages like low specific pressure, optimal waste heat utilization, accurate control, low noise, and needing only one mill for grinding, drying, and classifying. - Cylindrical roller bearings are used to support the grinding rollers and provide a high radial load capacity. Spherical roller bearings act as locating bearings to transmit axial forces.

Rolling Bearings in Vertical Mills

Built by Gebr. Pfeiffer AG, Germany

Examples of Application Engineering


WL 21 509/2 EA

Gebr. Pfeiffer MPS mills have been


used successfully for decades for
grinding, classifying and drying
mineral bulk material.
This type of mill offers the following
advantages:

low specific pressure level,


optimal utilisation of the waste
heat from rotary kilns and cooling
systems,
accurate control,
low noise,
only one mill is needed for grinding,
drying and classifying.

Long bearing life

A calculation of the attainable life L hmr using the


FAG calculation method yielded values of ca 1,5 times
the rating life L h10 . This calculation method takes into
account the influence of loads and operating conditions
such as temperature, lubrication (lubricant, viscosity,
additives) and the cleanliness in the lubricating gap.
The results show that the bearings selected for this
application are a suitable bearing concept for modern
vertical mills.
