Laser marked instruction of CROSSLOC™

Laser marked instruction of CROSSLOC™

by | Sep 15, 2020 | Uncategorized

We are planning to add laser-marked instructions for CROSSLOC™ on the nut. CROSSLOC™ is very user-friendly, requiring only the tightening of cap screws to lock and loosening them to unlock. However, we aim to enhance users’ understanding of this system to prevent potential failures and ensure safety on-site. These instructions will be provided in several languages through QR codes scanned from the housing’s pages.

<Information for your technical support team>

This locking system consists of two nuts: the inside nut connects with the inner ring, and the outside nut connects with the adapter sleeve. These two nuts are secured using four (or six) cap screws. The outside nut, attached to the adapter sleeve, is manipulated by the cap screws for locking and unlocking. To lock, the adapter sleeve must be pulled, and left-hand cap screws should be turned clockwise to pull and counterclockwise to push. Tightening the cap screws increases the gap between the two nuts, causing the adapter sleeve to move outward. Loosening the cap screws reduces the gap, moving the adapter sleeve inward. To prevent cap screws from twisting or getting damaged, the outside nut should move in parallel with the inside nut. Therefore, it is essential to tighten the cap screws in a star pattern and repeat the process. You may need to repeat this several times to ensure all cap screws are perfectly tightened, similar to the procedure for tightening automobile wheels.

When you want to unlock CROSSLOC™, you’ll need to loosen and turn counterclockwise. Although it involves a leftward rotation, turning counterclockwise will not loosen it. Begin by loosening all cap screws to free the components. Next, push the outside nut to release the adapter sleeve from the inner ring. Turn the cap screws counterclockwise in a star pattern and repeat until disassembled. The procedure for unlocking is the same as for locking, with the outside nut moving in parallel.

The outside nut should move parallel to the inside nut.

100 percent compatible with SN5

100 percent compatible with SN5

Only a few manufacturers in the world make unitized SN dimension metric units. However, our unitized SN is the only 100% compatible unit with standard SN5 in the world. Because the competitors use one size smaller bearings than standard SN5 bearings. Why? Because they use their adapter mount inserts which are same O.D. as their setscrew lock inserts although SN5 uses taper bore 222XX bearings with the adapters. Please check the chart below. The bearing sizes listed in red are smaller O.D. sized insert than standard SN5 bearings.

Their center heights and mounting pitches of housings are same as SN5, so they use larger housings with smaller insert to mach the dimensions. The smaller O.D. size has reduced load carrying capabilities and may lead to shorter bearing life. The long time SN5 users can’t expect the same bearing lives to those unitized SN5 units. We use the standard adapter sleeves in our patented CROSSLOC™ and this is why we are 100% compatible with SN5.

We are trying to be competitive on price as much as possible even with one size bigger inserts than others to achieve our goal. That is to replace all SN5 in the world with our SN to make them easier.

Our competitors sizes listed in red use a larger housing with a smaller O.D. sized insert than a normal SN5. The smaller O.D. size has reduced load carrying capabilities and may lead to shorter bearing life. 

Case Study : CX2SN20-090L

Case Study : CX2SN20-090L

by | Jul 1, 2020 | Uncategorized

We received this video from a cement company in Hokkaido Japan. This video was taken when they changed their SN520 units to our CX2SN20-090L. Our bearings were recorded before the pulley covers were installed. It’s a loading conveyor application using a 90 mm shaft and rotating at 1450 rpm.

They have been using SN520 bearing units for many years and the temperature of bearings was always a problem. Their regulation is that the temperature of the bearing should be under the air temperature of plus 40°C (104°F). The air temparature during this video was 14°C (57°F) and the SN520 was running at 70°C (158°F) against 54°C (129°F) their maximum temperature regulation. Then they switched to our bearings and the temperature went up to 50°C (122°F) for the first one hour and a half and went down to 26°C (79°F) and remained steady after the excess grease came purged.

Our bearings have been running about a month now and operating temperature remains low. They finally have a solution to a problem that has been plaguing them for years.
