Pulp and Paper Production
Paper machines must operate smoothly and dependably - ideally around the clock, 365 days a year. Within minutes, these remarkable machines can produce a paper sheet section measuring up to 2,000 meters long and more than 10 meters wide out of pulp or waste paper.
This process is extremely demanding for the paper machine's cylinders and rolls - as well as the rolling bearings, which must function together in perfect harmony! Schaeffler's FAG- and INA-branded rolling bearings for paper machines are engineered to the highest standards of quality and performance.
The Best Products for Pulp & Paper Machines
Despite ever-increasing speeds, extreme humidity and high operating temperatures, longer service life is the primary objective for pulp & paper machines. To that end, only rolling bearings that are able to continuously withstand shaft deflections, moisture and extreme temperatures can ensure smooth, dependable operation over the long term.

Coatings for the Paper Industry
Rolling bearings have a significantly longer operating life when the right coatings are used.
The main advantages are:
Increased resistance against damage by slippage
Reduced frictional forces
Facilitate axial displacement of non-locating bearings
A higher level of machine availability
Cost savings
Why use coatings?
The bearings used in paper machines have to withstand loads and friction of various kinds. Coatings optimize their wear and friction behavior. Schaeffler offers a range of different coating types for rolling bearings in paper machines, including:
