The gypsum dryer is the last step in the manufacturing process. During the vital drying step, a conveyor belt driven by a roller chain moves gypsum plaster boards through an oven. It may sound simple, but several key components and conditions have to work together to ensure quality drywall.

Regal Rexnord RexPro Roller Chain is the standard for high-quality chains. Made in Germany, RexPro and RexProX feature a combination of select steels, optimized manufacturing, and Regal Rexnord RexPro Lubrication, resulting in outstanding product characteristics. The chains are available in European and American standard.

Customers often ask about our product nomenclature for cylindrical roller bearings: the numbers and letters that determine a product description. Here’s the "inside story."

Regal Rexnord® has developed an internal program to analyze a cylindrical roller bearing under a given duty cycle to determine the probability that a selected bearing will meet the life requirement of the specific system. The program accounts for ring and roller crowning and calculates loads, which are affected by the component geometry.

Using the Regal Rexnord power transmission analysis with duty cycle gearbox life and reliability calculation techniques, we can select and optimize the proper bearing type to maximize the support bearing’s life potential for your gearbox, keeping your trucks on the road.

It is not uncommon for cylindrical roller bearings to require modifications to meet the demands of a particular application. Heavy loads, high speeds, poor lubrication parameters, dissimilar housing/shaft materials and unique mounting conditions all may require modifications or adjustments.
