Introducing the ES Series Idler Rolls from FMC Technologies, specifically designed for extreme service in the harsh environment of oil sands extraction. Link-Belt ES Series Idlers feature a patent-pending seal design that offers unique and superior benefits to competitor rolls.
Higher Load Ratings with Proven Seal Geometry
Wasted space in bearing housings affects bearing placement in the housing and causes increased shaft bending for a given load. FMC Technologies' patent pending seal design utilizes dual function components that make more efficient use of the available space inside the bearing housings. This translates into higher load ratings with proven seal geometry.
Longer Roll Life
Every aspect of our design and manufacturing contributes to the superiority of FMC Technologies ES Series Idler Rolls. Using high-quality materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing methods, each roll is built with minimal endplay, typically less than .010 inches. FMC's advanced, pressed head design yields superior total indicator run out (TIR) values by eliminating warping caused by welding. The precision-machined rugged cast bearing housings are designed to provide maximum rigidity to reduce bearing misalignment. These features result in longer roll life.
Flexible, Cost-Effective Rebuild Options
Industry standard roll design features a thin head that is welded directly to the end of the expensive, rubber coated shell. During a seal or bearing failure, this thin, welded head is often damaged and consequently, the entire roll must be replaced. FMC Technologies roll features a pressed head that can be removed from the shell to permit replacement of all components while reusing the same shell, maximizing the life of the rebuilt roll at greatly reduced costs. FMC pressed heads can be used to rebuild competitor rolls.
