Factors Affecting the Price of the RMTS Series Rolling Mill Thrust Bearing

The price of the RMTS Series Rolling Mill Thrust Bearing is affected by multiple factors. As a professional roller mill manufacturer, NEWBEE Transmission can provide a transparent quotation plan to help users accurately control the procurement cost of rolling mill bearings:
Material Selection: The price of RMTS bearings made of high-quality materials such as G20Cr2Ni4A carburized steel is higher than that of those made of ordinary materials. This is because G20Cr2Ni4A carburized steel has enhanced wear resistance, making it suitable for heavy-load and high-wear working conditions of rolling mill bearings. If customized stainless steel materials are used for corrosive environments, the price will increase accordingly. When the cage is made of machined brass (for high-load stability), the price is higher than that of Steel 45# cages.
Precision Grade: Due to the strict raceway grinding precision requirements, the price of P4-grade RMTS Series Rolling Mill Thrust Bearings is higher than that of P5-grade ones, which is suitable for high-precision scenarios. For ordinary rolling scenarios, P5-grade bearings are sufficient to meet the requirements with higher cost-effectiveness. This is a common strategy used by NEWBEE Transmission, as a roller mill manufacturer, to match the needs of different rolling mill bearing users.
Specification and Size: The price of small and medium-sized RMTS bearings with a shaft diameter of 100-500mm is relatively affordable. For large-sized products with a shaft diameter > 1000mm or a housing bore > 1500mm, the price increases stepwise with the size due to the need for large-scale precision processing equipment, with a certain increase rate. As a large-scale roller mill manufacturer, NEWBEE Transmission can reduce the unit cost of some large rolling mill bearings through mass production.
Customization Requirements: The price of products requiring additional configuration of special seals (such as those with IP66 protection for harsh mill environments) or special lubrication systems will increase. For special rolling mill sizes (non-standard shaft diameter/housing bore), the price will increase due to the need for re-designing tooling. For specific quotations, you can contact NEWBEE Transmission to obtain exclusive rolling mill bearings solutions.

What Factors Should Be Considered When Purchasing the RMTS Series Rolling Mill Thrust Bearing?

Precise Size Matching: The RMTS Series Rolling Mill Thrust Bearing has a shaft diameter range of 100-1500mm, housing bore range of 150-1800mm, and height range of 30-300mm.
