## Spindles and Cardan Shafts for Rolling Mills

Spindles and cardan shafts transmit torque from the drive to the rolls. They operate under significant loads, vibration, and frequent speed changes.

## Loads

- High torque
- Radial loads from spindle weight
- Vibration from rolling operations
- Frequent speed changes

## Solutions

High-load capacity spherical roller bearings and ball bearings are used. Bearings with reinforced cages are applied. Re-greaseable bearings are recommended.
