BUTTON ROLL
BUTTON ROLL
Button rolls are rolling components installed in wiper arms in the cooling bed trough that convey hot steel product onto the cooling bed to continue the cooling process. Each button roll is fitted with deep groove, high-temperature ball bearings that require no lubrication — eliminating a maintenance task in one of the most demanding environments in the mill.
Designed to operate under continuous high-cycle conditions alongside wiper arms, button rolls provide smooth, consistent steel movement from the trough to the cooling bed without the need for regular bearing servicing.
Benefits:
Button rolls keep hot steel moving smoothly onto the cooling bed while eliminating bearing lubrication entirely. This reduces maintenance requirements, lowers the risk of bearing failure, and keeps the cooling bed running consistently at high cycle rates.
Features
- Deep groove high-temperature ball bearings
- Lubrication-free bearing design
- Works in conjunction with wiper arms
- Long service life with minimal maintenance
FAQ
Button rolls are rolling components installed in the cooling bed trough that support and convey hot steel product, fitted with deep groove high-temperature ball bearings that require no lubrication.
Inside the cooling bed trough, working alongside wiper arms to support and move hot steel through the cooling process.
Yes. Button rolls work in conjunction with wiper arms to move steel smoothly and consistently along the cooling bed trough.
