Primary Metals

From the melting furnaces, to the hot mill, through the finishing stands, all along the way, RFB Bearings carry the loads that make, move, and shape the metal into it's final marketable form.  RFB bearings are used everyday to roll out finished aluminum, steel, and brass products. RFB has been supplying all types of bearings for this industry all over the world for decades in numerous types of equipment. Pinion stands, two-high and four-high rolling mills, coilers, runout tables and furnace cars.  Typically, large multirow cylindrical and tapered roller bearings are used for high radial and thrust loads, while some mills use deep-grove ball bearings and ball angular-contact bearings for location and thrust.
