World Cement,
In today’s fast-paced environments, consistent up time is no longer a bonus. Being operational in harsh environments with heavy loads and demanding schedules leaves no room for unreliable components. That’s why Regal Rexnord delivers a complete portfolio of powertrain solutions with your operation in mind. Our products are engineered to keep you moving forward with less downtime and more productivity as a core focus.
From bearings and couplings to chain and gear drives, we at Regal Rexnord offer a unified solution backed by decades of field-proven performance and technical expertise. Whether you’re an owner, operator, or maintenance professional, our products are designed to simplify installation, extend your overall equipment life, and reduce the total cost of ownership among other benefits.
Rex Shurlok™ 6000 Series Bearings
With each minute of downtime impacting production, installation time becomes paramount. The Rex Shurlok™ 6000 Series bearings are engineered for fast and reliable mounting procedures with features that help reduce vibration and required maintenance.
The Rex Shurlok 6000 Series Bearings feature:
- 25% greater shaft grip (on 2-7/16 shaft size) that minimises vibration and enhances stability.
- A quick release feature which allows for easy removal and re-use of the tapered adapter assembly.
- A Positive Locking System that helps ensure tight shaft mounting, eliminating the need for follow-up inspections.
These design advantages translate into faster installations, longer service life, and fewer maintenance headaches – making Shurlok a smart choice for cement operations.
Couplings are often overlooked until they are the root cause of failure. Rexnord Omega elastomeric couplings stand out as a true benchmark within the industry.
Our Omega couplings come packed with features like:
- Multiple material options and element configurations to ensure that you get the right coupling for your demanding application.
- Split-in-half tire design which simplifies installation and accommodates a wide range of shaft gaps.
- Up to six times longer life on reverse torque, high-cycle fatigue testing than competitors.
With over 40 years of proven performance in the field, Omega couplings are widely trusted across some of the harshest environments possible and valued in cement applications where reliability is non-negotiable.
Within the cement industry, bucket elevators are critical to an operations success making safety and speed of chain assembly necessary. The RexPro Engineered Steel Chain is designed to make installation safer, faster, and easier without compromising the strength and efficiency that operators require.
This RexPro Chain:
- Installs with a simple impact driver, eliminating the need for heavy pin pushers.
- Cuts installation time by up to 50%, reducing the exposure to hazardous environments.
- Has heat-treated and shot-peened components to deliver maximum strength and extended fatigue life.
RexPro’s field connection design also ensures a factory-quality fit for every link, helping your cement plant operate with greater confidence where it’s needed most. RexPro is the smart choice for any operation looking for safer, more efficient bucket elevator performance.
Falk Quadrive™ Shaft Mount Drives
Gear drives play a pivotal role in cement conveying applications, with long-term durability and avoiding unplanned downtime being key considerations on anyone’s mind. The Falk Quadrive™ stands out with a design engineered to simplify installation and extend operational life. Unlike dual bolted bushings that are time-consuming and prone to loosening, Quadrive’s inboard threaded bushing system enables quick, bolt-free mounting even when fully outfitted ensuring faster, more secure installation.
The Falk Quadrive delivers on both fronts with features that help extend uptime and operational life with:
- Falk-engineered tapered bushing design for easy-on, easy-off mounting, saving time and labour during routine installation. The torque-assist (TA) bushing ensures lifetime guaranteed removal, preventing fretting, and eliminating the need for costly shaft replacements.
- Double grease seals on both input and output shafts to maintain oil quality and block contaminants – preventing leaks that can lead to premature failure and costly downtime.
- Higher torque ratings across comparable frame sizes, allowing users to downsize the reducer without sacrificing performance.
With Quadrive units in stock and ready to ship, Regal Rexnord ensures you get what you need, when you need it to keep your operation successful.
By partnering with Regal Rexnord, you are getting more than just a manufacturer on your side. Our integrated portfolio and deep application expertise allows us to deliver solutions that meet the strenuous demands of your operation. From installation to performance, we are here to help you maximise uptime and minimise maintenance every step of the way.
Less downtime. More uptime. Regal Rexnord keeps your operations moving.
