BEARING TEMPERATURE REDUCTION THROUGH BUSHING MODIFICATION

A novel bushing (300) is disclosed as used in a bearing in a rolling mill, where a feature of length l is introduced on the inboard portion (301) of an outer surface (303) of the bushing (300), where the introduced feature allows the bushing (300) to deflect as load increases at a maximum radial deflection of mm. The introduced feature deals with elevated temperatures on the inboard side of the bushing (300) by allowing the bushing to deflect as the load increases.
