Printing Machinery

High-precision and wear-free bearing support for print rollers has everything to do with producing high-resolution printed images. For decades, Premier Bearings have been specializing in all applications in this segment with its Schaeffler manufactured products and is therefore the global distributor of printing machines by Schaeffler. Thanks to its extraordinary application know-how, Premier has repeatedly achieved cost savings paired with improved performance, often in the very same product – for example, track rollers with the Triondur coating system that are used in sheet-fed offset printing machines to greatly increase functional reliability and operating life.

Applications

Systematic bearing solutions

For decades, Premier Bearing has been specializing in all printing machine applications with its Schaeffler manufactured products. It has long been the case that potential for optimization no longer solely rests with continuously improving individual components: Maximum, reliable printing quality at minimum costs is not possible until all of the printing machine’s subsystems have been fine-tuned to perfection. Understanding the complete system is becoming more and more important for meeting the constantly increasing demands for performance and cost effectiveness.

Whether for non-locating bearings, locating bearings, track rollers, oscillating bearings, or the entire linear technology range, whether for standard bearings or a customer-specific solution – the principle of “systematic solutions” applies for all of these Schaeffler manufactured products supplied by Premier.

  • Classic printing cylinder bearing arrangement (needle roller bearings, cylindrical roller bearings)
  • Modern printing cylinder bearing arrangement (triple ring bearings)
  • Gripper shaft control
  • Ink distributor drive
  • Printing machine drive
