NTN Europe launches ROX: the bearing designed to reduce maintenance downtime on conveyors in quarries and mines
14 Jul,2026

ROX - BORN FOR THE DUST. ROX is the only spherical roller bearing in the world equipped with two patented metal deflectors, designed to effectively block the entry of dust and debris, while its nitrided cage reinforces resistance to impact and harsh conditions. Developed for maintenance managers, ROX significantly reduces maintenance frequency, lowers downtime costs, and limits environmental impact. With ROX, bearing life is increased by more than 2 times, lubrication is reduced by more than 50%, while remaining 100% compatible with standard premium (ISO) bearings. Designed to last, ROX operates from -40°C to +200°C and accepts up to 2° of misalignment. It is positioned as the benchmark solution for conveyor applications in dusty and extreme environments: quarries, cement plants, mines, cardboard factories... wherever continuity of service and reliability are key issues. With ROX from SNR brand, NTN Europe supports its customers over the long term, offering them innovative technologies that are increasingly robust, high-performance, and adapted to the realities of the field.
