ROX – Born for the Dust.
The Heavy Metal Bearing Built for Conveyors.
Engineered for extreme mining and quarrying conditions.
More than 2x longer bearing life and lubrication reduced by more than 50%. 100% compatibility with standard premium bearings (ISO).
Performance You Can Count On
ROX bearings are engineered for one thing: maximum uptime under extreme conditions.
From dust and weather conditions to heavy loads and vibration — ROX keeps your operation running when others fail.
“Engineered to perform where dust, extreme temperature, and vibration push ordinary bearings to their limits.”
Long lifespan
More than 2x longer bearing life than standard bearings – fewer replacements, lower costs.
Reduced maintenance
Improved grease retention cutting regreasing frequence in half, resulting in fewer unplanned stops.
High protection
Patented dual metallic shields prevent the ingress of contaminants and grease leakage.
Vibration resistance
Nitrided cage treatment, improved shock and vibration resistance.
Easy to use
ISO-standard dimensions enable quick mounting without special tools. The mounting and clearance checking of the bearing are 100% identical to those of the standard bearing.
Reliability
Delivers consistent performance and extended service life for maximum uptime.
The Heavy Metal Bearing That Lasts More Than 2x Longer
Built for dirt, extreme temperature, and vibration – it keeps rocking when others fail.
- Integrated, patented dual metallic Z-deflectors (ZZ) block the ingress of dust and debris
- Lubrication reduced by more than 50%
- 100% compatibility with standard premium bearings (ISO)
Pair ROX with our innovative quick-release sleeve MagicSleeve and our Drive Booster single-point automatic lubricator for faster maintenance and longer uptime.

Proven Engineering – Trusted PerformancE
ROX is the world’s only spherical roller bearing with patented dual metallic Z-deflectors (ZZ) – designed to block the ingress of dust and debris without contact or added friction and allowing the same misalignment as the standard open version (2°). Its nitrided steel cage delivers superior shock and vibration resistance; its temperature range extends from -40 °C to +200 °C, identical to the open version.
In real quarry operations, ROX has achieved more than 2x longer bearing life, 50% less lubrication, and a measurable +2.3% production output increase, equal to over €100,000 in additional annual revenue.
Combine ROX with our innovative sleeve MagicSleeve for fast and easy dismounting without a specific tool and Drive Booster lubrication for long-term uptime and reliability.
From dust and heat to heavy shock loads — is why ROX keeps running when others fail.

“ROX doesn’t flinch. It continues performing.”
We put ROX through the worst, and it still delivers.
Rob Rox | Maintenance Manager
“ROX keeps my machines running — because time is tight.”
Less maintenance. More uptime. That’s why I trust it.
“ROX means more uptime and more output.”
Our teams change bearings half as often — that’s what productivity means.
