About ROX in Easy English

What is ROX?

ROX is the name of a bearing.

A bearing is a part inside a machine.

A bearing helps parts of the machine move.

The ROX bearing is very strong.

We also call it a “Heavy-Metal Bearing”.

The ROX bearing is for heavy work.

For example:

  • Work in mines
  • Work in stone quarries

There is a lot of dust in these places.

There is a lot of heat.

There is a lot of shaking.

We call this shaking vibration.

The ROX bearing can handle these hard conditions.

It helps the machine keep working.

What can ROX do well?

1. It lasts a long time

The ROX bearing lasts longer than many other bearings.

It can last twice as long.

Sometimes it lasts even three times as long.

You do not need to change it often.

2. It keeps the machine running

The ROX bearing has special protection.

The protection has two metal shields.

We call these shields deflectors.

  • The shields keep out dust

Grease is a soft, oily material.

Grease helps the bearing move well.
