The MORGOIL Bearings division is a business unit of Siemens Industry Inc. (formerly Morgan Construction Company), designers, manufacturers and service providers of high speed rod, bar, combination mills and handling equipment for the steel and non-ferrous industries. MORGOIL is headquartered in Worcester. In 2008 100% of Morgan’s shares were acquired by the Industry Solutions (IS) division of Siemens AG 〔Siemens - Press release “Siemens VAI Strengthens Its Portfolio of Products and Services: Acquisition of rolling Mill Specialist Morgan Construction completed” April 4, 2008〕 headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, USA. == History == Morgan Construction Company has been building high production, continuous, 2-high hot mills since 1888. These mills were designed to produce wire rod, merchant bars, small angles, skelp, sheet, bar, and billets, and were in operation in practically every country where the manufacture of steel has assumed large enough proportions to warrant this type of mill. As the demands for rolled steel products developed, the speeds and loads of the mills increased, and the problem of adequate roll bearings became more and more acute. First introduced in 1932, MORGOIL bearings were welcomed by the rolling mill industry where roll neck bearing problems were hampering the development of faster and more powerful rolling mills. MORGOIL Bearings provided higher load capacities, higher speed capabilities, lower power consumption, and longer life then existing bearing choices 〔Dahlstrom,F.P., “The Morgoil Roll-Neck Bearing”, Transactions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1932 or 1933, it has the notation: IS-55-2〕 MORGOIL Bearings are totally enclosed, precision journal bearings that operate on a hydrodynamically generated film of oil. This oil film has a very high load carrying capacity, and since there is no metal-to-metal contact, wear is negligible. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「MORGOIL Bearings」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
