Global bearing industry development direction and trend

2021 - global bearing industry development direction and trend 01 - 15 compile/government Hou Jun luoyang Bearing co. , LTD. Technology center of translation from the Bearing NEWS, Bearing is the key mechanical parts in the manufacturing industry chain, it can not only reduce friction, can also support load, the transmission power and maintain localization, thus contribute to the efficient operation of equipment. About $40 billion global bearing market, is expected to reach $53 billion by 2026, a compound annual growth rate of 3. 6%. Bearing industry can be considered as a traditional industry dominated by enterprises, has high efficiency in decades. In the past few years, only a small amount of outstanding industry trends, more dynamic than before, and may in this decade has important effects on the shape of the industry. Here are bearing, emphasis of the research and development and the development direction of the future: 1. Customization in industry ( Especially in automotive and aerospace) , 'integrated bearings' trend is more and more big, the bearing components become part of the bearing itself cannot get around. Research and development of this type of bearings is to minimize the number of bearing components in final assembly products. Therefore, the use of 'integrated bearing reduces the equipment cost, increased reliability, provides a more convenient installation, and prolong the service life. Demand for 'specific application solutions is substantial growth worldwide, and greatly stimulated the interest of the clients. Bearing industry is to develop new special bearing. Bearing suppliers to provide professional custom bearing, therefore, to adapt to the agricultural machinery, the special requirements of various applications such as automotive turbochargers. 2. Life prediction & amp; Condition monitoring bearing design personnel using complex simulation software tool, in order to better the bearing design to match the actual operating conditions. Now bearing design and analysis by using computer and have reasonable certainty in engineering analysis code, can be predicted bearing performance, service life and reliability of forecasting ability more than a decade ago level need not be expensive and time consuming laboratory or field test. As people to raise the output and improve the efficiency of existing assets is put forward higher request, to know when to begin to appear problem is becoming more and more important. Unexpected equipment failures can be costly, and may cause disastrous consequences, leading to an unplanned production shutdown, expensive parts replacement and safety and environmental issues. Bearing condition monitoring dynamically monitoring of equipment parameters, helps to detect fault before a catastrophic failure occurs. Bearing original equipment manufacturers with sensing effect is constantly working to develop 'smart bearings'. The technology enables bearing through internal power supply of the sensor and data acquisition electronic devices continue to transfer its running status. 3. Material & amp; Coating even in poor working conditions, advanced materials to extend the service life of the bearing. Bearing industry currently adopted a few years ago is not readily available materials, such as: hard coating, ceramic, and the new type of special steel. These materials can greatly improve performance and efficiency. In some cases, a special bearing materials can make the heavy equipment in the case of no lubricant can still run effectively. These materials as well as the specific heat treatment conditions, geometric structure that can handle the extreme temperature and processing conditions, such as particle pollution and extreme loads. In the past few years, the improvement of the rolling element and raceway surface texture and wear-resisting coating had significantly faster. Development, for example, both wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the tungsten carbide coating on the ball is a significant development. These bearings are very suitable for the high stress, high impact and low lubrication and high temperature conditions. Emissions as global bearing industry cope with the increase of the regulatory requirements and safety standards and the friction and noise lower light products, expected to improve reliability and fluctuations in global steel prices, r&d spending seems to be leading the market of strategic decisions. In addition, most organizations continue to focus on the accurate demand forecasting, and blend in digital manufacturing, in order to obtain the global advantage. Source: the bearing industry
