Application of New Materials
With the continuous progress of materials science, the application of new materials in bearing manufacturing is becoming increasingly widespread. For example, ceramic materials, due to their excellent properties such as high strength, high hardness, low density, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance, are being increasingly used in the manufacture of high - end bearings. Ceramic bearings can exhibit better performance and longer service life under extreme working conditions such as high speed, high temperature, and high load, greatly improving the operating efficiency and reliability of mechanical equipment. In addition, some new alloy materials and composite materials are also being continuously developed and applied, providing more possibilities for the performance improvement of bearings.
Improvement of Manufacturing Processes
Advanced manufacturing processes are the key to improving the quality and performance of bearings. Driven by precision manufacturing technologies, the machining accuracy of bearings is constantly increasing, and dimensional tolerances and rotational accuracy can reach higher standards. For example, by adopting ultra - precision grinding, lapping and other processes, the surface roughness of bearings can be reduced, the friction coefficient can be decreased, and the rotational stability and service life of bearings can be improved. At the same time, the application of digital manufacturing technology has also brought changes to bearing production. Through digital design, simulation and automated production, precise control and optimization of the production process can be achieved, production efficiency can be improved, production costs can be reduced, and the needs of personalized customization can be better met.
