Plain Bearings

At present, the application fields of self-lubricating bearings mainly include automobile manufacturing, construction machinery, mold manufacturing, hydraulic equipment, and other mechanical manufacturing fields. Self-lubricated bearings have unique advantages such as no refueling, wear resistance, and heat resistance. In some areas where other bearings are used, the use of self-lubricated bearings can improve the working performance of the corresponding mechanical equipment and reduce the maintenance requirements of the mechanical equipment. Therefore, self-lubricated bearings have a potential substitute space for other bearing products. According to the current production and application status, the general sliding bearing is the largest potential substitute object of the self-lubricating bearing. Self-lubricated bearing is a new product in the bearing field. China’s self-lubricated bearing industry is still in the growth stage, and the production technology and product quality of self-lubricated bearing are still improving. There is still a lot of room for expansion in the application field of products, and the industry is expected to maintain a rapid growth trend in the future. The main factors for the growth of the self-lubricating bearing industry include the natural growth of the industry, the substitution of self-lubricating bearing for other types of bearing, the expansion and extension of new application fields, and the growth of the export market. The steady growth of the downstream application market plays a key role in the natural growth of the self-lubricating bearing industry.

The operation status of self-lubricating bearing industry is affected by multiple factors such as macroeconomic environment, upstream raw materials, downstream automobile, construction machinery industry, human resource cost and market competition, etc. Therefore, the change of national macroeconomic situation and the adjustment of relevant industrial policies will affect the prosperity degree of the self-lubricating bearing industry. At present, China’s bearing industry has initially formed a specialized division of regional layout, Zhejiang province has become a small and medium-sized general bearing production province, and Jiashan, Zhejiang province self-lubricating bearing industry cluster effect is very significant. As self-lubricating bearings are the basic parts of machinery, their application fields are very broad, so there is no obvious seasonality in their production and sales.

The company’s customer distribution covers the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, India, North America, and other countries and regions, and the decentralized regional distribution reduces the operation risk caused by the fluctuation of the automobile and construction machinery market in a certain region so that the company is in a more advantageous position in the future competition.

In the auto parts industry, as the supporting supplier of auto host manufacturers, has been recognized by users around the world. The company designs and develops new products and new materials together with customers in the fields of car seat system, car door, hood, trunk hinge, gearbox, automobile shock absorber system, engine peripheral supporting system, and so on according to customers’ application data and own test data.
