Domestic bearing industry

China's current annual output of 2.8 billion sets of bearings has already ranked fourth in the world, but imports of various precision and high-tech bearings have increased year by year. China can currently produce nearly 40,000 foreign varieties and specifications of bearings, while the world's major bearing companies have more than 50,000 bearing specifications. Many domestic small and medium-sized bearing enterprises still rely solely on the unified product catalogue of the industry research institute, plus several external technical personnel supporting product production, and the technological innovation capability is almost zero.
SKF, the world's largest bearing company, has applied for more than 100 patents each year, while China's bearing industry has applied for less than 20 patents annually. It can be imagined that enterprises as the main body of technological innovation, without their own patents and proprietary technologies, new products with independent intellectual property rights, and lack of original innovation capabilities, can only follow their opponents and can never catch up and lead their opponents.
Faced with this grim reality, in the face of the competitive pressures that the world's major bearing companies have brought to land in China, how to enhance the ability of technological innovation and build core competitiveness is an important issue facing the bearing industry.
To increase investment in the development of high-tech enterprises in order to be invincible in the market competition, we must establish a strong sense of innovation, we must increase investment in science and technology to provide technical support for technological innovation.
The level of China's bearing industry equipment is backward, and the technical grade and product quality are not high. The transformation of the bearing industry with high-tech and advanced applicable technologies is the only way to promote the intensive growth of the bearing industry in China and improve economic efficiency. We must focus on the development of electronic information technology, advanced manufacturing technologies, and computer integration technologies to promote the upgrading of the bearing industry product structure and improve the level of technical equipment for China's bearing industrial enterprises. We will vigorously promote advanced technologies such as CAD, CAM, CAPP, PDM, and ERP, develop and adopt high-precision, high-efficiency grinding and super-automatic production lines, automatic bearing assembly lines, and precision rolling production lines for bearing rings to achieve new breakthroughs in bearing manufacturing technologies.
Development of new products to accelerate the structural adjustment of bearing products is a variety of products, large, medium and small quantities of co-existing products, is with the host's technological progress and development, so we must understand and track the development of host computer trends, understanding of foreign technology trends, and constantly adjust The structure of its own product variety, increase the intensity of technological innovation, and produce marketable products that can meet the needs of both domestic and international markets. In particular, we must develop car bearings, motorcycle bearings, metallurgical mines, petrochemical machinery bearings, silent motor bearings, etc. around the “Tenth Five-Year Plan,” and continue to increase the technological added value of products, establish domestic brands of high-quality bearings, and gradually change China’s export bearings. Low grade status.
The service company must establish the innovation system and the technological innovation must not use the term “innovation” to encapsulate the original technical work. It is necessary to break the traditional management model and ensure the innovation of the technology with an innovative system.
In order to establish a company-centered technological innovation system, solve the problems of disconnected research and production, and weak corporate technology development, the state encourages and supports large-scale enterprise groups with conditions to establish enterprise technology centers, and Luoyang Bearing Research Institute has established a ministerial-level project. Research centers, some companies in the bearing industry, have also established technology centers one after another. These centers have achieved remarkable results in improving their technological development and innovation capabilities.
However, at present, the majority of SMEs continue to rely on their own strength to establish technical centers and research institutes. This is unrealistic, and simply relying on their own strength to engage in technological development and technological innovation is difficult to meet the requirements of enterprise development. Therefore, we must give full play to the industry research institutes. The functions of the institute's technology centers, universities, and local institutes form a focused, complementary, and open bearing industry science and technology service network to open up a new path for technological innovation.
