New sliding bearings from TaiZhong are exported to overseas

On December 3, good news came from Taizhong Group - the "hollow" sliding bearings manufactured by Taizhong for the first time were successfully shipped overseas. This is the first application of Taizhong bearings in metallurgical couplings, marking an important breakthrough in Taizhong bearing products to expand sales areas and seize high-end markets.

Taizhong has extremely rich experience in bearing manufacturing, but the sliding bearings contracted this time are really extraordinary. This overseas customer has put forward higher requirements in terms of special shapes, thin walls, and high customization. This bearing can be called a delicately "carved" work of art. Due to the special application scenarios of this sliding bearing, it has strict requirements in terms of reducing weight and improving heat dissipation efficiency. Various hollow and slotted designs are required to meet user needs, which puts extremely high requirements on dimensional accuracy. Any slight deviation may lead to a decrease in bearing stability. Taizhong's craftsmen designed special tooling based on the geometric shape, material properties and processing requirements of the bearings, and cooperated with high-precision CNC equipment to ensure that the bearings are exquisite and shiny and full of artistic sense.

For this type of bearing, the user has a special requirement, that is, the entire bearing is designed as a split structure, that is, it is installed in the form of two semicircles during installation, and then combined into a whole after installation. How to ensure that the split structure is easy to install and disassemble while ensuring that the dimensional accuracy of the combined bearing is not affected is extremely difficult. The process personnel changed their thinking and boldly verified that by improving the processing method of the connecting plate, they cleverly developed a new processing plan, which can effectively ensure that the bearing is tightly fitted when combined.

The thinnest part of the entire bearing shell is only 3 mm, which means that it is very easy to deform during the processing. The technicians optimized the product structure, insisted on concentrating the process as much as possible, reducing the number of processes, optimizing the tool geometry, etc., and finally adopted an integrated processing solution to minimize the generation of stress and solve the problem of product deformation.
