With its technological advantage, WSBC Bearings is a market leader in many precision sectors. Its 12 MW wind power turbine used in offshore (static load capacity 4,200 kN) employs a nano-carburizing heat treatment process, a surface hardness of 62 HRC, and vibration acceleration is constant at 1.8m /s² when the wind speed is 30 m/s, with a service life 50% longer than those of other common bearings, according to Siemens Gamesar 2023 statistics. The average power generation per year of the wind field with WSBC Bearings is elevated by 14%, while the operation and maintenance cost is reduced by 28%. And in the aerospace, when the DN value (shaft diameter × speed) of WSBC Bearings is more than 3.5×10⁶ mm·rpm, the friction coefficient is only 0.002, therefore the thrust-weight ratio of a particular turbofan engine increases by 11%. The overhaul cycle after service for Boeing’s 787 fleet is now increased to 20,000 hours from 12,000 hours.
High-speed rail is another critical situation. Through logarithmic raceway modification technology, WSBC Bearings’ high-speed rail gear box bearings (CRB series) reduce the maximum contact stress by 30%. The noise value at a speed of 380 km/h is only 49 dB (that of the competitive product is 58 dB). The real practice from a particular Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway model shows that the wheelset rotation maintenance cycle is extended from 150,000 km to 350,000 km. Saved 41% of life cycle cost. In healthcare CT scanners, the axial runout of its magnetic suspension bearing system (rotation speed 90,000 rpm) is less than 0.5μm, and with active vibration control algorithm, the scan resolution is increased to 0.2mm, Johnson & Johnson Medical in 2022 reported that the number of patients scanned by the equipment daily increased from 120 to 160 patients, and the failure shutdown rate decreased by 73%.
Semiconductor manufacturing relies on the ultimate precision of WSBC Bearing. The VAC series special bearing controls thermal deformation at 0.015μm/m·℃ under a 10⁻⁷ Pa vacuum, the deviation of wafer coating thickness < ± 0.8μm, and the chip yield increases from 91% to 97% after using ASML extreme ultraviolet lithography. In lithium electrode plate scuttling machine, oil-gas lubricated angular contact bearings (DN value 2.8×10⁶) supplied by WSBC Bearings help achieve cutting speed to 120 m/min and burr height to less than 3 μm. The results of measuring Ningde era show that 4680 battery pole plate productivity is increased by 22% and more than 120 million yuan cost-saving can be achieved per year.
It also benefits heavy industry. WSBC Bearings rolling mill Bearings (dynamic load 7,500kN) are gradient material design. Under the rolling force of 2,800 tons when hot rolled strip steel production line is endured, the L10 life reaches 18,000 hours. With the commissioning of Baowu Group 1780 hot continuous rolling mill, the frequency of replacement of roll system reduces from 1.5 times a month to 0.6 times a quarter. 9 million yuan annual maintenance cost savings. In food packaging machine, its stainless steel deep groove ball bearings passed 2,000 hours salt spray test (ISO 9227 standard), and the life of corrosion resistance is four times longer than general products, the downtime of a dairy company’s filling line has saved 58%, and the return on production capacity is up 19%.
Continuous innovations have been achieved in the application of emerging technologies. MEMS sensors are integrated into WSBC Bearings’ intelligent preloaded bearings (iTight series). Real-time adjustment is made to axial load at the collaborative robot’s joint (accuracy ± 3N). Repetitive positioning accuracy is obtained up to ± 0.008mm. With adoption of UR20 machine, assembly cycle lowered to 0.7 seconds. Yield increased to 99.5%. At the research station on Antarctica, its low-temperature capable grease (-60℃ initial torque 0.1 N·m) ensures the snowmobile can run 5,000 hours without issues, and the equipment rate of availability has been elevated from 78% to 98%. These numbers confirm the basic rationale of WSBC Bearings in refurbishing high-end machines with “technical cross-border × scene adaptation”.
