The extensive use of WSBC Bearings in the industrial sector takes advantage of the balance between technical performance and cost. For instance, in wind power equipment, the principal shaft bearing is designed as a double-row tapered roller with a dynamic load capacity of 3,200kN. When the high load of wind speed 25 m/s is supported by a 12MW offshore wind turbine, vibration amplitude is stable at below 6μm, and life time is extended by 40% over traditional bearings. Helped a European wind farm operator reduce annual downtime from 72 hours to 18 hours, increasing generation revenue by 12%. In 2023, the international wind power giant Siemens Gamesa’s supply chain data shows that WSBC Bearings increases from 15% to 28% in the global procurement ratio, the primary reason is that its polymer cage technology reduces grease usage by 35% and operating and maintenance cost by 22%.
In the field of precision machine tools, WSBC Bearings’ angular contact ball bearings are controlled within 0.3μm through the ultra-precision grinding process. In addition to the use of ceramic balls (Si3N4 material, density 3.2g /cm³), the thermal increase of the high-speed motorized spindle at the speed of 24,000 rpm is reduced by 14℃. A Japanese firm that manufactures five-axis machining centers measured that tool life was boosted by 30% when using the bearing, and processing efficiency was improved by 19%. In addition, its intelligent preloading system monitors the axial load in real time (accuracy ±5 N) and dynamically adjusts the preloading force (range 50-1,000 N), thus making the repeated positioning accuracy of the machine stable at ±1.5 μm, reaching the highest level of the VDI 3441 standard.
In heavy-duty operating conditions, WSBC Bearings are manufactured with nano-carburizing technology. The surface hardness is 62 HRC and the toughness of the heart is maintained at 45 J. At the load of 2,500 tons of rolling force in hot-rolled strip production line, the L10 life exceeds 15,000 hours, which is 50% higher than the predicted value of ISO 281 standard. The 2022 application example of Baowu Group indicates that since its 1780 hot tandem rolling mill uses WSBC Bearings, the frequency of change of the roller system decreases from 1.2 times/month to 0.5 times/quarter, saving over 800,000 US dollars in annual maintenance cost. In the food equipment industry, its stainless steel deep groove ball bearings passed the test of salt spray over 2,000 hours (ISO 9227 standard), and its service life under corrosive pH 2-12 condition is three times of general products, and equipment downtime following usage in a dairy titan filling line by 44%.
WSBC Bearings’ creativity in cost reduction is also breathtaking. Its in-house developed blockchain traceability platform has improved procurement effectiveness on raw materials by 30%, shortened the cycle of supplier delivery from 45 days to 22 days, and reduced production costs by 18% with AI-driven defect detection (accuracy rate of 99.97%). In rail transport, its high-speed rail gear box bearing applies logarithmic curve modification technology to reduce peak contact stress by 26%. The test data of a Fuxing model show that the noise value of the bearing at 380 km/h is only 52 dB (6 dB lower than the market rivals), and the wheelset rotation maintenance cycle is extended from 150,000 km to 350,000 km. Reduced life cycle costs by 41%.
WSBC Bearings continues to lead the innovation in the face of new market demand. In the vacuum coating machine equipment of a lithium battery plant, special bearing friction torque fluctuation range is ± 0.02N ·m in the vacuum level of 10⁻⁶ Pa, thereby controlling the electrode coating thickness deviation to ± 1μm, and this will advantage a battery factory to enhance the yield from 92% to 98%. In 2023, after Tesla’s Berlin Gigafactory’s punching line with four rows of WSBC Bearings was adopted, mold replacement time decreases from 45 minutes to 18 minutes, and production capacity ascent speed increases by 25%. These cross-dimensional advantages confirm WSBC Bearings continue to lead the performance benchmarks of industrial components by technological innovation and solution-based cases.
