2025-05-27 11:03:22

In the huge system of industrial equipment, although the bulk roller bearing is small in size, it plays a vital role. With its unique structure and excellent performance, it provides a solid guarantee for the stable operation of many mechanical equipment.


1. Performance characteristics of bulk roller bearings


Bulk roller bearings are mainly composed of inner ring, outer ring, roller and cage. Its roller is cylindrical, and its length is greater than its diameter. This design enables it to withstand large radial loads. During operation, the roller is in close contact with the inner and outer rings, and rolling friction replaces sliding friction, which greatly reduces the friction coefficient, reduces energy loss, and improves mechanical transmission efficiency. At the same time, it also has high rotation accuracy, can maintain stability under high-speed operation conditions, reduce vibration and noise, and extend the service life of the equipment. In addition, the bulk roller bearing also has good adaptability and can work stably under different temperature, humidity and load conditions. Whether it is severe cold or heat, or high humidity and high corrosion environment, it can stick to its post.


2. Bulk roller bearing market analysis


Bulk roller bearing market size and growth trend


In recent years, the global roller bearing market size has shown a steady growth trend. In 2019, the global roller bearing market size reached 146.4 billion yuan, and it is expected to reach 176.8 billion yuan in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 2.7%. In China, with the continuous development and transformation and upgrading of industry, the market demand for roller bearings is also growing. In 2023, the market size of cylindrical roller bearings in China has reached 24.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.7%, of which the three major application areas of automobile manufacturing, construction machinery, and wind power equipment accounted for more than 65%.
