The engine is the heart of the car, responsible for converting chemical energy into mechanical energy to drive the car forward. In this process, engine bearings play a vital role. They are installed in key parts such as the crankshaft and camshaft, and are subjected to harsh environments of high temperature, high pressure and high-speed rotation.
Transmission bearings are mainly used to connect the engine and the drive wheel to transmit power to the drive wheel. These bearings include gearbox bearings, universal joint bearings, etc., which need to be able to withstand large torque and vibration.
Steering bearings are used to connect the steering wheel and the wheel, allowing the driver to easily control the direction of the vehicle. These bearings are usually located in the steering column and steering gearbox, and require high precision and good followability.
Air conditioning system bearings are used to drive the air conditioning compressor to ensure the comfort of the temperature in the car. These bearings need to be able to work stably in high temperature and refrigerant environments.
Wheel hub bearings are important components connecting the wheels and the suspension system. They not only have to bear the weight of the vehicle, but also various impacts and lateral forces generated during driving. In modern cars, wheel hub bearings often integrate multiple functions, such as anti-lock braking system (ABS) sensors.
Sliding bearings are widely used in the automotive industry, for example, in automotive shock absorption systems, door hinge systems, transmission systems, braking systems, steering systems and seat adjustment systems.
