Policy boosts the development of bearing casting industry in China

The domestic hardware bearing foundry industry shoulders the important mission of localization of high-end equipment in China. Under the guidance of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", China's bearing foundry industry has formulated a plan for the development of the industry. Formulated guidelines for the development of the domestic mold industry with projects and exporting two carriages.

It is reported that under the drive of rail transit, medical equipment, new energy, aerospace, automotive lightweighting, and rail transit, the level of China's bearing casting industry has obviously improved. The bearing foundry industry has actively explored emerging markets while stabilizing the traditional market. Even marginal markets that were ignored in the past have also been developed.

According to relevant plans, during the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, the high-speed rail will usher in the construction peak. In 2011, the national railway plans to invest 700 billion yuan in infrastructure investment, which provides a huge market opportunity for the entire high-speed railway equipment manufacturing enterprises. According to the “2008 Mid-to-long-term Railway Network Planning Adjustment”, by 2012, China will build 42 high-speed rail passenger lines, with a total mileage of more than 13,000 kilometers. This will create new demand for 800 trains to reach 2020 The railway mileage will reach 18,000 kilometers, providing a broad market space for China's high-speed railway bearings. In the next three years, China's high-speed rail bearing market will exceed 2 billion yuan. The investigation found that as the high-speed train bearing field of high-speed rail infrastructure parts, the international giants such as Sweden SKF, Germany FAG, and Japan NTN are firmly occupying the Chinese market.

Bearings are the key components of the country's major technical equipment. At present, high-end bearings such as sedans, high-speed railways, wind power, and precision machine tool spindle bearings have always been the soft underbelly of China's bearing industry and have long depended on imports. As the development of China's bearing industry can not keep up, it has strongly promoted the import of bearings. For example, in the large-scale development of high-speed railways, the bearings for EMUs with a speed of over 200 kilometers per hour are all imported. At present, the domestic can meet only about 160 kilometers of locomotive bearings.

To strengthen the development of the hardware bearing foundry industry, government agencies actively implement policy subsidies, and the overall industry-university-research-combination industrial layout will be the only way for China to face difficulties.
