C&U attended bearing forumTime of publication:2021-03-08

On March 4th, the "2021 Second Automotive Bearing System Innovation Technology Forum" was held in Shanghai. Nearly 200 representatives from automobile main engine companies and spare parts from all over the country gathered together to explore and exchange the current situation and future of Chinas automotive bearings. C&U was invited to attend this forum and delivered a keynote speech.

This forum mainly focuses on the requirements of new energy vehicle development for hub bearings, the design of lightweight hub bearings, the development and the actual effects of low-torque hub bearings, low-torque grease, low-torque seals, application cases in lightweight and low-torque. Nearly 200 industry representatives from new energy vehicles, mainstream OEMs, well-known gear and bearing companies in the industry chain and upstream suppliers participated enthusiastically. In-depth interactive exchanges were set up during the same period to realize seamless communication between users and suppliers. Many senior experts from FAW Hongqi, Pan Asia, SAIC Volkswagen, BYD, Geely, NSK, JTEKT, Timken and other companies shared their experiences on-site, discussed the current hot topics such as automotive bearings and seals that the industry is concerned about.  Xianhe Dai, C&U senior engineer, shared the development trend of new energy vehicles, bearing application research, and supporting application cases, which was highly recognized by on-site automotive host customers.

With the countrys further deepening of energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection, new energy electric vehicles are the future development direction. With the support and encouragement of the state, key components such as automotive bearings will surely accelerate the localization process. In this context, C&U took the lead in successfully developing a series of special bearings dedicated to new energy vehicles to meet the localization of new energy vehicles and future development needs. At present, the new energy vehicle drive motor bearings developed by C&U have reached the international advanced level in terms of high-speed performance, temperature rise, grease leakage, fatigue life and other tests, and have received batch orders from domestic OEMs. At the same time, the product has been jointly developed with internationally renowned OEMs and successfully matched, especially in the high-speed performance design and test technology to achieve original innovation, filling the domestic technological gap.
