"By the end of 2022, the total regional GDP of the bearing industry cluster will be in the forefront of the same industry in China. It will cultivate one enterprise group with an annual sales volume of more than 2.5 billion yuan and 2-3 medium-sized enterprises, establish a public service platform for bearing industry innovation, and build more than 40 digital workshops and intelligent factories..."
In the provincial pilot implementation plan for the transformation and upgrading of bearing manufacturing industry (2018-2022), Xinchang, as the "hometown of bearings in China", has opened a new round of "spring" in the industry.
Bearing and Xinchang have a lot to do with each other.
In the 1960s, Xinchang was determined to manufacture its own bearings due to the problems caused by the failure of a water pump bearing. In 1969, Zhejiang provincial automobile assembly became an opportunity, and 12 young Xinchang people took over a batch of bearing production orders. Since then, Xinchang bearing manufacturing started.
Wu Shouming was one of the 12 people at that time. Now he is the chairman of Zhejiang ximike Bearing Co., Ltd. recalling the initial development of Xinchang bearing, Wu Shouming sighed: "at that time, the conditions were very difficult, but we were not afraid. The spirit of hard work is a vivid portrayal of the development of Xinchang in the past 70 years."
Reform and opening up, Xinchang bearing ushered in the dawn. Through the way of "horizontal joint and diffusion processing", Xinchang Bearing General Factory has opened more than 20 branches, scattered all over the country. Bearing factory has become the "Huangpu Military Academy" of Xinchang bearing industry. Now, half of the founders of Xinchang bearing enterprises come from there. In the 1980s, Xinchang pioneered a new technology of turning bearing rings with small trolley, which reduced the production cost of bearing rings to the lowest in the world, and began to go to the global market.
Opening up brings fierce market competition. Xinchang bearing anchor quality is critical, and it has made great progress in the global market. In order to reduce the noise decibels, Xinchang bearing invited experts; in order to improve the accuracy, Xinchang bearing creatively cooperated with Shanghai Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University and other universities; in
In the new century, Xinchang set off the small trolley revolution and replaced the trolley with automatic turning production line. Xinchang has become a global purchasing base for bearing rings, selling billions of rings a year. With the economic development entering the new normal, Xinchang bearing is also facing new problems such as no longer cost advantage and fierce low-end competition. Upgrading and increasing added value become its breakthrough. Wuzhou new year, which is quite representative, now aims at high-speed rail, aviation and other "high-end" bearings, speeding up the road to high-end.






In 2017, a bearing revolution rose in Xinchang. Xinchang comprehensively launched the "100 enterprises promotion action" of Intelligent Manufacturing in the bearing industry, explored the "Xinchang mode", built the "bearing cloud" industrial Internet platform, and embarked on a high-quality transformation and development road from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing".






At present, SKF ball bearing Xinchang production base and R & D center are accelerating in dashiju block of Xinchang economic development zone. After completion, it is estimated that the annual production capacity will exceed 90 million sets and the annual sales volume will exceed 1 billion yuan, which will dominate the future world discourse power of the bea
