PTC help Changjiang Bearing achievements "product first"

March 24, 2009, PTC today announced that Chongqing Changjiang Bearing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to Changjiang Bearing) to choose from, including Pro / ENGINEER, WindchillPDMLink, ProjectLink and Mathcad and PTC ® Product Development System (PDS), to optimize the product development process and greatly improved bearing design and intelligent management of collaborative R & D in new product development cycles shorten at the same time improve the quality of product delivery.

Bearings are widely used machine-building industry, demanding documents and supporting basic pieces, known as the mechanical joints. Bearing structure is simple and complex, it is not only necessary to consider the R & D materials, manufacturing process and application conditions, but also involves the calculation and analysis of large-scale. Most of the current bearing industry 2DCAD traditional design method, based on the calculation of Excel, as well as the structure of pure 3D tool design and analysis, and bearing the design of a simple R & D system, so the prevalence of domestic bearings industry low R & D and innovation, product reliability and life cannot meet the technical requirements, such as the current problem, but also so that the lower production capacity, production scale effect cannot be reached.

Chongqing Changjiang Bearing Co., Ltd. was founded in 1992, after ten years of development, has built a six in the country's manufacturing base, with the annual production capacity of 1 million sets of bearings and auto parts capacity. The company's own brand “CJB” bearings are widely used in automobiles, motorcycles, construction machinery and many other industries. Changjiang Bearing has been committed to become a world-class Bearing manufacturing base, it is precisely for this reason, Changjiang Bearing an urgent need for a standardized, industry research and development characteristics of the product management system to improve efficiency and quality of product development. After a thorough study and analysis, Changjiang Bearing finally select the deployment of the PTC Product Development System.

The implementation of the PTC product development system includes an integrated 3D parametric solution Pro / ENGINEER, it provides a comprehensive structural design function; Mathcad engineering calculation software can easily cope with a large number of complex projects, the implementation of automation between the two drivers model can accurately verify the design. In addition, WindchillPDMLink and ProjectLink provide Web-based management platform for collaborative design effective drawing management, automatic update BOM and 2D drawings for the follow-up project to provide a single data source, and implementation process management, process planning and information sharing.

“Through the application of PTC's Product Development System, we set up the enterprise data sources a single product so that all R & D personnel in accordance with the same set of standards for system development work to enhance the standardization of the level of the enterprise, significantly improved the quality of project delivery.” Chongqing Changjiang Bearing Shares Cui Ltd. said, “Model-driven automation to further validate the design, greatly reducing the design error, by improving the design efficiency and quality of design, innovation and speed up the Changjiang Bearing goal to reach.”
BI Pu Beijing Innovation Technology Co., Ltd. (BPLead) Project Director beneficial Xu said: “We are much honored to have the opportunity and Chongqing Changjiang Bearing Co., Ltd. to ensure the smooth implementation of the project and the successful on-line. The gold medal as a PTC and Windchill agents preferred service provider, we will, as always, to provide customers with the localization of the most professional services and support to meet the needs of customers. “
“PTC's comprehensive Product Development System build a strong design, manufacturing processes and to effectively connect and greatly improve the efficiency of product development and shorten the development cycle of new products.” PTC Asia-Pacific vice president of channel sales John Condon said, “PTC is committed to helping Chongqing Changjiang Bearing Co., Ltd., as such customers, the use of PTC Product Development System to achieve the vision of enterprise development.”

New energy-efficient bearing lines launched

New spherical and cylindrical roller bearings have been developed that meet the stringent SKF energy-efficient performance class criteria, says Tom Johnstone, SKF Group CEO and president. "Extensive testing results verify significant friction reduction compared to SKF standard bearings," he reports.

SKF energy-efficient spherical roller bearings exhibit at least 30% less friction and corresponding reduced energy consumption, considerably lower bearing temperature, extended grease life and extended relubrication intervals, according to the company. Five sizes of open bearings are the first to be introduced for industrial ventilation fan applications as part of the total SKF energy-efficient solution for fans. Additional sizes will be offered based on customer demand.

The first SKF energy efficient cylindrical roller bearings to be introduced are of the NJ series, which are designed to handle axial loads in one direction. Compared to the current SKF standard NJ series bearing, the new SKF energy-efficient cylindrical roller bearings exhibit a friction reduction of at least 30% in axial loaded applications and have a higher dynamic load rating. These new ultra-low friction bearings are intended for a wide range of applications, initially for industrial and wind energy transmissions.

The SKF energy-efficient spherical and cylindrical roller bearings are the latest in the company's energy-efficient performance class of rolling bearings. Manufacturing will be initiated during the second quarter 2009.

In 2008, in connection with the 100-year anniversary of SKF, the company introduced the energy-efficient single row deep groove ball bearing and the energy-efficient tapered roller bearing. The ranges in these two bearing types continue to expand as customer demand is increasing.

"We will continue to develop our energy efficient range of bearings as it is fundamental to our commitment to develop integrated energy efficient solutions based on our engineering knowledge in our five platforms," Johnstone notes.
