OUR MANUFACTURING STRENGTH

Built around precision and production

HRB manufacturing connects material preparation, component production, finishing, assembly and inspection in an integrated bearing production route.

Integrated bearing manufacturing

Incoming materials, forging, CNC turning, heat treatment, grinding, superfinishing, assembly, inspection and dispatch.

Modern production base

A total factory area of 375,500 m² supports 54 production lines across eight factory buildings.

Precision processes

Control of geometry, hardness, surface condition, clearance and cleanliness connects each stage to the final specification.

Production planning

Quantity, designation, technical review and delivery requirements form the basis of each production and quotation discussion.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Precision at every stage

Eight connected stages take the bearing from material identification to protected shipment.

Material verification representative production image
01

Material verification

Incoming materials are checked, identified and linked to batch records.

QUALITY IN THE PROCESS

Manufacturing and inspection work together

Material checks, machining controls, heat-treatment evaluation, dimensional testing and final inspection link production stages to the required bearing specification.

PROJECT MANUFACTURING

Your specification starts the discussion

Submit your drawing, operating parameters and expected quantity for a technical review. Non-standard manufacturing proceeds after both parties confirm the technical agreement.

OEM, ODM and special packaging requirements are evaluated according to the project conditions.
