The world's bearing industry began in the late 19th century to the early 20th century. In 1880, the United Kingdom began to produce bearings. In 1883, Germany established the world's first bearing company (FAG George Shaver). In 1889, the United States opened the ND bearing factory (now the General Motors Bearing Company's new Diocletian Hyde Bearing Division). Other large bearing companies in Europe and the United States basically laid the foundation for today in the early 20th century. After the Japanese bearing industry was formed in Europe and the United States, SKF Sweden provided samples to Japan in 1910, making the "bearing" appear in Japan for the first time alone. Since then, Japan NSK, NTN and other bearing companies have been established in 1914 and 1918. The bearing industry in the third world countries started later, and it is in a relatively backward situation like the entire science and technology and machinery industry.
Generally speaking, the formation and development of the world bearing industry has gone through three stages:
The first phase, the initial stage of the world bearing industry, was from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. At that time, bearing inventions and applications have been around for a while, and the industrial production of bearings has grown from scratch, just starting, quite naive. The main features are:
1. The production scale is extremely small. A large factory has only a dozen to a few hundred people. The daily output is only a few sets to several hundred sets, which belongs to hand workshop production;
2, the equipment is simple, the technology is backward, mostly based on experience;
3, the material is mainly carbon steel, the precision is not high, the price is expensive;
4, very few varieties, the use is very limited. At that time, bearing production technology was only in the hands of a few companies such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, and the United States.
