Low consumption aspect
Optimization design: By optimizing the structural design of bearings, such as planning the raceway shape reasonably and improving the cage structure, the frictional resistance during bearing operation can be reduced, and energy loss can be minimized. For example, advanced fluid dynamics design is adopted to make the flow of lubricating oil inside the bearing smoother, further reducing friction.
Material selection: Choosing high-performance materials, such as special alloys or ceramic materials with low friction coefficients, can help reduce the energy consumption of bearings during operation. Meanwhile, choosing raw materials with good surface smoothness can reduce friction losses and lower energy consumption.
Green lubrication technology: using green lubricants such as bio based lubricants. Biobased lubricants are made from renewable resources such as vegetable oil, animal fat, etc., and have biodegradability, low toxicity, and environmental friendliness. They can maintain normal lubrication of bearings and reduce friction losses, reduce oil consumption and waste oil emissions, thereby reducing energy loss and extending the service life of bearings.
Recyclable aspect
Material recyclability: Priority should be given to using recyclable materials to manufacture bearings, such as common metal materials such as steel, copper, aluminum, etc. These materials can be recycled and reused in production after the bearings are scrapped. Some bearing manufacturers are still exploring the use of biodegradable polymer materials as components of bearings, which can naturally decompose after disposal and reduce environmental pressure.
Production process optimization: In the production process, optimizing the process reduces the generation of waste and improves resource utilization efficiency. For example, using precision molding technology to reduce material cutting and minimize waste generation. At the same time, establish a sound production waste recycling mechanism to classify, recycle, and reuse the scraps, debris, and other materials generated during the production process.
Product recycling and remanufacturing: Establish a recycling system for bearing products and encourage users to return waste bearings to production enterprises or specialized recycling institutions. Enterprises inspect, repair, and remanufacture recycled bearings to restore them to a usable state and reintroduce them into the market. For example, Baomaite (Shanghai) Intelligent Engineering Co., Ltd. focuses on green remanufacturing technology for bearings. By renovating existing bearings and implementing digital management methods, the company can extend bearing life, reduce maintenance and replacement costs of production equipment, and help reduce energy consumption in the overall production process.
