Top 10 Bearing Manufacturer in the World

Bearing is an important part of modern mechanical equipment. Its main function is to support the mechanical rotating body, reduce its friction coefficient and ensure its rotation accuracy. Bearings are used in all aspects of human activities, from small bicycles, motorcycles, to high load bearing of heavy equipment, or steel plants, cement equipment, trains with high safety factor, or aerospace bearings with high precision, high speed and long life, etc. all the industry applications have different requirements for bearings.

The bearing industry represents the level of manufacturing industry. At present, there are many bearing manufacturers in the world. Most of the high-end bearing manufacturers are in Europe, Japan, the United States, China and other countries and regions. Their enterprises maintain the status of major global bearing suppliers, and their regional priorities in the global market are different.
