Chairman Xi Jinping inspected Luoyang's bearing industry cluster on May 19, emphasizing the strategic importance of core components in advanced manufacturing. At Luoyang Bearing Group Corporation (LYC), he examined cutting-edge products including ultra-thin bearings developed by Luoyang New Bee Transmission Technology Co., Ltd.
1. National Strategy in Action
Chairman Xi stressed: "Bearings are the 'joints' of industry. Mastering these core technologies is crucial for China's manufacturing independence." This vision has propelled breakthroughs like New Bee's thin-walled bearings (0.5-3mm thickness) featuring:
Radial runout ≤0.002mm (aviation-grade)
40% higher speed limits (ceramic cage technology)
50,000+ hours lifespan (NASA-certified)
2. Cutting-Edge Applications
New Bee's innovations demonstrate China's industrial upgrading:
Aviation: -60℃ resistant bearings for airborne pods (100% import substitution)
Medical: 0.001 friction coefficient bearings for surgical robots
Semiconductors: Class 1 cleanroom bearings for wafer handling arms
3. The "Luoyang Model"
The ecosystem combines:
Joint labs with CAS (Chinese Academy of Sciences)
Specialized talent programs with Henan University of Science and Technology
Smart factories reducing defect rates to 0.5‰
Chairman Xi concluded: "High-end, intelligent manufacturing will anchor China's modernization." Luoyang's bearing cluster, from LYC to New Bee, exemplifies this transformation from industrial scale to technological leadership.
