Summary: Bearings, Humanoid Robots   As Tesla's Optimus strides gracefully, Boston Dynamics' Atlas performs complex flips, and domestic tech companies unveil prototype humanoid robots, the world is witnessing a "steel revolution." Amid this transformative change, bearings—an apparently traditional yet crucial component—are quietly becoming the key determinant of humanoid robot performance. I. The "Lifeline" of Humanoid Robot Joints: Three Core Missions of Bearings In highly biomimetic structures, bearings act as precisely operating "artificial joints," undertaking three critical missions: Foundation of Dynamic Support Over 40 joints including shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, and knees must withstand more than 2000 high-frequency movements per minute. Precision bearings, such as those produced by Beining Intelligent Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd., through multi-layer raceway designs and special heat treatments, enable stable support and load-bearing tasks. MIT lab data from 2023 shows that robotic arms using silicon nitride ceramic bearings have a lifespan 300% longer than traditional bearings. Catalyst for Flexible Movement The golden combination of harmonic reducers and crossed roller bearings achieves motion precision up to 0.01 arc seconds. Xiaomi's CyberOne uses a customized thin-wall bearing solution from Beining Intelligent Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. to increase waist rotation degrees of freedom to five, achieving human-like flexibility. Hub for Energy Transmission Miniature linear bearings in bionic muscle systems convert motor torque into precise linear displacement. Tesla's Optimus finger joints use micro bearings with diameters of just 3mm from Beining Intelligent Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd., paired with intelligent damping systems, enabling delicate actions like holding an egg or manipulating tools. II. A Trillion-Dollar Market Driving Technological Revolution: Four Innovation Directions in the Bearing Industry The International Federation of Robotics predicts that the global humanoid robot market will exceed 1.9 trillion yuan by 2030. As a core component requiring over 200 units per machine, the precision bearing market is set for explosive growth. Industrial upgrades are showing four trends: Material Revolution Creates New Species Graphene-coated bearings from Beining Intelligent Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. have been commercially implemented on Unitree's H1 robot, reducing friction coefficients to 0.001. Silicon nitride full-ceramic bearings reduce joint module weight by 30%, becoming standard in space exploration robots. Intelligent Sensing Empowers Evolution Smart bearings integrated with strain sensors from Beining Intelligent Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. can monitor six-dimensional force/torque data in real-time. Boston Dynamics' latest patents reveal MEMS chips within bearings can predict imbalance risks 300 milliseconds ahead of time. Miniaturization Breaks Physiological Limits Domestic micro-bearing manufacturers like Beining Intelligent Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. have achieved breakthroughs in 0.5mm diameter processing technology, supporting micro-transmission systems for eye movements and facial expressions, enhancing robot emotional expression accuracy tenfold. Self-Repair Technology Extends Lifespan Bearings using microcapsule self-repair lubricants from Beining Intelligent Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. underwent zero-wear tests after 3 million cycles at a Shenzhen laboratory, significantly reducing maintenance costs. III. The Future is Here: Strategic Opportunities for Bearing Companies With every 1% increase in humanoid robot penetration adding 2 billion yuan in new bearing demand, leading companies like Beining Intelligent Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. are building three-dimensional competitive barriers: Scenario Customization: Developing specialized bearing solutions for walking, grasping, balancing, and other scenarios. Process Breakthroughs: New processes such as vacuum quenching and magnetron sputtering push bearing precision to sub-micron levels. Ecosystem Building: Joint R&D with reducer manufacturers and AI algorithm companies to develop "perception-decision-execution" integrated bearing modules. As humanoid robots grow at an annual rate of 60%, entering homes, factories, healthcare settings, and more, this "mechanical awakening" movement supported by precision bearings is reshaping manufacturing landscapes. Companies that strategically position themselves in materials science, smart integration, and precision manufacturing will be the "creative hands" empowering robot evolution in this trillion-yuan industrial revolution. At Beining Intelligent Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd., we offer a comprehensive range of bearings specifically designed for robotics, including the 617, 618, 619, and 1600 series deep groove ball bearings, crossed roller bearings for harmonic reducers, high-speed cylindrical roller bearings, and precision miniature angular contact ball bearings for robotic finger joints. Our products ensure superior performance, reliability, and longevity, making us the ideal partner for your next-generation robotic applications. Seizing the historical window of opportunity presented by the rise of humanoid robots means securing the pinnacle of advanced manufacturing for the next two decades. Partner with Beining Intelligent Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd. today to experience the future of robotics.

Source: JRJ.com According to information from the National Intellectual Property Administration, Guangdong Midea Cooling Equipment Co., Ltd., and Midea Group Co., Ltd. have been granted an important patent titled "External Rotor Motor, Fan Component, and Air Conditioner" (Publication No. CN 222531435 U). The patent application was filed in February 2024. This innovative design involves a novel external rotor motor structure, including a stator assembly, a rotor assembly, and support components. The stator assembly consists of a stator with a central hole; the rotor assembly comprises a rotor rotating around the exterior of the stator and a shaft passing through the central hole and engaging with it. The rotor is divided into a ring section and an end cover section, with the former encircling the stator and the latter located on one side of the stator and connected to the shaft. Support components are arranged between the end cover and the stator, which can be either a first support fixed to the end cover or a second support mounted on the stator. This unique arrangement helps precisely control the gap between the rotor and the stator, effectively reducing the risk of bearing damage. The newly introduced external rotor motor design by Midea not only demonstrates its strong capabilities in the field of technology research and development but also provides new solutions for enhancing the reliability and performance of air conditioners and other related products. By optimizing the internal structure of the motor, this design significantly reduces failures caused by bearing issues, improving the overall system stability and durability.

Source: NSK Nippon Seiko Kabushiki Kaisha (NSK) has launched a revolutionary "High Reliability Spherical Roller Bearing for Wind Turbine Main Shafts," integrating three advanced technologies: "Super-TF" material, DLC coating, and a new high-load capacity cage (ECA type). This is the first time NSK has combined all three in one product. Typically, spherical roller bearings in wind turbine main shafts fail due to raceway wear. NSK’s new bearing reduces this wear to less than one-tenth of standard products, significantly extending lifespan and reducing maintenance needs and downtime. This enhances the operational stability of wind power equipment. The first two technologies have already received positive market feedback. In June 2024, NSK introduced the third technology and secured an order from a North American wind power company. NSK now has a comprehensive sales system supporting these integrated products. Looking forward, NSK plans to combine this new bearing with condition monitoring solutions to offer more efficient technical services. According to NSK’s "MTP 2026 Mid-term Management Plan," the company aims to increase its aftermarket business sales by 25 billion yen compared to 2021 levels. Key features: Super-TF Material: Enhances surface hardness through fine carbide distribution. DLC Coating: Improves roller surface abrasion resistance. ECA-Type Cage: Optimizes internal structure, increasing roller size and quantity for better load capacity and wear resistance. These enhancements boost durability and reliability, especially under harsh conditions, and help prevent early damage. For wind turbines located in remote or offshore areas, where component replacement is costly and time-consuming, this product significantly reduces maintenance costs and extends equipment uptime.
