Because of the high price of imported bearings, the cheap competition in the maintenance market has given birth to the development of domestic water pump bearings. This product was first developed and produced by Beijing No.3 Textile Machinery Factory because its structure is similar to the bearing type of high-speed textile machinery. Wujin Special Bearing Factory (now called "Jiangsu Rongtianle") is a bearing R&D and production factory established by the state for "water pump bearings", and later renamed as "Jiangsu Rongtianle". This enterprise seized the golden profiteering period of market bearings and gradually entered the domestic vehicle main engine supporting market. After decades of development, it has gradually established the position of the first brand of water pump bearings in China.
Of course, every product has its mid-range market and low-end market. Rongtianle's internal sales and production team gradually came out and cooperated with other manufacturers, resulting in two major water pump bearing manufacturers, Jiangsu New Cyclone and Jia Wei Bearing. Because the new cyclone only produces one kind of water pump bearing, the quality is relatively stable.
Jiangsu New Cyclone Bearing has passed the TS 16949 certification, and hired engineers and technicians from No.3 Textile Machinery Factory with the background of domestic origin of water pump bearings to participate in the research and development and mass production of water pump bearings for Chang 'an mini-cars, and gradually formed an enterprise mainly supporting the main engine, supplemented by the after-sales market. The export field is mainly high-quality markets in Europe and America.
So far, the main engine market of joint venture vehicles mainly adopts imported bearings because of its industrial protection and closure. Of course, in the field of bearings, the quality of domestic bearing products is uneven, and the genuine products are genuine. In addition, the low-end market, overseas Middle East and developing countries have low requirements for products, which makes the domestic water pump bearing market dominated by imported bearings, and a small number of domestic cars and joint venture cars adopt domestic brands.
In addition, there are some excellent water pump bearing manufacturers, such as Shanghai Xiangming and Wuxi Development. With its mature marketing network and strong financial support, people-oriented bearings have gradually emerged in the joint venture car market, surpassing Rongtianle.
