Bearings; spherical roller bearings

HS v2017 Code: 848230

About bearings; spherical roller bearings

hs code 848230 covers spherical roller bearings, a critical component in a wide range of industrial machinery and equipment. These bearings play a vital role in ensuring smooth, efficient, and reliable operation across sectors such as manufacturing, transportation, and energy production. As a key part of the broader bearings industry, spherical roller bearings are essential for enabling the smooth and controlled movement of rotating shafts, gears, and other components, contributing to the overall performance and longevity of industrial systems.

Production process

Spherical roller bearings are typically manufactured through a multi-step process. This involves precision machining of the inner and outer rings, as well as the rolling elements, to tight tolerances. The rings are then heat-treated to enhance their strength and durability. The rolling elements, such as rollers, are also carefully shaped and finished to ensure smooth and consistent rotation. Finally, the bearing components are assembled, lubricated, and tested to ensure they meet rigorous quality standards before being distributed for use in various industrial applications.

Production inputs

The production of spherical roller bearings requires a range of specialized raw materials, machinery, and other resources. Key inputs include high-quality steel alloys for the bearing rings and rolling elements, as well as specialized lubricants and seals to ensure proper function and longevity. Manufacturers also rely on precision machining equipment, heat-treatment facilities, and advanced quality control systems to ensure the consistent production of reliable bearings.

Production outputs

Spherical roller bearings produced under hs code 848230 are used in a wide variety of industrial applications, including 848210 Bearings; ball bearings, 848220 Bearings; tapered roller bearings, and 848240 Bearings; needle roller bearings. These bearings are essential components in machinery such as gearboxes, compressors, turbines, and heavy-duty industrial equipment, contributing to their efficient and reliable operation.
