Bearings; spherical roller bearings

HS v2022 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 enabling 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 supporting heavy loads and facilitating the rotation of shafts, gears, and other moving parts in a diverse array of applications.

Production process

Spherical roller bearings are manufactured through a multi-step process that involves precision engineering and advanced materials. The production typically begins with the fabrication of the bearing's inner and outer rings, which are made from high-quality steel alloys. These rings are then subjected to heat treatment and grinding processes to ensure their dimensional accuracy and surface finish. The rolling elements, or rollers, are also carefully produced and assembled within the bearing's housing, allowing for smooth and controlled rotation.

Production inputs

The production of spherical roller bearings requires a range of specialized inputs, including high-grade steel, lubricants, and advanced manufacturing equipment. The steel used in the bearing's rings and rollers must meet stringent quality standards to withstand the high loads and stresses encountered in industrial applications. Additionally, the bearings require precise machining and assembly, which necessitates the use of specialized machinery and skilled labor.

Production outputs

Spherical roller bearings produced under HS code 848230 are widely used in a variety of industrial equipment and machinery, such as 848210 Bearings; ball bearings, 848220 Bearings; tapered roller bearings, and 848240 Bearings; needle roller bearings. These bearings are essential components in applications ranging from heavy-duty industrial machinery, such as mining equipment and wind turbines, to automotive and aerospace components, ensuring smooth and reliable operation.
