Manufacture of bearings, gears, gearing and driving elements

NACE v2.1 Code: C28.15

About manufacture of bearings, gears, gearing and driving elements

NACE code 28.15 covers the manufacture of bearings, gears, gearing, and driving elements, which are essential components in a wide range of industrial machinery and equipment. This industry plays a crucial role in supporting the smooth operation and efficiency of various sectors, including automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and energy production. The components produced under this NACE code are vital for transmitting power, reducing friction, and enabling the precise movement of machinery, making them indispensable in modern industrial and technological applications.

Production process

The manufacture of bearings, gears, gearing, and driving elements typically involves a range of precision engineering techniques. This includes processes such as casting, forging, machining, heat treatment, and surface finishing to ensure the components meet strict quality and performance standards. Advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technologies are often employed to optimize the design and production of these critical components.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include a variety of raw materials, such as steel, aluminum, and other metals, as well as specialized lubricants and coatings. Sophisticated machinery, including CNC (computer numerical control) machines, grinding equipment, and heat treatment furnaces, are also essential for the precise manufacturing of these components. Additionally, skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and machinists, are necessary to operate the production processes and ensure the quality and reliability of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of NACE code 28.15 are bearings, gears, gearing, and driving elements, which are then consumed by a wide range of other industries. These components are used in 28.11 Manufacture of engines and turbines, 28.12 Manufacture of fluid power equipment, 28.13 Manufacture of other pumps and compressors, 28.14 Manufacture of other taps and valves, and 29.10 Manufacture of motor vehicles among others. The reliable and efficient operation of these downstream industries is heavily dependent on the quality and performance of the bearings, gears, and driving elements produced under NACE code 28.15.
