Manufacture of bearings, gears, gearing and driving elements

NACE v2.0 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 operations of various sectors, including automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and energy production. The components produced under this NACE code are vital for the smooth and efficient functioning of machinery, ensuring reliability, power transmission, and overall system performance.

Production process

The production of bearings, gears, and driving elements typically involves a combination of precision machining, heat treatment, and assembly processes. Manufacturers use advanced techniques such as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining, gear hobbing, and gear grinding to shape and finish the components to tight tolerances. Heat treatment processes, such as carburizing, quenching, and tempering, are often employed to enhance the strength, durability, and wear resistance of the parts.

Production inputs

The key inputs for this industry include a variety of raw materials, such as steel, alloy metals, and specialized plastics or composites. Manufacturers also rely on specialized machinery, including lathes, milling machines, and gear cutting equipment, as well as precision measuring tools and quality control systems to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are bearings, gears, gearing, and driving elements, which are then consumed by a wide range of other industries. These components are essential for 28.11 Manufacture of engines and turbines, 28.22 Manufacture of lifting and handling equipment, 29.10 Manufacture of motor vehicles, and 30.30 Manufacture of air and spacecraft and related machinery, among others. The efficient and reliable performance of these downstream industries is heavily dependent on the quality and precision of the bearings, gears, and driving elements produced under NACE code 28.15.
