The main purposes of bearing ring forging processing are: 1. To obtain the semi-finished ring which is similar with the bearing, so as to enhance the efficient of metal material and reduce the mechanical machining work, and at last to save the cost of production. 2. To eliminate the inner defect of metal, improve metal organized system, so as to make the metal be with proper streamline distribution and with good compactness, and at last to enhance the life span of bearings. Forging Hot Forging —— metal is heated to be above the crystallization temperature widely used. Cold Forging —— metal is forged in the room temperature barely used. Warm Forging —— metal is forged in the temperature between hot forging and cold forging in test period.

To make the bearing ring and roller be the same shape with the finished products. 2. To create good condition for the coming grinding processing. Turning Integrated Processing: to finish all the turning procedure in one machine --- suitable for small quantity production. Distributed Processing: to finish only one turning procedure in one machine --- suitable for large quantity production.

To make the bearing ring and roller be in accordance with the design requirements in size and shape precision. 2. To prepare qualified rings and rollers for bearing assembly. Grinding Normally, it’s processed by distributed procedure; or the machines can be connected to integrate into a production line by material loading and unloading equipments so as to enhance the production efficient.
