PREFACE
The Engineering curriculum is designed in such a way that student can grasp
maximum knowledge and can get practical exposure to the corporate world in
minimum possible time. Engineering schools of today realize the importance of
practical knowledge over the theoretical base. The research report is necessary
for the partial fulfilment of engineering curriculum and it provides an opportunity
to the researcher in understanding the industry with special emphasis on the
development of skills in analysing and interpreting practical problems through
the application of engineering theories and techniques. It is a new platform
of learning through practical experience. It gives the learner an opportunity to
relate the theory with the practice, to test the validity and applicability of his
classroom learning against real life engineering situations.
Working under this project I have gained the knowledge about whole bearing
industry. Here I have learnt about the use of bearing in different sectors and I
have also gained knowledge about the application of No. of bearings in a single
vehicle and how a supply chain management plays a vital Role in the success of
the economy and various other industries.

Introduction & Company Profile
INTRODUCTION
The current size of the global bearings industry stands at whopping `3 trillion, as per data
released by Industry experts. With the Indian economy undergoing rapid industrialization, the
industry has doubled in the last five years and has registered annual gains well above the global
average of ~35%. With increased infrastructure and industrialization, at least, this trend should
continue for next five years. India is among the fastest growing markets for bearings. Close to
40% of the total demand is fulfilled through imports with the balance being met by indigenous
products. As the Indian infrastructure develops and the industry modernizes, we can see
tremendous opportunities opening up for the bearings industry. In the near future, customers
will look for better and cleaner technologies, hence necessitating aftermarket services including
maintenance of equipment, reliability monitoring, remanufacturing so as to keep their
equipment running efficiently and for long. Moreover, the Indian economy which is driven
largely by the domestic demand was not only spared of the worst of the downturn but also very
well placed to make the most of the upturn. As the government increases its thrust on the
infrastructure build, the economic growth will accelerate.

Bearings & Bearings Industry
History & Evolution of Bearing
An early type of linear bearing uses tree trunks laid down under sleds. This technology may
date as far back as the construction of the Pyramids of Giza, though there is no definitive
evidence. Modern linear bearings use a similar principle, sometimes with ball sin place of
rollers.
Tapered steering head bearings for a motorcycle. The first plain and rolling-element bearings
were wood, but ceramic, sapphire, or glass were also used, and steel, bronze, other metals,
ceramics, and plastic (e.g., nylon, polyoxymethylene, Teflon, and UHMWPE) are all common
today. A pocket watch uses stones to reduce friction, and allow more precise timekeeping. Even
old materials can have good durability. As examples, wood bearings can still be seen today in
old water mills where the water provides cooling and lubrication.
BEARING
Definition- A bearing is a device to allow constrained relative motion between two or more
parts, typically rotation or linear movement. Bearings may be classified broadly according to
the motions they allow and according to their principle of operation as well as by the directions
of applied loads they can handle.
Plain bearings are widely used, and use surfaces in rubbing contact. Particularly with
lubrication they often give entirely acceptable life and friction. On the other hand, low friction
bearings are often important for efficiency, to reduce wear and to facilitate extended use at high
speeds. Essentially, a bearing can reduce friction by v i r t u e o f its shape, by its material, or
by introducing and containing a fluid between surfaces or by separating the surfaces with
an electromagnetic field.
By shape, gains advantage usually by using spheres or rollers, or by forming flexure bearings.
By material exploits the nature of the bearing material used. (An example would be using
plastics that have low surface friction.)
By fluids exploits the low viscosity of a layer of fluid, such as a lubricant or as a pressurized
medium to keep the two solid parts from touching, or by reducing the normal force between
them.
By fields exploits electromagnetic fields, such as magnetic fields, to keep solid parts from
touching. Combinations of these can even be employed within the same bearing. An example
of this is where the cage is made of plastic, and it separates the rollers/balls, which reduce
friction by their shape and finish.
Principles of Operation
Motions
Loads
Bearings vary greatly over the size and directions of forces that they can support. Forces can
be predominately radial, axial (thrust bearings) or moments perpendicular to the main axis.
CLASSIFICATION OF BEARINGS
Depending upon the direction of load to be supported:-Based on this criteria, the bearings
may be categorized into
a) Radial Bearings:-These are also known as Journal Bearings. In these bearings the main
load is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the moving elements.
b) Thrust Bearings:-In these bearings the load acts along the axis of rotation.
Depending upon the type of loading:-Based on this criteria, the journal bearings may be
categorized into.
a) Bearing with a steady load, such as bearings of electric generators, and motors,
centrifugal pumps, or various blowers or fans. Such bearings are called POWER
BEARINGS.
b) Bearing with a variable or fluctuating load, such as main crankpin, wrist pin, or
camshaft bearings in diesel engines.
Depending upon the nature of contact between the working:-Based on this criteria they
may be categorized into two general classes, each with two sub-types.
1) Plain (Sliding Contact Bearings):-The primary motion between the bearing and the
moving element is the sliding one :
a) Cylindrical bearing: can be made from a cast, solid bronze material. Cylindrical bearings
can be available as plain bearings, cored bars or solid bars in the market.
b) Thrust bearing: can be made from porous bronze, oil impregnated type of bearing
material. Thrust bearings can be available as plain bearings (also known as sleeve bearings),
flanged bearings, thrust-bearings, cored bars, solid bars and plate stock.
2.2) Depending upon the load to be carried, the rolling contact bearings may be categorized
as:
a) Radial Bearings: - In radial contact bearings, the load is primarily radial with only low
magnitude thrust load.
b) Thrust Bearings:-These bearings handle loads which are primarily thrust.
c) Angular Contact Bearings:-These bearings are used where the loads are combined
radial and high thrust, and where accurate shaft location is required.

Indian Bearing Industry
The Indian Bearing Industry is estimated at Rs30 Billion approximately. The Industry has
established a highly diversified product range of around 1000 type of Bearing, having High
Volume Demand. As much as 70% of the total Demand for common varieties and size of
bearing is met by the domestic Industry, and the remaining demand of 30% is
imported essentially for Industrial Application and special purpose. The Indian bearing
Industry can be divided in to the organized sector and un-organized sector. The organized
sector primarily caters to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Segment, which
predominantly comprises automotive railway and other Industrial users. The replacement
market is dominated by unorganized Sector.
ORGANISED SECTOR
The organized Sector comprises about 12 big Manufacturer, who contribute to more than50%
of total turnover. Most of the big players are having either technical or

The global bearings market is generally seen as the worldwide sales of rolling bearings,
comprising ball and roller bearing assemblies of various designs, including mounted bearing
units. SKF estimates that the global rolling bearing markets size in 2016 reached a value of
between SEK 340 and 360 billion.
The industrial original equipment bearing markets accounted for almost 40% of world demand
and included manufacturers of light and heavy industrial machines and equipment, as well as
aerospace, off-highway and railway vehicles. Sales through distributors (industrial distribution
and the independent vehicle aftermarket) maintained around 30% of world bearing demand, of
which around 25% is related to the vehicle service market and around 75% to the industrial
market.
The automotive original equipment bearing markets, including two and four wheelers,
accounted for more than 30%. Europe accounts for 25% of the total world market with
Germany alone accounting for almost 10%.The Americas now represent slightly more than
20% of global demand, of which the USA, Canada and Mexico together account for about
80%. In South America, Brazil is the major market and makes up more than 50% of regional
demand. Asias share of the world bearing market grew the most year-on-year and accounted
for more than 50% compared with less than 30% fifteen years ago. Chinas share of the total
world bearing market grew heavily to about 30%. Japans share of the world bearing market
accounts for slightly more than 10%. Other Asian markets with sizeable bearing sales account
for about 10%, including India, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan and South Korea. The Chinese
bearing market, which remains the largest of the emerging markets, is very fragmented, with
the main international bearing companies accounting for about one third of the market, while
the other two thirds of the market consists of a host of local manufacturers. Some of the largest
include: Wafangdian (ZWZ), Luoyang (LYC), Harbin (HRB), Zhejiang Tianma (TMB),
Wanxiang Qianchao, and C&U. The Indian bearing market accounts for less than 5% of the
world bearing market. The players in that market include international manufacturers and
several local manufacturers such as NEI, NRB, ABC and TATA.
Radial deep groove ball bearings are the most common rolling bearing type, accounting for
almost 30% of world bearing demand. Other major ball bearing types include angular contact
ball bearings, self-aligning ball bearings, thrust ball bearings and automotive wheel hub ball
bearing units. Roller bearings account for less than half of worldwide rolling bearing sales.
Roller bearings are named after the roller shape, such as cylindrical roller bearings, needle
roller bearings, tapered roller bearings and spherical roller bearings. All of these are available
for loads acting across the shaft (radial bearings) and for loads that are parallel with the shaft
(thrust bearings). The largest roller bearing family is the tapered roller bearing, with almost
20% of the world bearing market.

Manufacturing of Taper Roller Bearings
Flow of Material in Bearing Industry
Laboratory
For Metallurgical inspection based on the norms set by R & D Department
The inner and outer ring raceways are segments of cones and the rollers are tapered so that the
conical surfaces of the raceways, and the roller axes, if projected, would all meet at a common
point on the main axis of the bearing. This geometry makes the motion of the cones remain
coaxial, with no sliding motion between the raceways and the OD of the rollers.
This conical geometry creates a linear contact patch which permits greater loads to be carried
than with spherical (ball) bearings, which have point contact. The geometry means that the
tangential speeds of the surfaces of each of the rollers are the same as their raceways along the
whole length of the contact patch and no differential scrubbing occurs.
The rollers are stabilized and restrained by a flange on the inner ring, against which their large
end slides, which stops the rollers from popping out due to the "pumpkin seed effect" of their
conical shape.
The larger the half angles of these cones the larger the axial force that the bearing can sustain.
Tapered roller bearings are separable into a cone assembly and a cup. The non-separable cone
assembly consists of the inner ring, the rollers, and a cage that retains & evenly spaces the
rollers. The cup is simply the outer ring. Internal clearance is established during mounting by
the axial position of the cone relative to the cup, although preloaded installations without
clearance are common.
Tapered roller bearings are based on the observation that cones that meet at a point can
roll over each other without slipping. In practice, sections of cones are used.
Taper roller bearing types and characteristics
Single Row TRB
Taper roller bearings can take both axial and radial loads. The axial load carrying capacity of
the bearings is largely determined by the contact angle as shown in the figure below. If the
contact angle is larger, then the axial load carrying capacity is higher and vice versa.
Taper roller bearings are designed in such a way that vertices of the cone for each roller and
those for the inner and outer raceways coincides on the bearing axis or extensions of the
raceways and rollers converge at a common point on the axis of rotation. This results in true
rolling motion of the rollers on the raceways at every point along the rollers. The taper roller
bearings support radial loads and axial loads from one direction only. The line contact between
rollers and raceways provide the bearings with a high load carrying capacity.
Steep angle taper roller bearing with exceptionally steep cone angle enables the bearings to
take heavier axial load. The bearings are of separable type, enabling separate mounting of cups
and cones.
Since the taper roller bearings can absorb thrust loads in one direction only, these bearings
should generally be installed as opposed mountings. The correct amount of radial and axial
clearance is obtained by adjusting the two bearings against each other.
Besides, double row and four row taper roller bearings are also widely used for heavy loads
such as rolling mills. A single row taper roller bearing can be located endwise in one direction
only.
NBC Taper Roller Thrust bearings include rollers that have conical sections. These bearings
are designed primarily to support axial loads at contact angles between 30 and 90. These
bearing are suited for applications where extremely high thrust loads like in crane hooks, coal
pulveriser etc. These bearings can be supplied with a full complement of rollers.
Applications
Common uses for this tapered roller bearings include:
Automotive wheel bearings; as well as in gearboxes, axle systems, and engines
Agricultural machinery shafts and line shafts
As steady rest rollers, strip levellers, or in combination with a rail element

Process of Heat Treatment
Heat treatment of cups and cones of taper roller bearings are done on Chugai-Ro furnace and
Weins troth furnace. The contact surfaces of the bearing rings and rolling elements
are subjected to repeated high stresses, so they must maintain high precision and rotational
accuracy. T o accomplish this, the rings and rolling elements must be made of a material that
has high hardness, resistant to rolling fatigue, wear resistant and has good dimensional stability.
High carbon chromium bearing steel (SUJ 2) deep hardened by the hardening method &case
hardening steel (SC/SCM/SNCM) with a hardened carburized outer layer are used for the rings
and rolling elements of standard bearings. The most widely used and most suitable materials
for rolling bearings are high carbon steels. The most commonly used of these steels is SUJ2.
For bearings with large cross section dimensions SUJ3 or SUJ5 having good hardening
properties are used. NBC uses high carbon steel for almost all of spherical roller & cylindrical
roller bearings. For case hardening steel; Chrome Steel (SCr), Chrome Molybdenum Steel
(SCM)
and Nickel Chrome Molybdenum Steel (SNCM) are used because of its combination of ahard
surface layer which has been carburized and hardened to an appropriate depth, and are
relatively pliable inner core, case hardening steel has excellent efficiency against shock load.
NBC uses case hardening steel for almost all of tapered roller bearings. Since the life of the
bearing steel is determined by the purity of cleanliness of steel the above grade steels are low
in non-metallic impurities & low in oxygen content because they are refined by a Vacuum
degassing process & outside hearth smelting process.
The Hardening of steel is achieved by heat treatment process in which the steelmicrostructure
is manipulated by cycles of heating & quick cooling to obtain the optimum hardness range for
steel usually on the order of 60 to 64 on Rockwell C Hardness Scale. When slowly quenched
it would form Austenite & Pearlite which is a partly hard and partly soft structure
respectively. Hardening of steel requires a change in structure from Body Centred Cubic
Structure found at room temperature to Face Centred Cubic Structure found in Austenite
Region. When Steel is suddenly Quenched Martensite is formed which is extremely strong and
If steel is Quenched slowly then Pearlite is formed which is extremely Soft.
Working of Chugai-Ro Furnace
1. Input: Raw materials after turning is fed into the hopper of the Chugai-Ro furnace.
Chugai-Ro Furnace
1. Automatic Prewashing: It consists of no man. 3 preheaters at 60C +10/-20C are used to
heat the materials. Cerfa clean (L2S) is used to remove the oil because the oil can stick to the
job and then due to heating marks can be left on the surface of the materials.
Simple H2O cleaning is used to remove the excess of cerfa clean at 4-5 KPa Pressure for almost
1 hour.
Then the jobs are sent forward where the blower dries the job and removes excess water from
them.
2. Alignment: Then comes the rabbit conveyer which moves the jobs in batch wise for proper
alignment because if jobs are not aligned properly then there can be production delay and if
more number of jobs go in then they might get stuck and whole process has to be stopped and
started all over again.
3. Heating: Heating is done in the main furnace. Its capacity is 450 kg/hour. The furnace is
thermally insulated using glass wool. The furnace consists of 4 zones. These zones control the
amount of CO^2. If the CO2 is more it will lead to scaling and if less, then the hardness can
get affected. Thus its control is very important. An inert atmosphere is maintained inside to
prevent the air flow in and out to prevent oxidation. And thus for this we have an LPG
connection which reacts with the H2 inside and thus a continuous flame curtain is produced
which prevents the air to pass in or go out. And in the bottom side there is a water curtain which
does the same process.
Zone 1: Its function is to provide ambient temperature of approx. 840 C.
Zone 2: In this the temperature varies from 830-850C according to hardness to be achieved.
Soaking of temperature takes place here.
Zone 3 & 4: Its function is to maintain a constant temperature of around 830-850 C
according to requirement. This is the most important zone.
4. Quenching: After the heating process we have the quenching process. Jobs are quenched up
to 105 C in Nippon 303 oil tank. Vapours made after the quenching process are not allowed
to go back into the inert atmosphere by the oil curtain. A shell type heat exchanger is used to
cool the hot quenching oil.
5. Post-washing: The quenched jobs are sent to the cooler fan to cool them and then to the
post washing tank at temperature 22.5 7.5 C to remove the quenched oil.
6. Tempering: It is the last process. Tempering is done at 170 C 5C temperature for about
90 minutes to relieve the internal stresses. It reduces the hardness to about 3 HRC but increases
the toughness.

The capacity is 1500 kg/hour.
Note: The jobs after heating in Wiens troth furnace are bluish-grey or black in texture but
in Chugai-Ro the texture is Brownish in colour.
Process of Grinding
The Next stage is grinding, in order to give the rings the right form and dimension. The
operations occur in following Order:
Face Grinding It is the first operation for both inner & outer rings. Both faces are ground
simultaneously to give the final width.
Outside / Centre less Grinding Outside diameter of inner ring is ground to final dimension in
centre less grinding machine.
The final machining operations are carried out on parallel lines of grinding and finishing
machines. Inner Rings have the bores & raceways ground while Outer Rings have the only the
raceway ground. These operations are carried away by form dressed grinding wheels.
After grinding Operation, Honing is done.
After honing the rings are thoroughly washed with water based cleaning medium so Rings get
perfectly cleaned before Assembly is done.
Theory of Roller Manufacturing:
The Raw Material used (SUJ 2 Steel) for manufacturing of rollers is a specially formulated
grade of Steel. The Material is Supplies by rod. It is then cut to length &width on Production
Lathe. For Spherical Rollers or Tapered Rollers, The rod is then fed through a header. This
cold forged process produce slugs at an incredibly high speed. Rod is fed from
decoilersinto cold heading machines where it is cut into blanks and then pressed betweenhem
ispherical dies or conical dies. For Cylindrical Rollers the above procedure is not done. The
flash around the rollers produced during pressing is removed by filing plates in deburring
machines. These rough shaped spherical rollers have a ring around the middle. The next
process is to remove this ring by machining in rill-filing machine, equipped with one fixed and
one rotating cast iron rill-plate. Concentric grooves in the plate ensure that the whole
roller surface is machined to same extent and thus a spherical form is achieved. The next
process for Rollers is grinding in which rollers are grind in the order: Face, O.D, and I.D. The
grinding process is done in two phases; one prior to Heat Treatment (Rough Grinding) & one
after the heat treatment process (Finish Grinding).Final inspection for size, form and surface
finish is carried out on a sample basis by means of high resolution microscopes and other
precision equipment because a tiniest deviation even of the order of 1 (10
-10 m) in the roundness of bearing element can have an impact on bearing quality. The rollers
are then cleaned and dispatched for bearing assembly operation.
Cage Manufacturing
Finally the rings, Rollers & Cage which have been manufactured in different locations come
together for semi Automatic or Automatic Assembly. Raceways & Rings are Optically
Inspected separately prior to assembly. By selecting suitable combinations of ring & Rollers
sizes the required internal clearance is obtained. Rollers are fed into the cage which are together
fed in between the Outer & Inner Raceway & are fitted together through pressing. After
washing, the final inspection sequence starts which consist of number of checks such as running
accuracy, vibration level, outside and bore diameters and radial clearance of bearings. The
bearings are then automatically washed, coated with preservative, greased and fitted with seals
or shields before being packed.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research can be defined as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information in any
branch of knowledge. It is the pursuit of truth with the help of study, observation, comparison
and experiment. Research is, thus, an original contribution to the existing stock of knowledge
making for its advancement.
OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
The purpose of attending this training is to understand the different processes involved in the
manufacturing of bearings and its applications in different areas. The study also includes the
understanding of the industrial production processes and work culture present there.

Summary of Tempering Study
This report describes the NBC bearing industry and its technology. The industry is spread over
118 acres of land in Jaipur and 56 acres in Gunsi (Newai).This is the only unit in the country
manufacturing wide variety and range of bearings such as Ball Bearings, Steel Balls, Tapered
Roller Bearings, Cylindrical Roller Bearings& Axle Boxes for Railway Rolling Stock
including Spherical Roller Bearings, Cartridge Tapered Roller Bearings and Large diameter
special Bearings in separate fully equipped factories. NEI has set up its third Ball Bearing
manufacturing plant in the fastest growing industrial town of Manesar in Haryana. The plant is
having a covered area of 5200 sq. meters. With the most advanced and sophisticated machines
imported from reputed manufacturers from Europe and Japan .It has been long pursued policy
and commitment of National Engineering Industries Limited (NEI) to adhere to highest
standards of integrity professional and financial and business ethics in the operation of its
business. We believe that this organization has been handed to us by the various stakeholders
in "trust and we as professional managers are the "trustees" of those stakeholders. It is
therefore our responsibility to ensure that the organization is managed in a manner that protects
and furthers the interests of our stakeholders.
SUMMARY
Bearings are mechanical devices employed to reduce friction between rotating equipment.
Global bearings market is estimated at USD 60 billion, which is dominated by multinational
companies like AB SKF (Sweden), Schaeffler Group (Germany), The Timken Company
(USA) and Japanese companies like NSK, NTN and JTEKT. Indian bearing market is
estimated at Rs 85 billion and it constitutes less than 4% of global bearing demand. In terms of
consumption, about 60% requirement is catered through domestic production while remaining
is met through imports. Industrial segment constitute major share of domestic bearing demand
which is largely driven by general machines/motors, electrical equipments (fans/appliances)
as well as heavy industries. Increasing automation in manufacturing units, thrust by
Governments Make in India program, spending towards railways and metros will support
growth of manufacturing and engineering sector, which augurs well for bearing industry.
Bearing industry is a technology and capital intensive industry, as end products finds
application in critical applications like aviation, automobile engines, railways and others.
Consequently, all major players have technology tie-up with their parent (SKF, FAG, Timken)
or with a foreign collaborator (NEI, NRB, ABC). Bearings are mainly manufactured using high
grade steel or alloy steel, which exposes them to global steel price movement. In general, raw
material accounts for about two third of companys cost structure or around 58% of bearing
manufacturers revenue. While bearing manufacturers have relatively strong pricing flexibility
owing to technology knowhow and strong aftermarket presence; their profitability was also
impacted during FY12-FY14 in the backdrop of increase in steel prices and weak demand. Out
of bearing raw material cost, bearing rings/races constitute major share of raw material
followed by that of rollers, cages and seals. Given that bearings find application in computer
hardware to aerospace industry, the complexity of bearing ring varies with its applications,
weight and size. The entry barrier are relatively lower for smaller bearing rings but
technological knowhow as well as manufacturing capabilities becomes a differentiating factor
as complexity/size of bearing increases. After witnessing flattish performance during FY12-
FY14, Indian bearing industry has witnessed healthy growth of 12.7% YoY during 9mFY15
supported by recovery in domestic automotive sector as well as improved off-take in industrial
activity. Operating profitability of bearing manufacturers has also recovered in FY15,
supported by benign commodity prices and improved operating leverage. With likely
improvement in key end user industries like energy/power (after coal block allocation), cement
(higher infrastructure/road spending), automotive and railways, ICRA expects bearing industry
to grow at healthy 12% CAGR over the medium term. The growth will be also supported by
stable replacement demand, which provides comfort during slowdown in core industries.
