On March 12th, Chairman Zhang Lianfeng led a team to pay a visit to the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering at Qingdao Technological University. There, he engaged in profound exchanges and in - depth discussions with the university's experts and professors on subjects like the long - life performance of rolling bearings, low - friction characteristics, and lubrication for maintenance - free bearings.

We visited several key laboratories at Qingdao Technological University, such as the Bearing Lubricating Oil Film Detection Lab, the Tribology and Intelligent Fault Detection Lab for Mechanical Equipment, and the New Energy and Energy - Saving Technology Research Lab. Professor Li Xinming from the School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering there gave a detailed account of the research projects and their progress, providing the latest scientific data for the development of cutting - edge industry technologies.

During the symposium, Chairman Zhang Lianfeng gave a detailed account of the company's arduous start - up journey and the continuous innovation and enhancement of its flagship products. Chief Engineer Xu Liang elaborated on the company's experiences and accomplishments in the areas of maintenance - free bearing units and wheel hub assemblies. They engaged in in - depth exchanges with numerous experts from Qingdao Technological University, including Professor Li Xinming, Associate Professors Bai Qinghua, Bao Jianchen, and Post - doctor Jin Xuyang. Wang Jiarong, the vice president in charge of strategic planning at Linyi Kaiyuan Bearing, accompanied the exchanges.

The key discussion points included:

1. The collaborative goals and blueprints for industry, academia, and research.

2. The factors underlying the long - life mechanism of rolling bearings.

3. The performance criteria for lubricating grease in maintenance - free bearings.

4. The analysis of bearing failures, like the impact mechanisms of carbide bands/nets and white etching cracks.

5. The company's proposal to offer practical bases for research - based learning cooperation with university students.

Moreover, it was announced that the Postgraduate Practice Base of Qingdao Technological University will be established and officially unveiled at Kaiyuan Bearing. Both parties reached a consensus, agreeing that deepening industry - university - research cooperation would boost the enterprise's capabilities and serve as a vital driving force and core support for the high - quality development of the bearing industry.
