HRB Claims Third Prize at National Simulation Innovation Contest

Recently, the 2025 National Simulation Innovation Application Competition, hosted by the Talent Exchange Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other organizations, concluded. The team representing the Technical Center of Jianlong Harbin Bearing Group Co., Ltd. won the third prize nationwide with their entry, "Harbin Bearing - Simulation Engineering Calculation Analysis of Wind Turbine Yaw and Pitch Bearings." After rigorous selection through city-level preliminary rounds and provincial-level semi-finals, they stood out from over 500 finalists nationwide, becoming the only winning project in the bearing category of this competition. This fully demonstrates Jianlong Harbin Bearing's solid technical foundation and innovative breakthrough capabilities in the field of high-end bearing simulation design and engineering applications.

Anchoring Industry Pain Points, Simulation Empowers Technological Breakthroughs

As a core component of wind turbine generators, wind turbine yaw and pitch bearings face the dual challenges of heavy loads, variable speeds, alternating loads, and harsh outdoor environments. Their structural reliability and performance stability are directly related to the overall operational safety of the turbine. Based on the actual needs of the wind power industry, the Jianlong Harbin Bearing Technology Center team focused on the core technical challenges in the design and development of this type of bearing, launching a special technical research project with the core objective of "precise simulation to optimize product performance."

The team constructed a 3D simulation model that closely resembles actual working conditions. Multiple rounds of multi-dimensional simulation calculations and parameter iterations were conducted on key indicators such as bearing structural strength, contact stress distribution, lubrication effect, and fatigue life. Through repeated optimization of structural design and adjustments to material selection and lubrication schemes, the bearing indicators in the simulation model were brought to their optimal state. This provided a scientific and accurate technical basis for the subsequent physical development of the product, significantly shortening the R&D cycle and reducing trial-and-error costs.

From Simulation to Mass Production: Technological Achievements Deliver Results

The value of simulation verification ultimately needs to be tested in practice. After the wind turbine yaw and pitch bearing, optimized through simulation, completed its design finalization, the Jianlong Harbin Bearing Technology Center followed up on the entire process from trial production to mass production, closely collaborating with the production department to provide comprehensive technical guidance and service support, ensuring the accurate implementation of the simulation optimization solution.

Currently, this wind turbine yaw and pitch bearing, powered by simulation technology, has achieved mass production. Actual operation data shows that the product performs excellently in key performance indicators such as load-bearing capacity, operational stability, and fatigue life, gaining high recognition and positive feedback from customers and securing continuous orders.

Strengthening capabilities through competition and driving development through technology

The reason this entry stood out among numerous excellent projects nationwide is primarily due to its distinct "engineering-oriented, practice-based" characteristics. Starting from real industry needs, the simulation process was rigorous and standardized, the data support was solid and strong, and the application results were significant. It perfectly aligned with the competition's core purpose of "using simulation technology to assist industrial upgrading," and passed the rigorous multi-dimensional evaluation of the judges regarding technological innovation, engineering practicality, and simulation scientific validity, ultimately winning recognition in the national finals' defense round.

In the future, Jianlong Harbin Bearing Technology Center will continue to delve into the forefront of simulation technology, deepen the application of simulation technology in the entire process of bearing R&D, process optimization, and performance improvement, accelerate the transformation of more scientific research results into real productivity, inject stronger technological momentum into the high-end, intelligent, and green development of Jianlong Harbin Bearing, and help the company continue to lead the competition in the high-end bearing market.
