Innovative application of solid lubrication bearings in new energy vehicles

1. Technical background
With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, higher requirements are placed on the performance of components. Traditional lubrication methods (such as liquid lubrication) have limitations in certain application scenarios of new energy vehicles, such as lubricant leakage, poor adaptability to high temperature environments, and high maintenance costs. Solid lubrication bearings have gradually become an important choice for new energy vehicle components due to their unique advantages.
The core of solid lubrication bearings lies in their lubricating materials. It usually uses self-lubricating materials (such as graphite, polytetrafluoroethylene, molybdenum disulfide, etc.) or composite materials, which can provide stable lubrication effects under oil-free or low-oil conditions, and have the characteristics of high temperature resistance, wear resistance and low friction coefficient.

2. Innovative application scenarios
In new energy vehicles, the application scenarios of solid lubrication bearings mainly include the following aspects:
Motor shaft system
The motors of new energy vehicles need to operate under high speed and high torque conditions, and traditional lubrication methods may fail due to the centrifugal force of the lubricant. Solid lubrication bearings can effectively solve this problem, provide stable lubrication effects, and extend the life of the motor.
Transmission
The transmission of new energy vehicles usually needs to work under high temperature and high load conditions. The high temperature and wear resistance of solid lubricating bearings make them an ideal choice for transmissions, which can reduce the use of lubricants and reduce maintenance costs.
Steering system
The steering system needs to maintain high precision and low friction under frequent movements and complex working conditions. The low friction coefficient and self-lubricating characteristics of solid lubricating bearings can improve the response speed and reliability of the steering system.
Battery cooling system
The battery cooling system of new energy vehicles needs to operate in an environment with high temperature and high humidity. The corrosion resistance and water resistance of solid lubricating bearings enable them to work stably in such harsh environments.

3. Advantages and innovations
The application of solid lubricating bearings in new energy vehicles has the following significant advantages:
Low maintenance cost
Solid lubricating bearings do not require frequent addition of lubricants, reducing maintenance workload and costs.
Strong environmental adaptability
Solid lubricating materials can work stably in high temperature, high humidity and high load environments, and adapt to various complex working conditions of new energy vehicles.
Improve system reliability
The self-lubricating characteristics of solid lubricating bearings reduce failures caused by poor lubrication and improve the reliability and service life of new energy vehicles.
Lightweight design
Solid lubrication bearings usually use lightweight materials, which helps to reduce the overall weight of new energy vehicles and improve energy efficiency.
