The construction of high-speed rail and other rail transportations is increasing at an accelerated pace. In addition to directly benefiting transport equipment manufacturers, it also has a major impact on the upstream and downstream industry chains, including the aluminum processing industry. With the development of China's high-speed rail system and urban rail transit system, the demand for aluminum profiles for traffic will “eruptâ€. As the aluminum industry's current highest value-added market, aluminum processing and listed companies have actively participated in them. Mingtai Aluminum (601677) announced today that it plans to increase the price, not less than 11.2 yuan / share price, non-public issuance of no more than 65 million shares, raised funds not exceeding 750 million yuan, all for investment in construction "annual output 20,000 tons aluminum transportation project." According to the briefing, the “Aluminum Section for the Production of 20,000 Tons Annually for Traffic†project is located in Fuyang City, Henan Province and is adjacent to the main lines of the Longhai Railway, Jingguang High Speed ​​Rail, Zhengxi High Speed ​​Rail, Lianhuo Expressway, and Zhengzhou Ring Expressway. The project construction period is 24 months and the total investment is 829 million yuan. After the completion of the project, an additional 20,000 tons of special aluminum products will be added to form 400 sets of rail car body parts. Previously, Mingtai Aluminum has signed cooperation agreements with customers such as CSR and CSR. Among them, CSR Sifang will provide technical support for Mingtai Aluminum to assist the company in forming its production capacity as soon as possible and nurture the company to become a major supplier of car parts for CSR Zhengzhou Base. According to estimates by Mingtai Aluminum, after the above investment projects are put into operation, they will achieve an average annual operating income of 794 million yuan and an average annual net profit of 188 million yuan. Mingtai Aluminum stated that the issuance is an important step in the company's diversification strategy. The company's in-depth cooperation with strategic customers such as China South Locomotive and its expansion into rail vehicles will help improve the company’s overall technology level, thereby achieving full coverage of aluminum processing products, enriching product lines, and extending the industry chain. In addition to Ming Tai Aluminum, other aluminum processing listed companies are also actively lean to aluminum profiles for transportation. Among them, Nanshan Aluminum (600219) stated in its semi-annual report this year that as the company's projects under construction are completed and put into operation in the future, the company's main products will be tilted toward high value-added products such as aviation, ships, and automobiles. Currently, a market research and development team has been established. , Started research and development in the domestic market. In recent years, the construction of China's high-speed rail system and the development of urban rail transit systems have accelerated, and aluminum alloy car bodies have been widely used in the field of rail vehicles. Aluminum profiles and aluminum plates have become the main materials of rail vehicle bodies. This area has high technical requirements for products, large investment in equipment, and high added value of products. It is the key development direction of the aluminum processing industry, and it is also one of the markets with the highest industrial added value in the aluminum processing industry. According to statistics, as of the end of 2013, a total of more than 1,000 high-speed EMU trains were operating in the country, of which more than 86% of the car bodies were made of aluminum materials, and the aluminum car body would become the main configuration choice for future rail vehicle bodies. It is estimated that from 2014 to 2020, the domestic passenger dedicated line will require approximately 28,000 high-speed trains, each of which will require approximately 11 tons of aluminum profiles and approximately 310,000 tons of aluminum profiles. In addition, in addition to rail transit aluminum profiles, automotive aluminum profiles are also in demand. With the advancement of vehicle manufacturing technology in China's automobile industry and the development of automotive weight reduction, aluminum profiles for automobiles will continue to increase. It is predicted that by 2020, China's auto production will reach 25 million units, and the demand for aluminum profiles will be around 750,000 tons.
The UCF pillow block mounted bearing series has four bolt holes, and a set screw lock is designed for mounting onto bearing surfaces parallel to the shaft axis, such as conveyor belts. This ready-to-mount unit has solid base cast iron housing, chrome steel bearings, and is designed for efficient operation at a wide range of speeds. This one-piece pillow block housing allows for a stationary outer ring and rotating inner ring. Insert bearing maintains the separation between moving parts to reduce rotational friction, and to support radial and axial loads. The bearing is secured to the shaft with set screws to prevent slippage. This mounted bearing is used in food and beverage manufacturing, textile industry and many other industrial manufacturing.
Pillow blocks are usually referred to the housings which have a bearing fitted into them & thus the user need not purchase the bearings separately. Pillow blocks are usually mounted in cleaner environments & generally are meant for lesser loads of general industry. These differ from "plummer blocks" which are bearing housings supplied without any bearings & are usually meant for higher load ratings & corrosive industrial environments. However the terms pillow-block & plummer-block are used interchangeably in certain parts of the world.

However fundamental application of both types is the same which is to primarily mount bearings safely enabling their outer ring to be stationary while allowing rotation of the inner ring. The housing is bolted to a foundation through the holes in the base. Bearing housings are either split type or unsplit type. Split type housings are usually two piece housings where the cap and base can be detached. While certain series are one single piece housings. Various seals are provided to prevent dust and other contaminants from entering the housing. Thus the housing provides a clean environment for the expensive bearings to freely rotate hence increasing their performance and duty cycle.
Bearing housings are usually made of grey cast iron. However various different grades of metals can be used to manufacture the same.
