Explore our high-performance industrial blowers, slurry pumps, and custom bearing-supported engineering assemblies.
Bearing housings (also known as bearing blocks or plummer/pillow blocks) form the structural bedrock of industrial rotating machinery. Operating as the protective enclosure and structural support for bearings, they facilitate seamless power transmission in blowers, pumps, turbomachinery, compressors, and conveyer systems worldwide. As global heavy industries transition towards higher operating velocities, extreme thermal thresholds, and corrosive operational conditions, the demand for optimized bearing housings has intensified.
In modern industrial applications, bearing housings must withstand immense radial and axial loads while isolating internal rolling elements from external contaminants like slurry, ash, moisture, and chemical vapors. This requires superior metallurgy, tight tolerance manufacturing, and advanced thermal dissipation capabilities. Organizations looking to source these critical units often require robust cast steel or ductile iron bodies that yield prolonged operational life-spans and lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Navigating the supply chain balance: How Chinese advanced foundries combine economical production with high-precision metallurgy.
Chinese manufacturers have progressed from basic cast-iron fabrication to high-integrity materials like SG (Spheroidal Graphite) iron, nodular ductile iron, and alloyed steel castings. Advanced electric arc furnaces and spectrometry allow tight control of chemical composition, matching international standards like ASTM, DIN, and JIS.
Low costs do not compromise precision. Foundries employ multi-axis horizontal and vertical CNC machining centers, guaranteeing micrometric dimensional accuracy (within H7/g7 tolerances). This level of precision is crucial to prevent premature bearing failure caused by misalignment.
The clustering of casting, thermal treatment, machining, surface finishing, and balancing services within specialized regions minimizes logistics overhead. This allows for highly competitive pricing while maintaining short lead times for custom-designed orders.
Established with over 50 years of blower and heavy machinery design, manufacturing technology, and industrial experience, Shandong Zhangqiu Blower Co., Ltd. (ZCBC) stands as a prominent pioneer in the Chinese heavy machinery industry. Setting up two Sino-Japanese Joint-ventures and one USA branch, we are the leading enterprise in Zhangqiu's local industry. Our key products, including Roots Blowers, Centrifugal Blowers, Fans, and Industrial Pumps, occupy leading market positions across Asia and globally.
Our expansive industrial ecosystem is backed by our state-of-the-art modern industrial park spanning over 430,000 m² since our expansion in 2005. In July 2011, ZCBC achieved listing on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (Stock Code: 002598), cementing our financial reliability and global expansion strategy. As of 2020, our parent company realized an operating income of 1.5 billion yuan, and we maintain 20 holding companies with manufacturing bases in Wuxi, Dongguan, Chenzhou, Jinchang, and advanced R&D centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Shijiazhuang, and Wuxi.
Our heavy equipment manufacturing relies heavily on our internal high-precision bearing housing and casting fabrication division. We feature the world's most advanced product life cycle management (PLM) system, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology, and computer-aided process design (CAPP). Our testing capabilities feature over 100 sets of CNC machining centers, five-axis machining centers, three-axis measuring instruments, and ultrasonic flaw detectors imported from Japan and Germany.
At ZCBC, we cultivate scientific and technological talent, providing a broad stage for display. Our strong research team features experts enjoying State Council special allowances, senior engineering researchers, and Ph.D. candidates. We have established a "postgraduate workstation" and maintain close contact with prestigious institutions such as Tsinghua University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, China University of Mining and Technology, and Shandong University.
"Cohesion produces strength, unity brings glory. Success is just a comma; the highest mountain is always in Zhanggu people's mind."
We provide 3D CAD/CAM drawings within 24 hours of client request, allowing for custom modifications and validation prior to manufacturing patterns.
Our industrial production is systematically certified to meet international criteria. We hold the following certifications:
With 69 authorized patents, including 5 invention patents, we guarantee innovative features like countercurrent cooling, fan noise reduction, anti-sticky wear, special sealing, and grease lubrication systems embedded within our heavy-duty bearing housings.
Optimizing mechanical stability across diverse and demanding industrial environments.
Pumping abrasive media requires high-rigidity bearing housings to absorb severe shocks and vibrations. Our housings prevent grease contamination in mining operations and support heavy slurry pumps (such as our ceramic TZJK-TD and submerged ZJQ series).
Wastewater treatment plants run continuously. To prevent unplanned downtime, our Roots blowers and multi-stage centrifugal blowers require bearing housings with integrated oil levels, thermometers, and labyrinth seals to maintain running temperatures below 80°C.
Conveying cement, ash, or grain introduces high dust loads. The bearing housing must employ hermetic sealing solutions, such as double-lip rubber seals or pressurized air purges, to isolate dust from the roller elements.
Global procurement teams prioritize TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) over purchase price. Long-term reliability is crucial; a bearing housing failure that leads to shaft misalignment can cause production downtime costlier than the housing itself. We satisfy these priorities with:
With an experienced R&D team, ZCBC provides comprehensive CAD and 3D modeling support. Send us your parameters—load, speed, temperature, and environment—and our engineers will optimize the housing structure using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to maximize durability and thermal efficiency before casting begins.

To support global trade operations, ZCBC established a dedicated international sales company alongside our US branch. Today, our products are exported to the United States, Germany, Italy, Russia, Brazil, and over 70 other countries and regions. We participate in joint ventures and international collaborations, integrating our operations with localized engineering support teams.
Aligned with industrial policies and environmental supply-side reforms, ZCBC continues to focus on three key industrial areas: intelligent manufacturing, wastewater treatment, and advanced materials engineering. Our team delivers comprehensive services including design, installation, commission, water treatment operations, and MVR thermal evaporative systems.
