Tight brake line adjustment can also damage the secondary shaft bearing and roller pins, significantly extending the life of the rear wheel shock absorber bearing. This condition is critical because, after the chain is tightened, it creates a larger forced restraint torque between the secondary shaft and the rear wheel shock absorber. Under the influence of this torque, the bearing's task characteristics are destroyed, with one side experiencing greater force, leading to overheating and damage. In recent years, extensive experimental and research work has been conducted on the fatigue performance of chain and chainwheel systems both domestically and internationally, undoubtedly playing a significant role in guiding product design and manufacturing. Even without damage, gaps will form in a relatively short period of time. Once the bearing clearance increases, the straight-line task of the secondary shaft is compromised, and the roller pin bearing will quickly be damaged, transferring the issue from the chain sprocket to the engine. Therefore, it is crucial to properly and timely adjust the tension of the motorcycle's stainless steel chain.
The development of the brake line industry has a long history, and its prospects are exceptionally promising. Overall, the demand for standard brake lines will gradually decline as they phase out. In contrast, the demand for non-standard brake line products and their market share within the industry will notably increase. It's clear that non-standard brake lines represent a significant direction for the brake line product line, with immense market potential and a vast developmental horizon. Additionally, due to the synchronized belt wheel's combination of the advantages of belt-driven transmission and the characteristics of brake line transmission, its market share within the chain transmission component market is poised for a substantial rise. Its development prospects look very bright, with its market potential being immeasurable.
Brake lines are a testament to technical prowess, yet Chinese brake line companies lack core technology. Post-WTO, China's automotive industry policies dictated joint venture equity ratios for complete vehicles, but imposed no restrictions on foreign investment in the parts sector, directly leading to the hollowing out of core technology in China's parts industry. Currently, most domestic independent brake line companies are still at the stage of processing according to provided drawings and sample mapping. Facing the fast-paced high demand for new models, varieties, and technologies from整车 manufacturers, many independent brake line companies are merely struggling to keep up with research and development tasks, with no time to focus on enhancing their fundamental R&D capabilities and supporting capacities. With the development of China's automotive industry in recent years, China became one of the world's leading automotive production and sales countries in 2010. However, the industry widely believes that due to the lack of core technology and independent research and development capabilities, China can only be termed as an automotive giant, not a powerhouse. To truly strengthen, it must start with parts.
Brake lines can be categorized into two markets based on their integration stages in the automotive industry: the whole-vehicle accessory market and the after-sales maintenance market. The whole-vehicle accessory market refers to the market where various brake line manufacturers supply components for new vehicles before they are manufactured, encompassing all sorts of automotive parts. The after-sales maintenance market pertains to the market formed due to the wear and tear of vehicle components, necessitating replacements during the vehicle's usage. Currently, there are tens of thousands of brake line companies across China, but only a few have reached the scale requirements. Moreover, there is a lack of large, competitive backbone enterprises due to the independent systems of local governments, departments, and enterprises, leading to scattered and duplicated investments. It is challenging to enter the lucrative high-end market. Due to the dispersed nature of the industry, the overall advantages are difficult to demonstrate, making it hard to meet the bulk purchasing needs of foreign buyers.
Overall, within the brake line industry, standard sprockets will gradually decline in demand and market share, while the demand for non-standard sprockets and their market share will significantly rise. It can be said that non-standard sprockets represent a development direction for the entire sprocket product line, with immense market potential and a promising future. Additionally, due to the advantages of belt drive and the characteristics of sprocket drive, the market share of synchronous belt wheels in the chain drive component products will see a substantial increase, with an equally optimistic outlook and untold market potential. In summary, non-standard sprockets and synchronous belt wheels symbolize the future development direction and overall trend of the entire sprocket and transmission component series, boasting vast market potential and a broad development前景.
