New Product Design:

The existing bearings in the market do not always meet consumer needs. In some cases, the conditions of the product in use are such that a specific bearing must be designed for it. In these situations, the PSN R&D team gathers complete information about the conditions of the product in question and designs and manufactures the required bearing according to the customer's needs. Important factors involved in bearing design include the dimensions of the available space, forces applied to the bearing, environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.), and particularly the desired lifespan. Designing and manufacturing a new bearing involves several stages within the R&D unit, including feasibility studies, initial calculations, 3D modeling, computer analysis, prototype construction, practical testing, and more, until mass production is achieved

Improvement of Current Products:

The PSN R&D team is continuously present in product return analysis meetings and always seeks new and up-to-date ideas to improve product design. Analyzing the causes of past product failures helps improve the design of future products. One example is the issue of bearing seals. Water ingress into the interior space of the bearing can significantly reduce the product's lifespan. The R&D team continuously has various projects underway to improve the quality of product seals in terms of design, as proper sealing can greatly contribute to a product's longevity, even after the warranty period has ended.

Design and Manufacture of Specific Equipment and Machinery for PSN:

Bearing production is a specialized and knowledge-based process that is always faced with various challenges. Many of these challenges are resolved with previous experiences, but in some cases, new problems arise that require creativity and the design and manufacture of new equipment and machinery, which is the responsibility of the R&D team. For example, when a new product is designed, measuring equipment must also be redesigned to fit the new design. It is worth noting that the dimensions and sizes of bearing parts have accuracies up to 0.001 millimeters, making the design and manufacture of measuring tools for this range a very specialized and precise task.

Research Projects:

In line with the continuous improvement of product quality and the advancement and optimization of production methods, the PSN R&D team always has various projects underway. Some of these projects are internal, while others are defined and pursued in collaboration with academic centers or various Iranian or international companies.

The PSN R&D team is always striving to keep the organization's technical knowledge up-to-date with the latest achievements in this industry worldwide and even to take steps in producing knowledge and technology and designing new inventions in this field.
