[0002] Bearings, the hinge of the machinery industry, are facing increasingly stringent requirements and a growing market demand for personalized products, driven by the rapid advancement of manufacturing technology. Bearings come in a variety of forms, generally classified by their motion as unidirectional rotation, circumferential reciprocating oscillating, and axial reciprocating oscillating. Currently, oscillating bearings are widely used in aviation, aerospace, heavy industry, light industry, electromechanical, and construction, pushing their oscillation performance to new heights.
