Supe Pecision Beaings fo Machine Tools Outstanding speed, igidity, and pecision delive impoved machine tool pefomance while educing enegy loss and placing less buden on the global envionment.
NSK s key technologies meet the demand fo high pefomance pecision beaings and envionmental pesevation. Tibology, the study of fiction and wea, is a coe NSK technology that not only saves enegy and esouces by deceasing fiction and wea on machines, but also pevents machine malfunction and theeby impoves eliability. NSK has established fou key technologies aound this cental expetise as the foundation fo developing envionmentally sound poducts. These ae: analysis technology towad compehensively educing enegy loss; evaluation technology fo pecisely meeting maket needs; lubication technology fo educing enegy loss and making highe pefomance compatible goals and mateial technology to extend poduct life. Analysis Technology NSK developed its own softwae, Beaing Analysis In NSK (BRAIN), which enables digital simulations of fiction-elated movement and pefomance by applying tibology. The combined use of this simulation data with a finite element method (FEM) leads to the ealization of advanced compute-aided engineeing (CAE). Evaluation Technology NSK has established an evaluation technology that spans a wide ange of applications by employing advanced technologies such as nano-ode unout measuement using ultahigh-pecision measuing instuments. Ou evaluation technology contibutes to the development of cutting-edge poducts that coespond with inceasingly sophisticated maket needs. Lubication Technology Though the elentless application of tibology, NSK s key technology, NSK has pusued lubication technologies that allow machines to delive maximum pefomance. NSK s accomplishments in these effots contibute to saving enegy and esouces, theeby conseving the global envionment. Mateial Technology Reseach and development acoss a wide ange of mateial technologies has been conducted to poduce eve-highe pefoming poducts. Poducts made of NSK s popietay mateials delive long life unde hash conditions, ae maintenancefee and suppot vaious applications thoughout many industies. 1 2
