The use of application-specific bearing steels and surface treatments permits the reliability of bearings to be increased significantly, which in turn contributes to the reduction of machinery and equipment TCO (total cost of ownership). A combination of a special alloy and specific heat treatment was used to develop NSK's Super Tough steel.

The market for flexible couplings is diverse: At one end are simple, low cost couplings connecting shafts of 4 or 5mm diameter; at the other large, expensive multi-part couplings with shaft sizes of 150 to 500mm. What unifies them is the basic need to accept shaft misalignment, together with meeting machine specific backlash and rigidity conditions
