Key to machine tool performance
07 November 2013
To ensure demand for higher speeds can be met, NSK has invested in new materials and production techniques to deliver a wide range of super precision bearings that allow machine tools to operate at higher speeds and help deliver greater accuracy and performance.

From its collaborations with machine tool companies and spindle manufacturers, NSK has developed a product portfolio of angular contact bearings that covers machine tool spindle applications across the widest range of operating speeds.
The Robust series of ultra high speed bearings employs a larger number of smaller diameter balls as their rolling elements, enabling them to operate at rotational speeds some 20% higher than conventional designs.
