Bearings improve energy efficiency

To help designers and customers alike, NSK has developed a series of improvements for bearing design and manufacture. These have resulted in standard deep groove ball bearings demonstrating up to a 47% torque saving for high speed domestic appliances compared to conventional bearings of the same size. This helps to improve efficiency and therefore reduce energy consumption; two features which will appeal to every industrial sector.

NSK has also made several developments in tribology and material technology as well as advancements in steel cleanliness to produce a significantly improved steel fatigue life.
