Latest development and improvement of bearings and related products for environment protection

摘要

Bearings have been contributing to environment as energy saving products by their low friction rolling mechanism. Today, from the standpoint of global environment protection, we are trying to contribute to environment by unitizing and modulizing bearings and their related parts, or by making bearings more intelligent products. For automobiles and various kinds of machines, especially, "downsizing", "weight reduction", and "high efficiency" are keywords for this purpose. In this paper, I would like to introduce our efforts for environmental conservation by showing examples of our latest development of bearings and related products for automobiles, machines, and other areas.
