- Sustainability
- Smoothness
- Perseverance and perseverance
- Flexibility
- Technologies
A surprisingly large number of bearings can be found all around us. Take automobiles, for example: there are 100 to 150 bearings in a typical car. Without bearings, the wheels would rattle, the transmission gear teeth wouldn’t be able to mesh, and the car wouldn’t run smoothly.
https://www.nsk.com/company/vision/bearings.html
Bearings are not used only in cars, but in all kinds of machinery such as:
- trains
- airplanes
- washing machines
- refrigerators
- air conditioners
- vacuum cleaners
- photocopy machines
- computers
- satellites
Bearings enhance the functionality of machinery and help to save energy. Bearings do their work silently, in tough environments, hidden in machinery where we can’t see them. Nevertheless, bearings are crucial for the stable operation of machinery and for ensuring its top performance.
The word “bearing” incorporates the meaning of “to bear,” in the sense of “to support,” and “to carry a burden.” This refers to the fact that bearings support and carry the burden of revolving axles.
https://www.nsk.com/company/introduction/index.html
NSK bearings are used in over 200 000 different products. Bearings of different sizes are produced: from miniature bearings with an outer diameter of 2 mm, used in ultra-compact motors to bearings with an outer diameter of 6 meters used in giant machines for digging tunels. NSK produces bearings for dental machines that spin at high speeds up to 400,000 rpm. The bearings used in steel-production equipment are made for extremely harsh working conditions – they can be exposed to temperatures above 1000 °C and be subjected to repeated heating and cooling temperature fluctuations. Bearings used in wind turbines need to withstand a minimum of 20 years of usage without claim.
