Electromechanics replace hydraulics
Osterwalder AG is replacing the formerly used hydraulic drives by servo-electric drives in its new powder presses. The power is transmitted onto the pressing tool by NSK ball screws from the HTF series.

NSK’s Added Value Programme (AIP) aims to improve efficiency, reduce breakdowns and thereby improve profitability and competitiveness during 2014 and beyond.
In addition to the low torque and low noise demands placed upon rolling bearings used in electric motors, there is now the added requirement for longer service life to conserve energy and resources.
Research and design innovation continue apace at NSK, where nearly 100 million Euros are invested each year in developing new technologies, lubricants, materials and surface engineering.
NSK has improved the
competitiveness of an OEM
manufacturer of concrete
head vibrators, by
providing a bearing
substitution and
lubrication programme
that is delivering
operating cost savings of
€306 pa on each vibrator,
plus improving operating
life and reducing maintenance
requirements, mainly for replacement
bearings.
NSK Spacea series bearings equipped with Molded Oil solid lubricant have solved a problem of premature bearing failures in a petrochemical plant in Spain. They are installed on the submerged rollers of a conveyor belt and are in contact with water, hydrocarbons and particles in suspension from the production process.
ONSK provides bearing solutions that achieve reduced weight and size and low torque for automobiles, via its four core technologies: tribology, materials, analysis and mechatronics.
NSK’s L-PPS bearing cage technology
is providing an effective solution, both
in terms of long term performance
and cost, for a compressor
manufacturer who was receiving
complaints about compressor failures

NSK has published a brochure outlining innovative bearing and material technologies to help operators of cement plants to get more operating life, improve efficiency and reduce maintenance costs under the most challenging operating conditions.
NSK’s asset improvement programme is saving the operator of a Cold Rolling Mill €16,300 annually as a result of solving a problem of bearing failure.
