Low torque technology transfer

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.

These solutions are said to reduce power consumption and emissions, and enable more efficient integration of the engine and electrical system or electric motors for hybrid vehicles.

Technology transfer can also bring the same low torque, low power benefits to general purpose bearings used in all areas of industrial production, MRO, construction, quarrying, mining and domestic appliances. NSK is also working on calculations to quantify energy and cost savings when low torque bearings are applied over standard.
