NSK Bearings in Hybrid Vehicles
The market for Hybrid Transmissions has been growing strongly over the last decade, together with the straightening CO2 regulations worldwide.
Hybrid Transmissions run under very specific operating conditions such asultra-high speeds using large size motors and generators or low-viscosity oil. Because conventional products would not fulfil these specific requirements, our latest innovations in this area enable the hybrid systems to reach the highest possible efficiency, bringing performance, low-friction and long-life together.
As a leading bearing supplier for Hybrid Transmissions, we will keep developing new concepts based on NSK four core technologies: Tribology, Material Engineering, Analysis Technology and Mechatronics.
Low-torque ball bearing for Hybrid Vehicles
NSK new Low-Torque Ball Bearing enables a 50-65% improvement in frictional loss compared to conventional products
