NTN has introduced a new line of resource-efficient and lightweight wheel bearings designed to enhance performance while reducing material usage. This innovative bearing system achieves a weight reduction of approximately 10% compared to traditional models, making it more suitable for modern vehicles that prioritize fuel efficiency and environmental sustainability. The design improvements also lead to fewer burrs and chips during the manufacturing process, increasing overall production efficiency.
The outer ring of the bearing now uses 20% less material than previous versions, contributing to both cost savings and reduced environmental impact. This advancement is part of NTN's strategic goal to reach annual sales of 1 billion yen by 2010, demonstrating the company's commitment to sustainable development in the automotive industry.
In addition to the material reductions, the new bearing features a redesigned chamfered and recessed surface, which is coated with a metal oxide film to improve durability and resistance to wear. The flange has been modified to extend outward from the stud bolt, enhancing structural stability. Unlike conventional designs, this model does not use a one-piece connection in the wheel pilot section; instead, it is divided into five fixing bolts, offering better load distribution and improved safety.
This latest development highlights NTN's ongoing efforts to innovate and meet the evolving demands of the global automotive market. By focusing on lightweight construction and resource efficiency, NTN continues to set industry standards for high-performance bearings.
