| Touch-pad Steering Switch | |||
| This is a steering switch simply composed of a touch pad using capacitance sensor and push-switches. It can operate various functions by selecting modes with the push-switches and by entering the state of large/small, up/down, etc. of the object with the touch pad. Blind operation (operation without looking) is possible for the touch pad as it is only necessary to stroke its surface up and down. Also, as it detects the stroking direction, no function is actuated only by touching the surface, preventing errors. The touch pad has the advantage of reliability and durability because it does not have any contact point. |
|||

| W1502 | NSK Ltd. | High seal peformance Ball bearing for Automotive Electric Motors | |
| As a result of having repeated computer analysis and seal evaluation data, NSK developed the bearing with the high seal performance which prevented the invasion of the alien substance. This product enabled extension of life and the reliability improvement of ABS control system motors or the electric throttle control motors, and run control system motors of HEV and EV. It is improvement more than ratio 10 times conventional by optimization of the length of the seal lip and a seal shape including the thickness and control the change of seal fitting change, and stabilizing seal lip anti-power and lip side pressure in seal characteristics of the bearing. In addition, NSK control the rise of the bearing torque while increasing seal fitting to give seal performance and contribute to the consumption electricity reduction of the motor. Furthermore, this enables the minute control of the motor by suppressing the dispersion of the torque. |

| Silent Needle Roller Bearing for Automotive Electrical Components | |||
| The ends of rollers (rolling element) in needle roller bearings used in automotive electric components are crowned (i.e. given a curved arc) to make the bearings able to withstand a heavy load. With the conventional crowing method, the roundness of the roller ends is inferior compared to the central part of the roller, resulting in loud noise from the bearing under conditions in which the roller has a large tilt. For this reason, in EVs and HEVs, in which the vehicle interior is extremely quiet, the operating noise of electric components that traditionally would not have been noticeable can disrupt the comfortableness of passengers. NSK improved the roundness of the roller crowning by 1/4 compared to the conventional product by developing a high-precision machining method. The level of noise (sound pressure) generated by bearings was cut to no more than 1/3 that of the conventional product. |

| NSK Develops High-Reliability, Low-Torque Ball Bearings for Continuously Variable Transmissions | |||
| There is demand to develop CVTs that offer even greater efficiency, with global prices for crude oil expected to rise and in order to meet tighter fuel efficiency standards. In addition, transmission oils are expected to become lower in viscosity and offer lean lubrication resistancein pursuit of better fuel efficiency, which will in turn necessitate bearings with higher reliability. The new bearings build on proprietary expertise that NSK has developed in the areas of special heat treatment, creep prevention, and bearing design, and incorporate a fiber-reinforced plastic cage to deliver two-and-a-half times the life of existing bearings. The use of a fiber-reinforced plastic cage reduces the agitation resistance of lubrication oil by as much as 30%, without significantly changing the rated capacity or size of the bearing. |
 |
||
| Extremely Long Life EBR Ball bearing | |||
| The extremely long life ball bearing developed for use in transmissions which achieved longer life by using strengthened rolling elements for surface originated flaking by contaminations in transmission oil. The products can reduce the bearing size about 50% (weight %) by using strengthened balls. |  |
||
| Thrust Needle Roller Bearing with raceway washers for oil flow control | |||
| The outer race of the bearing is designed to improve the ease of flow of the AT oil into the bearing. Also, holes have been added in the cage to improve oil flow. As a result, oil penetration into the bearing is 1.5 times that of the conventional part. Optimizing the balance of oil supply in the AT unit in this manner makes it possible to reduce the size of oil pumps. The newly developed partial curl type race has an integrated design that partially holds the bearing components(roller, race, cage) and improves the inner clearance of the bearing, thereby improving the durability in regard to the concern of eccentricity(axial offset) that exists with integrated thrust needle bearings. |

| Ball screw for regenerative braking system | |||
| NSK has developed rolling process and heat treatment to suppress deformation of a screw shaft and abolished grinding process of the shaft grooves after heat treatment, which is a normal process, so that we have made it possible to mass-produce a thin and hollow ball screw. It is adopted the NSK's unique mechanism to prevent balls from going a raceway other than its intended screw circuit and it helps to secure a high reliability for long periods. In addition, the ball screw is composed of a grind nut and a rolling shaft to reduce surface roughness and decrease the friction loss of the ball screw. These NSK's technology contributes to improve the controlled performance and achieves natural operation of a brake system. |
