Development Capabilities Pat1 Pat 2 Pat 3 Pat 4 Pat 5 Pat 6 Pat 7 Pat 8 NSK s key technology NSK s key technology is Tibology, the science of fiction and wea. Tibology is a technology that focuses on saving enegy and conseving esouces by educing fiction and wea as well as peventing machine failue and theeby inceasing eliability. NSK pomotes the development of new poducts with a focus on fou coe technologies deived fom Tibology. Analysis Technology NSK developed its own softwae, BRAIN (Beaing Analysis In NSK), which enables digital simulations of fiction-elated movement and pefomance by applying Tibology. The combined use of this simulation data with an effective facto method (EFM) ealizes advanced compute-aided engineeing (CAE). Lubication Technology Though the elentless application of Tibology, NSK s key technology, NSK has pusued lubication technologies that allow machines to delive maximum pefomance and NSK s accomplishments in these effots contibute to saving enegy and esouces, theeby conseving the global envionment. Evaluation Technology NSK has established an evaluation technology that spans a wide ange of applications by employing advanced technologies such as nano-ode unout measuement using ulta high-pecision measuing instuments. Ou evaluation technology contibutes to the development of cutting-edge poducts that coespond with inceasingly sophisticated maket needs. Mateial Technology Reseach and development acoss a wide ange of mateial technologies has been conducted to poduce eve-highe pefoming poducts.

Metallugical Technologies to Extend Beaing Life Pat 1 Pat2 Pat 3 Pat 4 Pat 5 Pat 6 Pat 7 Pat 8 Thee types of steel mateials suppot the long life and high pefomance of NSK supe-pecision beaings NSK has established goundbeaking evaluation techniques fo inclusions in steel and steel-making pocedues. These technologies make it possible to develop mateials fo long-life, high-pefomance olling beaings. Thee types of steel mateials SHX steel that withstands ulta high-speed otation envionments, EP steel that exhibits high eliability unde heavy load envionments, and Z steel that achieves extended opeation life unde geneal conditions suppot NSK supe-pecision beaings. Z Steel as a Standad Mateial fo Supe-Pecision Beaings Z Steel Life, L Cycle 8 7 6 0 Standad Long Life Mateial 1.8 Times Longe Fatigue Life than Conventional Vacuum Degassed Steel It is well known that the olling fatigue life of high cabon chome beaing steel (SAE520, SUJ2) used fo olling beaings is significantly affected by non-metallic inclusions. Life tests show that oxide non-metallic inclusions exet a paticulaly advese affect on olling fatigue life. Z Steel, with lowe oxide non-metallic inclusions, exhibits impoved pefomance. Featues of Z Steel Z Steel is poduced by educing non-metallic inclusions, oxides and othe inclusions such as Ti, o S, inside the steel. Beaings made of this steel delive significantly extended sevice life, up to 1.8 times longe, compaed to conventional vacuum degassed steel.

Featues of EP Steel Beaings made fom EP Steel exhibit inceased eliability due to minimal vaiation in life esulting fom the new evaluation technique and significantly educed impuities. The establishment of a new evaluation technique NSK established the NSK-ISD2 Method, an image analysis system and a special steel-making pocedue, to impove the evaluation of oxide non-metallic inclusions. Impovement of steel-making pocedues The intoduction of this technique into steel manufactuing technology significantly impoved puity and educed nonmetallic inclusions compaed to Z Steel.

Ceamic Rolling Elements Pat 1 Pat2 Pat 3 Pat 4 Pat 5 Pat 6 Pat 7 Pat 8 Less heat is geneated, making possible ulta high-speed otation. Ceamic hybid beaings have many excellent pefomance chaacteistics such as heat esistance, extended life, light weight, lowe themal expansion, electically non-conductive, and thus can be used in an infinite numbe of applications as a new geneation mateial. Ealy on NSK s knowledge of mateials and beaing manufactuing led us to utilize one ceamic in paticula, silicon nitide (Si 3 N 4 ), fo the olling elements in ceamic hybid beaings. Hybid beaings with ceamic elements have eaned a good eputation in the field fo ulta high speed combined with ulta high accuacy, a pefomance combination that is not achievable in beaings with steel olling elements.

Low coefficient of linea expansion In applications involving high speed opeation, although the tempeatue of the beaing is high, this low coefficient esults in lowe peload and lowe heat geneation. Low fiction The slip of the olling element duing opeation is educed, and this means less heat is geneated. Calculated esult of heat geneation 500 500 Less heat is geneated, making possible ulta highspeed otation.

In designing the spindle, it is necessay to detemine which pefomance facto is most impotant. Fo example, deciding if the otational speed is moe impotant than the igidity, o vice vesa.

Afte the pefomance analysis of the main shaft has been completed, the next step is to detemine the stuctue of Beaing Type Dive Type the main shaft. To detemine the optimum stuctue, consideation must be given to each individual component: the 2 Main Shaft Stuctue Beaing Aangement Lubication beaing design (ball beaing o olle beaing); combination (the numbe of ows); type of dive (belt, gea, coupling o integal moto); and lubication system (gease, oil-ai, oil mist, o jet).

FEATURES OF ANGULAR CONTACT BALL BEARINGS Pat 1 Pat 2 Pat3 Pat 4 Pat 5 Pat 6 Pat 7 Pat 8 The main featues of the Angula Contact Ball Beaing (ACBB) A pedefined contact angle They ae used in matched combinations with peload In selecting Angula Contact Ball Beaings, it is impotant to conside the above two featues, as each angula contol ball beaing has specific featues and pefomance. Be sue to caefully conside the effects of changes in contact angle and peload on pefomance so that you select the ACBB that is best suited to the application. The following gaphs summaize the elative pefomance of each type of ACBB (by seies and dimensional seies), depending on the contact angle, peload, and combination. The Effect of Contact Angle As the contact angle inceases, Angula Contact Ball Beaings have a highe axial load capacity, but a lowe speed capability. Thus, the ACBB with a smalle contact angle is bette suited fo high speed and high adial load applications. The figue below compaes the igidity, limiting speed and tempeatue ise of a 7020 Angula Contact Ball Beaing with diffeent contact angles: C angle (15 ), A5 angle (25 ) and A angle (30 ). Unde the same light peload level (L), the beaing with C angle has highe adial igidity with lowe tempeatue ise elative to the beaing with A angle. The beaing with A angle has the highest axial igidity, thee times highe than that of the beaing with C angle, but the limiting speed is lowe than the othes.

As peload inceases, the igidity inceases but the speed capability deceases. NSK has defined standad peload levels as Exta Light (EL), Light (L), Medium (M) and Heavy (H). The figue below compaes the pefomance of a 7020CDB with each peload level. Even if the contact angle is held constant, when the peload is lage, both axial and adial igidity ae inceased. Howeve the tempeatue also ises, so the limiting speed and calculated life become lowe. In ode to maintain high igidity, it is necessay to sacifice highe speed. Similaly to accomplish highe speed, it is necessay to sacifice high igidity. Caution must be execised. If too high a peload is combined with high opeation speed, thee is a possibility of seizue.
