NSK adds Manufacturing Engineering to its core focus areas! For many years NSK has focused its development competence on the company’s four core technologies of tribology, simulation/analysis, mechatronics and materials engineering. Now, these core areas are being joined by a fifth: manufacturing engineering. The move to ‘four core technologies plus one’, highlights the increasing importance of optimized machines, systems and equipment in the manufacture of high-quality bearings. Moreover, through this addition NSK is acknowledging the growing influence of global trends such as IoT, Industry 4.0 and artificial intelligence (AI). NSK plants are now sporting fully integrated solutions with leading technologies and we are home to dedicated R&D efforts to further advance the capabilities of manufacturing systems.

Recycling plant saves over $60,000 per year with NSK mounted bearings A recycling plant that was experiencing regular failures of mounted bearings on the conveyor of an optical sorting machine is enjoying major gains following the switch to NSK SNN series plummer blocks fitted with NSKHPS spherical roller bearings. Thanks to the reduction in replacement bearing costs, breakdowns and maintenance, the facility is saving $60,502 per year.

NSK spherical roller bearings with TL technology are being increasingly adopted in the papermaking industry as more machinery manufacturers and paper mills seek to maximize operating life and uptime. The unique attributes of NSK’s TL (tough and long life) specification is proven to provide greater resistance to hoop stress, subsequently reducing inner ring fractures and delivering service life more than twice that of conventional bearings with standard heat treatment This translates to significant environmental savings since reducing units over time drastically reduces material and energy usage.

NSK Group employees at NSK-Warner Indonesia and AKS Precision Ball Indonesia join 16 partner companies to plant 72,000 mangrove trees in Indonesia. Note: Photos are from pre-pandemic planting event. For three years running the companies have taken to the mud flats near Muara Gembong (West Java, Indonesia) to assist a mangrove reforestation project. The team also visits the forest every six months to check and manage the land to ensure the trees are growing properly. Over 72,000 trees have been planted in three years. Mangrove trees move carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into long-term storage in greater quantities than other trees, making them "among the planet's best carbon scrubbers" according to a NASA-led study. #NSK #Indonesia #Environment #Mangrove #Reforestation #Volunteering

NSK Kielce Plant Cuts CO2 Emissions with LED Lighting Replacement Project Although LED lighting has quickly made headways in the home, many commercial facilities, office buildings, and manufacturing plants have yet to adopt LEDs for a number of reasons, such as existing lighting systems lasting many years. Cost, of course, is also a factor, but in order to meet NSK Group’s environmental goals, over the past two years, Kielce Plant replaced a total of 3608 fluorescent and mercury lamps with LED lamps resulting in an annual reduction in CO2 emissions of 811 tonnes in FY19, which is expected to increase by a further 540 tonnes in FY20 as the replacement program completes. The LED lamps also have a much longer lifespan thus reducing on-going maintenance costs, waste volumes, and disruption of operations. #NSK #Environment #BeyondNetZero #LED #CO2
