Targeting the automotive market
As a professional bearing manufacturing factory in the field of driving, we offer a wide range of products and are committed to reducing fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions.
In addition to basic products such as wheel hub bearings, drive shafts, and various types of bearings, we also provide high-performance modular products by combining peripheral components and integrating our own core technologies, contributing to the creation of safe, secure, and comfortable future cars.
The main bearing products are shown in the following figure
Regarding wheel hub bearings and drive shafts
Wheel hub bearings and drive shafts account for approximately 80% of the automotive market sales. These products will continue to be used in the era of electric vehicles (EVs).
Wheel hub bearing
Efficient rotation of the wheels is crucial during the operation of a car. Wheel hub bearings not only bear the weight of the vehicle, but also drive the rotation of the tires, making them key components in automobiles. Our high-quality wheel hub bearings are highly integrated, achieving small and lightweight design by reducing the number of components. This not only reduces fuel consumption but also improves safety.
Drive shaft
This is a component that transmits the power of the engine or motor to the tires. We have been leading the industry development with our technological strength, led by the automotive field, and also providing various small, lightweight, and long-life drive shaft products for various industrial machinery such as steel machinery and food machinery.
Advantages of our automotive bearings
Borrowing the East Wind of Vehicle Electrification and EV Transformation
With the electrification of the automotive market, the demand for various components is also changing. We view electrification as a business opportunity to leverage our technological advantages and expand our business by developing high value-added products that meet EV needs.
Strengthen basic technologies and products
We have a high market share in the global market for basic products such as wheel hub bearings, drive shafts, and other bearings. Based on deepening our existing technological accumulation, we will actively respond to the unique needs of EVs. In order to extend the range of EVs, the market's demand for wheel hub bearings is shifting towards "low friction" and "lightweight" that can reduce energy consumption.
For the drive shaft, in addition to being lightweight, it is also required to have "high efficiency" (transmitting motor torque to the wheels without damage) and "low vibration" and "silent" characteristics (improving ride comfort). In addition, in order to generate sufficient torque for the motor, bearings that can adapt to high-speed rotation of the motor are also required.
Our automotive bearings are currently providing products that meet the above needs, and we will anticipate changes in demand and continue product development in the future.
Expand into new fields
We are accelerating the development of high-performance modular products. The "electric motor/actuator" combines bearings, ball screws, motor design, and electronic control technology. As an electronically controllable linear/rotary actuator, it has contributed to the electrification of components such as oil pumps and brakes. In addition, we are committed to developing products that combine motors, generators, steering assistance functions, etc. on wheel hub bearings, striving to contribute to the future of autonomous driving.
