Major Exhibits

ACOUS NAVI™ Condition Monitoring & Diagnostic Software

Benefits: Visualization of critical information

ACOUS NAVI was born nearly two decades ago as an internal tool for our engineers to monitor and analyze bearing condition. ACOUS NAVI is trusted by experienced technicians for its ability to quickly and easily analyze the health of equipment and machinery. Despite its advanced analysis capabilities, the software has been designed so that even new hires can quickly understand and apply the available tools.

ACOUS NAVI enables and facilitates the implementation of preventative maintenance and condition monitoring systems, providing customers with the information they need to troubleshoot problems and keep operations running smoothly.

Ultra-High-Speed Angular Contact Ball Bearings With New SURSAVE™ Cage

Ultra-High-Speed Angular Contact Ball Bearings With New SURSAVE Cage
Benefits: Improved machining performance, energy savings
  • Reduced NRRO by 50% during high-speed operation.
  • Reduced torque by 20%. Lower torque contributes to energy savings and lower heat generation.
  • Achieved high-speed performance of dmn 3 million.

Air Bearing Spindle With Ultra-High-Speed Air Turbine

Benefits: Improved machining performance
  • Ultra-high speeds (MAX 120,000min-1) achieved with high-efficiency air turbine.
  • Ultra-low NRRO (0.05µm) achieved with high-precision air bearing design.

High Durability Precision Ball Screws

High-Speed Low-Noise Ball Screws
Benefits: Long term, stable operation
  • High resistance to wear with new surface processing technology applied to raceway.
  • Maintains accuracy life over more work (longer life with high positioning accuracy).
  • Contributes to maintenance-free operation over longer periods.

Highly Dust-Resistant V1 Seals & V1 Bottom Seals for Roller Guides

Highly Dust-Resistant V1 Seals & V1 Bottom Seals for Roller Guides
Benefits: Improved machining performance, energy savings
  • Optimized seal lip design simultaneously achieves high dust resistance and low friction.
  • Made with highly wear-resistant material for long-term sealing performance.

Feature Exhibit - NSK HOOP

Feature Exhibit - NSK HOOP

NSK's XY-table technology puts on a show skillfully “hula hooping” a ring with impeccable precision. The complex performance would typically call for an array of sensors to guide the motion, but NSK's advanced control technology makes the display possible without a single sensor.
