Hub Unit Bearings
Overview
Hub unit bearings have to meet increasingly strict requirements that demand lighter weight, greater promotion of fuel efficiency, and enhanced module production systems. Along with the widespread adoption of antilock braking systems (ABS) to ensure stable maneuverability during braking, there is a growing need for our hub unit bearings with a built-in sensor. NSK guarantees high quality of all of our products by repeated, rigorous bench testing and other checks that take full advantage of our cutting-edge technology, which only the top-bearing maker can offer. NSK offers compact and lightweight hub unit bearings with built-in ABS sensors.

Product List
Electrification Products
Our low-friction hub unit bearing for EV delivers world-top-class low friction performance and superb reliability. Lower friction in the bearing contributes to higher automotive energy efficiency and contributes to increasing the maximum single-charge travel distance of EV.
An angular passive sensor is located in the radial space between the swaged shaft end and sensor cover.
Featured
- Compact size attained by utilizing the space inside the bearing.
- Improvement of reliability by sealing the sensor part.
- Integral high-output sensor.
- Small fluctuation output by elastic deformation of bearing.
The ABS sensor is located between the rows with a very small air gap.
Featured
- Compact size achieved by utilizing the space inside the bearing.
- Improved reliability by sealing the sensor part.
- Integral sensor for driven wheels.
