There is a growing need to reduce torque loss in the bearings used in the transmissions of the new generation hybrid cars. NSK Low-Torque Ball Bearings for Hybrid Vehicle Transmissions enable a 50-65% improvement in frictional loss compared to conventional bearings, contributing therefore to improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions.
Product Features
Number of balls dramatically reduced
Optimization of ball diameter, race dimensions and clearances using special analysis technology
Specially shaped cages made in resin
Benefits
Torque reduction of 50-65% compared to conventional bearings
Lubrication oils agitated through the introduction of the specially shaped cages, leading to significant improvement in frictional loss
