NSK Ltd. (NSK; Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President and CEO: Toshihiro Uchiyama) announced that its product series won a machinery award at the 2016 CHO MONOZUKURI Innovative Parts and Components Awards.
The award-winning NH Series and NS Series have a lifespan double that of conventional products due to the application of a new ball groove. These products and the technology behind them earned recognition for contributing to longer equipment lifespans and smaller equipment size.

This award was established in 2004 as a way to rediscover the power of Japanese manufacturing as the unsung hero that contributes to Japanese industries and society, recognizing parts and components that contribute to Japanese manufacturing. The award focuses on six fields: machinery, automobiles, electrical/electronic equipment, environmental, health/medical equipment, and daily living.
