Business Segment Information

NSK has two business segments, the Industrial Machinery Business and the Automotive Business.

Industrial Machinery Business

The Industrial Machinery Business is involved in operations related to two product categories, namely industrial machinery bearings and precision machinery and parts.
Industrial machinery bearings meet a wide range of demands in all industries and come in a variety of types, ranging from miniature to extra-large size. On the other hand, represented by linear motion products, such as ball screws and linear guides as well as mechatronics products such as XY Tables and MEGATORQUE MOTOR™, precision machinery products play key roles in machine tools and semiconductor/LCD production equipment, which require precise positioning. Possessing thorough knowledge of industrial characteristics, operating environments, and national/regional differences, both businesses respond appropriately to a variety of needs.

Automotive Business

The Automotive Business is developing a wide range of important functional parts that support the three critical elements of automobiles—namely running, turning and stopping—in two businesses: automotive bearings and automotive components. The automotive bearings business provides various types of bearings used in automobiles, including hub unit bearings and needle bearings. The parts provided by the automotive components business include those for automatic transmission (AT) products, electric power steering (EPS) and ball screws for electric brakes.
Amid the accelerating innovation in automobile technologies, such as power source diversification and autonomous driving, we are advancing the development of new technologies and products, creating new value and making proposals.
