(1)In-Wheel Motor System
(2)One Motor Type EV Drive System
(3)Integrated Rotation Sensor Sliding Bearing
(4)Hydrodynamic Twin Bearphite

Main exhibits
In-Wheel Motor System(see here for more details)
NTN's unique next-generation drivetrain for EVs

[ Features ]
· An in-wheel motor unit with a high reduction ratio, efficiency and load capacity by combining a cycloid speed reduction mechanism with a compact, lightweight motor.

· An integrated multi axis load sensor enables detection of vehicle behavior from the tires, which allows road conditions to be detected and the vehicle to be controlled simultaneously.

· The drivetrain of conventional internal combustion engine-powered cars is no longer required, providing more freedom for car designs.



Integrated Rotation Sensor Sliding Bearing(see here for more details)
With integrated resin sliding bearing

[ Features ]
· Combines an integrated resin sliding bearing and a magnetic type rotation sensor in a single easy-to-use unit, allowing for more compact designs for various equipment and devices.

· The use of flexible connectors means wiring direction can be selected at will.

· A wide range of input voltages (3 - 26 V) means it can be used for various machinery and specifications.

· No restrictions to the shape of the bearing and product outer diameter, meaning the product can be fully customized.



Hydrodynamic Twin Bearphite(see here for more details)
Lower torque by optimizing hydrodynamic bearing surfaces in two areas and the space between them

[ Features ]
· An optimized design of the space between the hydrodynamic Bearphite inner diameter surfaces to achieve a 10% reduction in rotating torque compared to conventional products.

· Non-contact support for the rotational axis with hydrodynamic effects delivers outstanding quietness and high reliability.

· Press fitting is now possible with the outer diameter surfaces of the Hydrodynamic Bearphite for simple assembly to housings.
