NTN will run a booth at “Bearing2012”, the 2012 China International Bearing Industry Exhibition, with the theme “Proposing cutting-edge technology and contributing to Chinese industry”. Exhibits will include a large, dynamic cut-away model of a wind power generator (with a model nacelle of approximately 4 m in size), as well as a number of products , including the newly developed condition monitoring system for wind power generators (CMS) and various bearings for wind power generators (bearings for main shafts, gearboxes and power generators). Bearing products equipped with the latest technology designed for major industries such as rolling stock, construction machinery, and automobiles, as well as system products such as the By-Wire System Concept and other related products will also be on display. We look forward to seeing you at the event.
Main Products Being Exhibited
Products for wind power generators
A large cut-away model of a wind power generator (with a model nacelle of approximately 4 m in size) will be on display, with further information available on bearings for wind power generators available by application.
Condition Monitoring System for Wind Power Generators
A system that consists of a data collection device, measurement sensor and data control, monitoring and analysis software. The data collection device features the world's smallest class in size, allowing it to be easily installed within nacelles and applied to existing wind power generators.

Filter Seal Integrated Large Size Bearing
Preventing penetration of foreign matter contained within lubricant into the bearing extends the replacement interval of the bearings, and helps to achieve maintenance-free operation. The filter seal of the bearing features a lubricant inlet and discharge opening section fitted with a mesh filter of the appropriate size, which prevents penetration of foreign matter while limiting interference to the flow of lubricants. The filter seal has been incorporated without any changes to the outer dimensions of the bearing, which allows the bearing to be replaced at periodic replacement without any changes required to the layout around the bearing unit.
New High Speed Bearing Unit (New RCT Bearing) For Railroad Journal Applications
New technologies including a “special plastic cage”, a “spacer with rubber lip”, and a “new seal lip design” have been utilized for the bearing units for railroad journal applications. This has extended the maintenance interval period to 1.2 million km compared with the 450,000 to 600,000 km of existing designs.
Test Vehicle equipped with In-wheel Motor System for Electric Commuters
The In-wheel Motor method consists of a motor installed within the wheel of vehicles, which improves the effective use of space and flexibility in design. EV system products will be on show, including control systems such as the “In-wheel Motor System for Compact EVs”, which comprises of an inverter and hub bearing, reduction gear and motor that are now more compact and lighter to allow them to be stored within the wheel.
By-Wire System Concept
Joint research and development into next-generation EV is being conducted by NTN, which has developed technologies such as the “In-wheel Motor System”, “Electromechanical Brake System” and Steering System for “Steer-by-Wire”, and the prestigious Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Descriptions of each system will be available using concept models.
Hub Bearing for Severe Environment
The hub bearing designed for severe environments will also be exhibited, which improves resistance against load, protection against penetration of muddy water, and resistance against fretting at extremely low temperatures. The bearing is designed for use on unpaved roads often found in emerging markets.
