Manual Transmission
Manual transmissions must adequately meet driver expectations of control by conveying a smooth, precise and crisp feeling. Transmissions must also be compact, lightweight, and be able to deliver excellent fuel efficiency for the increased number of gears that are appearing in new vehicles.
The bearings and synchronized parts created by NSK play a key role in supporting the future of manual transmissions with their unsurpassed reliability and capability developed with tribology technology.
Long Life Sealed-Clean Ball Bearings
Long life has been achieved by specially designed seals for transmissions.
The seals prevent ingress of contaminants in the oil. Size reductions from standard open type bearings can be achieved.
High Thrust Capacity Cylindrical Roller Bearings
High capacity cylindrical roller bearings for radial load, as well as axial load from gear meshing.
Quick-Assembly Tapered (QAT) Roller Bearings
Superior roller stability after assembling the cup and the cone achieves quick and high precision preload setting.
The set preload is maintained at higher levels for longer periods.
Needle Roller & Plastic Cage Radial Assemblies
Reduced weight and costs have been achieved by using plastic cages with superior oil and heat resistance.
Split Needle Roller & Plastic Cage Radial Assemblies
Best for preventing fretting generated at the time of non-relative rotation between gear and shaft.
Light Weight and Low Costs TKZ Type Clutch Release Bearings
Self-centering clutch release bearings with reduced weight and costs have been achieved by reducing the number of parts combined with press technology.
Synchroniser Steel Cones
Reduced costs have been achieved by using original material that allows for press forming and through-hardening. Superior friction characteristics from precision taper surface processing technology contribute to smoother shifting.
