About NSK
NSK manufactures bearings, ball screws, linear guides and precision machinery components for automotive and industrial systems. These products support rotation, linear motion and positioning inside robot joints, actuators, machine tools and factory equipment.
Robot applications use compact and high-rigidity bearings for articulated axes, while ball screws and guides convert motor rotation into controlled linear travel. NSK engineers lubrication, sealing, preload and materials around load, accuracy, speed and service-life requirements. The company supplies standard components, application selection and production support to robot and machinery manufacturers worldwide.
