Since 1992, NISIKI has transformed the traditional manufacturing model of electro-mechanical components to continually provide better VALUE than the nearest competitor.

• 1. Ball Bearings: Use balls to maintain the separation between the bearing races. They are commonly used in applications with lower load requirements, such as skateboards, hard drives, and electric motors.
• 2. Roller Bearings: Use cylindrical rollers instead of balls. They are designed to carry heavy radial loads but typically cannot handle significant axial loads. Types include cylindrical, needle, and tapered roller bearings.
• 3. Thrust Bearings: Specifically designed to handle axial loads. Common types are thrust ball bearings and cylindrical thrust roller bearings.
• 4. Plain Bearings: Also known as bushings, sleeve bearings, or journal bearings. They have no rolling elements and rely on a sliding motion between surfaces, often used in applications where simplicity and reliability are paramount.
• 5. Magnetic Bearings: Use magnetic fields to support moving parts without physical contact, minimizing friction and wear. They are often used in high-speed applications like turbines and compressors.

Bearings are crucial in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and electronics, ensuring the efficient operation of machinery and equipment.
