NSK Ltd. (NSK; Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; President and CEO: Toshihiro Uchiyama) will exhibit its products and technologies at Auto Shanghai 2019, to be held at National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai, China, from April 16–25, 2019.
NSK's theme for this year's show is “Innovation Beyond Imagination” featuring the fruits of our R&D efforts and Four Core Technologies™ for the next generation of electric vehicles (EV) and new energy vehicles (NEV). NSK technology improves stability, reduces fuel consumption, and creates a remarkable driving experience.
“Such a free range of motion that you might think it alive.”
· Suspension system with 5 independently moving actuators (per wheel) enabling optimal suspension geometry throughout.
· The actuators are able to be repositioned (extend, contract, etc.), making it possible to change the vehicle wheelbase. The shorter the distance between front and rear wheels, the tighter a vehicle can turn, which also makes it easier to parallel park.
· Further, the Parallel Link type Active Suspension can reduce vibrations while driving, and delivers a much wider range of motion through all four wheels. This technology will be the hands and feet in both electric and conventional vehicles.
his next-generation drive system developed by NSK provides driving power from within the wheel itself. There are many benefits to miniaturizing the motor and embedding it directly into the wheel such as higher efficiency, improved safety, and improved control (steering). NSK's technology features a two motor system, which can be controlled in tandem to change gears through a mini internal transmission mechanism. This second-gen version features a new design which is 30% thinner than the previous model, making it easier to incorporate.
The Traction Reducer conveys rotational force through a special oil which hardens for just an instant when compressed. This allows the drive to run quietly regardless of the torque or rotation speed. By pairing this ground breaking traction reducer with a high speed traction motor, electric drive systems can be even further reduced in size and weight. The smooth motion of the Traction Reducer also contributes to better fuel economy in electric vehicles.
