NSK collaborates with DMG Productions to explore advancements in bearing technologies for sustainable industries

The show will educate viewers on the foundation of NSK's approach to bearing product innovations and their commitment to research and development, with ongoing investment in technologies – tribology, material engineering, numerical simulation, and mechatronics. It's this dedication that allows NSK to deliver solutions to specific application problems such as those commonly occurring in wind turbines.

"Bearing products by design reduce the amount of energy consumed to propel everything into motion, and in this particular case make a vital contribution to harvesting natural sources of energy, which all of us here at Innovations feel is extremely important to showcase," said Michael Devine, Senior Producer for the Innovations series.

As a bearing supplier to the world's leading wind turbine manufacturers, NSK developments are highly focused on performance and reliability.
