The strengths The Strengths of Oiles Bearings
in bearing technology
An extensive lineup and ample ability to offer suggestions
We offer 3 types of bearings: plastic, multi-layered, and metal
Proposing bearings and many other solutions as a development partner
Technological development
Integrated in-house support from material R&D to manufacturing
This system allows speedy development of new products and allows us to offer solutions and technical services
as a partner to meet your requirements.
PHASE 01
Material development and R&D
Development of original materials based on proprietary technologies and know-how amassed since our founding
We recently developed plant-based eco-friendly Biomass Plastic Bearings, and we lead the industry in selling high-performance bearings with a high level of biomass content.
We have also developed materials that comply with environmental laws and regulations, such as materials that comply with the Positive List for substances in contact with food under the amended Food Sanitation Act, and these materials are used in food machinery.
PHASE 02
Basic testing
Characteristics affecting strength
- Tensile strength
- Compression strength
- Bending strength
- Impact strength
- Deflection temperature under a load
- Creep properties etc.
Characteristics affecting performance
- Water absorption rate
- Water-proofing
- Oil resistance
- Grease resistance
- Calcium chloride resistance
- Coefficient of linear thermal expansion etc.
Sliding characteristics
- Coefficient of static friction
- Coefficient of kinetic friction
- Compatibility with grease
- Amount of wear
- Melting
- Noise etc.
PHASE 03
Design
Spherical joint (an example)
We also design mating components
Spherical joint (our product)
Seat (flange)
- Suggestion of shapes and materials
Flared flange
- Suggestion of shapes and materials
Springs & bolts
- Suggestion of shapes and materials
- Suggestion of spring specifications (set load, spring constant, etc.)
Struts (an example)
Thinner
More efficient use of space based on actual results and CAE strength analysis
Reduced use of space through specialized designs to match the shape of other parts as needed
Lighter weight
- Designs that maximize the advantages of plastic based on actual results and CAE strength analysis
PHASE 04
Bench/module testing
Evaluation of the characteristics and performance of individual products via bench testing
Torque characteristics
- Oscillating torque
- Starting torque
- Torque with temperature changes
- Torque with a radial load
- Torque under a heavy load etc.
Oscillation durability characteristics (including in muddy water)
- Oscillation durability characteristics under a constant load
- Oscillation durability characteristics under a vibrational load
- Oscillation durability characteristics in muddy water etc.
Load-bearing characteristics
- Vibration durability characteristics
- Heavy load durability characteristics
- Creep resistance characteristics etc.
Performance is evaluated under conditions close to those for an actual device
Torque characteristics
- Oscillating torque
- Starting torque
- Torque with temperature changes
- Torque with a radial load
- Torque under a heavy load etc.
Oscillation durability characteristics
- Oscillation durability characteristics under a constant load
- Checking for water entry during a high-pressure car wash etc.
Load-bearing characteristics
- Vibration durability characteristics
