Reliable technological capabilities

Our water lubricated bearing, which is one of the largest in Japan, was adopted for Shirase, the Ice Breaker belonging to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports. We independently developed the "FF Bearings" which are water lubricated bearings usable for large-sized vessels. Our "coating (lining) rubber for propeller shafts" is the only product in Japan that can be used for propeller shafts having a diameter of up to 20 m. Also, the coating rubber achieves excellent adhesion properties and elasticity. 
We manufacture "rubber rolls" for production lines which may be used under various harsh conditions such as load, heat, and chemicals, depending on the products to be produced. Each of our products including the above ones is produced based on our high technological capabilities, such as rubber formulation technology, rubber forming methods, and adhesion of rubber to metals, which originated from many years of technology development.

Careful and detailed development as well as responses

Each of the "water lubricated bearings" as well as "coating (lining) rubber for propeller shafts" for ships and ground pumps and the "rubber rolls" for production lines in factories is close to "one single item" developed in response to requests for various applications, such as ships and facilities, whose scale and conditions vary. The requests that we are required to meet are becoming more and more sophisticated. They include improving performance suitable for the usage environment, making the products' lives longer, and improving products' durability. In recent years, we are receiving more and more requests from foreign countries. We respond to each of the above requests by utilizing careful and detailed development as well as responses.

Producing eco-friendly products

In the future, environmental friendliness will surely be more and more important. Since our "bearings" for vessels, which are our flagship products, use water as the lubricant, they are evaluated as bearings that are more friendly to the global environment than the conventional bearings which use oil as the lubricant. As a result, our bearings are used in a lot of vessels. Furthermore, since the "FF Bearings" developed by us deliver excellent performance under heavier load, they can be used in large-sized vessels. Since the lubrication performance of the Bearings are better than that of conventional bearings, they can improve the fuel efficiency of the vessels. As can be understood from these merits, we are promoting the production of eco-friendly products.
