Driving the Future: NMT Automotive Bearings & Electrification Solutions
The automotive industry is undergoing its most significant transformation in a century. The shift towards Electrification, autonomous driving, and enhanced safety features requires a new generation of components that are lighter, more efficient, and incredibly reliable. NMT has been a trusted partner to the global automotive industry, supplying essential bearings and components that keep the world moving.
Safety and Control: Electric Power Steering (EPS)
As vehicles become more automated, the reliability of the steering system is a matter of life and death. NMT’s bearings for Electric Power Steering systems are designed for ultra-low friction and silent operation. These components must respond instantly to driver inputs and autonomous commands. NMT utilizes specialized grease and sealing technologies to ensure that these bearings perform flawlessly in all weather conditions, providing the tactile feedback drivers need.
The Connection to the Road: Hub Unit Bearings
The Hub Unit Bearing is the critical link between the vehicle and the road. It supports the entire weight of the car while enduring lateral forces during cornering. NMT’s 3rd and 4th generation hub units integrate ABS sensors directly into the bearing seal, providing real-time wheel speed data essential for Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). Our latest designs focus on downsizing and weight reduction to improve fuel efficiency without compromising strength.
Powertrain Efficiency: Transmission and Differential
Whether it is a traditional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) or a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV), power must be transferred efficiently.
For ICE & Hybrids: NMT supplies bearings for manual and automatic transmissions, as well as the Toroidal CVT POWERTOROS Unit, a unique technology that offers smooth, step-less gear changes.
For EVs: Electric motors spin at much higher speeds than engines. NMT’s bearings for EV differentials and motors are engineered to handle high-frequency currents and prevent electrical erosion, ensuring long life and quiet operation.
