Since becoming Japan’s first maker of needle roller bearings in 1959, Nippon Thompson has established a world-class reputation as an innovative producer of high-quality, precision bearing products. Using their expertise and technology through years of experience producing needle roller bearings, they have developed a line of motion rolling guides units that combine carriages and track rails. Since the introduction of their first linear motion rolling guide unit, or Linear Way in 1978, these products have become important components of industrial robots, numerically machine tools, and other sophisticated equipment used in the semiconductor industry. Especially for these high demanding applications, Nippon Thompson developed a wide range of products made in stainless steel and fitted with special lubrication, suitable for clean room environments. #ukmanufacturing
