NSK: Flying Car Exhibition: Motor Hub with Variable Pitch Mechanism

NSK:

We have developed a “motor hub with a variable pitch mechanism”.

It is one of the most important parts for a flying car to fly.

Supports the rotation of the propeller,
To change propulsion and lift
Adjust the orientation of the blades.
NSK bearings:

This “motor hub with variable pitch mechanism” has

NSK bearings and ball screws are used.

NSK product exhibition hall:

We exhibited the aircraft that succeeded in the flight test last year.

Introducing the internal structure of the actual mechanical unit that was actually used as a cut model.

Bearings for motors that are ideal for drones,
We will exhibit rotating bearings for adjusting the camera shooting angle.
Motor unit prototype: NSK products

High quality angular contact ball bearings,
Thrust needle bearing,
Using NSK products such as ball screws,
“A prototype motor unit that supports the rotation of the propeller and precisely changes the posture of its blades.”

It enables “flying as you wish by freely controlling propulsion and lift to move forward, backward, left and right”.

High reliability bearings for drones:

Bearings with seals that prevent water from entering even in the rain
Originally developed stainless steel bearings that do not have to worry about rust
Achieves reliability in any weather conditions.

Compact and lightweight, low friction, high speed rotation,

We are developing bearings that support flight energy saving and speeding up.
