JTEKT subsidiary begins mass production of ultra-high precision bearings at new factory

April 20, 2020

New plant in Osaka to produce PRECILENCE bearings for precision and space applications

In April 2020, DAIBEA, a subsidiary of JTEKT, commenced operations at a newly constructed factory in Izumi City, Osaka. The facility has a total floor area of 3,009 square meters and is dedicated to the mass production of the ultra-high precision bearing “PRECILENCE,” jointly developed by JTEKT and DAIBEA.

PRECILENCE offers one-fourth the rotation accuracy of conventional bearings by thoroughly refining the precision of each individual bearing component. The vibration level has also been reduced to approximately half that of existing models. By adopting high-durability nitrogen stainless steel for the bearing rings, the maximum rotation speed has been improved by about 30%.

PRECILENCE is designed for use in precision machining equipment and space-related devices. DAIBEA has set a sales target of 2 billion yen by 2025.

In addition, the DAIBEA Group plans to reinforce its production system by constructing a bearing turning facility for group company Midtec on the same premises and integrating it with suppliers.
