1unit can        Long-Term Maintenance Free                                                             Cost Down

achieve:

                                                   We want to reduce the workload and cost of replenishing oil and grease…
                                                   We want to eliminate piping for oil supply…
                                                   We cannot suspend our production line for replenishing oil…

A lubrication system equipped with the NSK K1 lubrication unit is maintenance
free for more than five years or 10 000 kilometers.

Conventional system                                                                    New lubrication system
                                                                                       Using the NSK K1 lubrication unit
Supplying oil using a lubrication unit and centralized
piping

                                                                          NSK K1

Advantages:                    • A reduction in expenditure on oil or grease cost by making it unnecessary to replenish lubricants
                                 for an extended period

                               • A reduction in personnel costs for regular maintenance
                               • A reduction in the cost of designing and replenishing piping or equipment, parts expenditures,

                                 and lead time for assembly
                               • A reduction in the cost for coolants and in processing oil waste

                                 (No lubricant contamination  Prolonged life of coolants)
