It all started with a small wooden bearing.
PRODUCTS

The strengths The Strengths of Oiles Bearings

Seeking to be the leader
in bearing technology

An extensive lineup and ample ability to offer suggestions

We offer 3 types of bearings: plastic, multi-layered, and metal

Proposing bearings and many other solutions as a development partner

Technological development

Integrated in-house support from material R&D to manufacturing
This system allows speedy development of new products and allows us to offer solutions and technical services
as a partner to meet your requirements.

PHASE 01
Material development and R&D

Development of original materials based on proprietary technologies and know-how amassed since our founding

We recently developed plant-based eco-friendly Biomass Plastic Bearings, and we lead the industry in selling high-performance bearings with a high level of biomass content.
We have also developed materials that comply with environmental laws and regulations, such as materials that comply with the Positive List for substances in contact with food under the amended Food Sanitation Act, and these materials are used in food machinery.

PHASE 02
Basic testing

Characteristics affecting strength

  • Tensile strength
  • Compression strength
  • Bending strength
  • Impact strength
  • Deflection temperature under a load
  • Creep properties etc.

Characteristics affecting performance

  • Water absorption rate
  • Water-proofing
  • Oil resistance
  • Grease resistance
  • Calcium chloride resistance
  • Coefficient of linear thermal expansion etc.

Sliding characteristics

  • Coefficient of static friction
  • Coefficient of kinetic friction
  • Compatibility with grease
  • Amount of wear
  • Melting
  • Noise etc.

PHASE 03
Design

Spherical joint (an example)

We also design mating components

1 Spherical joint (our product)

2 Seat (flange)  

  • Suggestion of shapes and materials

3 Flared flange

  • Suggestion of shapes and materials

4 Springs & bolts

  • Suggestion of shapes and materials
  • Suggestion of spring specifications (set load, spring constant, etc.)

Struts (an example)

Thinner

More efficient use of space based on actual results and CAE strength analysis
Reduced use of space through specialized designs to match the shape of other parts as needed

Lighter weight

  • Designs that maximize the advantages of plastic based on actual results and CAE strength analysis

PHASE 04
Bench/module testing

Evaluation of the characteristics and performance of individual products via bench testing

Torque characteristics
  • Oscillating torque
  • Starting torque
  • Torque with temperature changes
  • Torque with a radial load
  • Torque under a heavy load etc.
Oscillation durability characteristics (including in muddy water)
  • Oscillation durability characteristics under a constant load
  • Oscillation durability characteristics under a vibrational load
  • Oscillation durability characteristics in muddy water etc.
Load-bearing characteristics
  • Vibration durability characteristics
  • Heavy load durability characteristics
  • Creep resistance characteristics etc.

Performance is evaluated under conditions close to those for an actual device

Torque characteristics
  • Oscillating torque
  • Starting torque
  • Torque with temperature changes
  • Torque with a radial load
  • Torque under a heavy load etc.
Oscillation durability characteristics
  • Oscillation durability characteristics under a constant load
  • Checking for water entry during a high-pressure car wash etc.
Load-bearing characteristics
  • Vibration durability characteristics
  • Heavy load durability characteristics
  • Creep resistance characteristics etc.

PHASE 05
Analysis and measurement

Analyses

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS)
Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR)
X-ray fluorescence (XRF)
X-ray diffraction (XRD)
Raman spectrometry

Analysis

Flow analysis

Estimation of the weld position by checking the status of filling

Estimation of the glass fiber orientation

Strength analysis

Strength analysis is performed using values for physical properties that take flow analysis into account

Topology analysis

The optimal design is explored in terms of both product strength and a lighter weight

Tribometer (multifunctional friction and wear tester)
Measurements of actual vehicles

PHASE 06
Manufacturing

Consistently supplying high quality bearings

We have an integrated production system, from material compounding to bearing manufacturing and inspection. We have production plants in five other countries with production facilities for each of a wide range of products, including plastic, multi-layered, metal, and unit products.
