The partnership is expected to have a significant impact on the bearing industry, as it will drive innovation and competition. Customers are likely to benefit from the development of more sustainable and environmentally friendly bearings, which could lead to improved performance and reduced environmental impact.

Thrust Bearings: Thrust bearings are designed to support axial loads and provide high axial rigidity. They come in various configurations, including ball thrust bearings, roller thrust bearings, and fluid thrust bearings. Thrust bearings are commonly used in applications such as automotive transmissions, machine tool spindles, and aerospace equipment, where axial load support and precise motion control are critical.
