Gentle to The Earth
Nippon Thompson Co., Ltd. is working to develop global
environment-friendly products.
It is committed to developing products that make its
customer's machinery and equipment more reliable, Gentle to The Earth
thereby contributing to preserving the global environment.
This development stance manifests well in the keyword
"Oil Minimum".
Our pursuit of Oil Minimum has led to the creation of ’s
proprietary family of lubricating parts as "C-Lube".
"C-Lube" minimizes usage of lubrication oil and supplies the
optimal amount of lubrication oil for long period of time. So it
realizes long term maintenance free and contributes to the
global environment preservation.
The "Interchangeable" is a result of our consideration
to the environment and radical pursuit of
elimination of material and inventory waste.
Interchangeable is a collective name of "systems of products selection
from users' perspective" which allows free interchange and replacement
totally retaining the accuracy and preload of slide units and track rails.
The integration of maintenance free and
advanced interchangeable system with
C-Lube is the "Free & Interchangeable".

Hybrid C-Lube Linear Way ML
ML···/HB
While maintenance free performance of C-Lube Linear Way
ML is maintained, the silicon nitride ceramics ball improves
high-speed performance and reduces noise level. Performance
Ceramics has more resistance to deformation and more
rigidity than bearing steel and stainless steel. More than three times durability Noise reduction by about 4.5 dB
