**Automotive Parts**: **Hub Unit Bearing**: A core component installed in vehicle wheels to support loads and transmit power. Product types include Ball Bearings (Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3) and Tapered Roller Bearings (Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3). 3rd generation products feature integrated ABS sensors and are suitable for both drive and non-drive wheels. Specifically, the Tapered Roller Bearing Gen 3, designed for heavy-duty SUVs, pickup trucks, and MPVs, is an integrated hub and spline type offering improved assembly, durability, and reliability.**AutomotiveParts**:**HubUnitBearing**:Acorecomponentinstalledinvehiclewheelstosupportloadsandtransmitpower.ProducttypesincludeBallBearings(Gen1,Gen2,Gen3)andTaperedRollerBearings(Gen1,Gen2,Gen3).3rdgenerationproductsfeatureintegratedABSsensorsandaresuitableforbothdriveandnon-drivewheels.Specifically,theTaperedRollerBearingGen3,designedforheavy-dutySUVs,pickuptrucks,andMPVs,isanintegratedhubandsplinetypeofferingimprovedassembly,durability,andreliability.
**Chassis & Suspension Parts**: A range of components connecting the vehicle body and tires, supporting vehicle load, and transmitting steering and driving forces. Ball joints facilitate the vertical and rotational movement of wheels. Stabilizer links minimize roll movement during cornering, enhancing steering stability. Door checkers apply consistent friction during door opening and closing, preventing accidents and reducing load on hinges. The product lineup also includes corner modules, lower control arms, hybrid upper control arms, and tie rod ends.**Chassis&SuspensionParts**:Arangeofcomponentsconnectingthevehiclebodyandtires,supportingvehicleload,andtransmittingsteeringanddrivingforces.Balljointsfacilitatetheverticalandrotationalmovementofwheels.Stabilizerlinksminimizerollmovementduringcornering,enhancingsteeringstability.Doorcheckersapplyconsistentfrictionduringdooropeningandclosing,preventingaccidentsandreducingloadonhinges.Theproductlineupalsoincludescornermodules,lowercontrolarms,hybriduppercontrolarms,andtierodends.
**Powertrain Components**: Development and production of parts used in automotive powertrains.**PowertrainComponents**:Developmentandproductionofpartsusedinautomotivepowertrains.
**Industrial Bearings**: A product group of bearings used in various industrial sectors such as construction machinery, railway vehicles, wind power generators, and robots. Key products include railway axle bearings (for freight, high-speed, subway, electric, and light rail vehicles), cross-roller bearings (for robot arms, motors, machine tools, and medical equipment), and large angular contact ball bearings (for industrial vehicle drive/slewing reducers and robot arm reducers). The company also produces specialized bearings like those for Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) cutter rings and wind power generator yaw/pitch bearings.**IndustrialBearings**:Aproductgroupofbearingsusedinvariousindustrialsectorssuchasconstructionmachinery,railwayvehicles,windpowergenerators,androbots.Keyproductsincluderailwayaxlebearings(forfreight,high-speed,subway,electric,andlightrailvehicles),cross-rollerbearings(forrobotarms,motors,machinetools,andmedicalequipment),andlargeangularcontactballbearings(forindustrialvehicledrive/slewingreducersandrobotarmreducers).ThecompanyalsoproducesspecializedbearingslikethoseforTunnelBoringMachine(TBM)cutterringsandwindpowergeneratoryaw/pitchbearings.
