"As more and more commuters turn to public transportation, NTN is always working to provide new and improved ways to assist local and worldwide transportation systems. NTN supplies a large number of tapered roller bearings for gearbox, wheel, and journal applications, as well as ceramic-coated bearings for traction-motor applications.

NTN built its foundation in the rail industry on tapered roller bearings for gearbox applications. These tapered roller bearings are made at NTN-Bower® facilities in the United States. They are designed to support both axial and radial loads, as well as to withstand excess vibration produced by small and large gears. Our standard case-carburized steel offers a forty percent longer bearing life, helping to make NTN the best in the business."
