NTN and CBC Australia have a strong and enduring partnership. Our two companies have been working closely together since the late 1960s when NTN, a Japanese manufacturer, started to look to Australian shores.

NTN makes the world smooth
Possessing more than a century of experience, NTN’s central motto is “to make the world smooth”. This is a fitting tagline as NTN are renowned for their production of anti-friction bearings, which are made smoother than the surface of a mirror.
In Australia, NTN’s quality products are used for a range of demanding applications. These include functioning in a jet engine at 200°C, high speed revolutions of 10,000 RPM and high-speed railcar running of 300 km/h.
NTN also supplies bearings for industry giants such as Komatsu, Caterpillar, Hitachi, and John Deere. Their products can be found in cranes, hydraulic excavators, asphalt pavers, motor-graders, wheel loaders, and off-highway trucks. In recent decades, NTN has also made advances in the renewable energy sector. NTN combines newly acquired Blades technology with traditional NTN bearing technology to develop compact wind turbines and micro hydroelectric turbines.
