Rallying the full power of ultra precision machining!

Bearings Our spinner bearings are specially designed in consideration of the longer spinning durations of spinners and utilize ceramic balls with low contact friction

Wheel/Ring Our spinner wheels/rings are made using the rod end bearing manufacturing technology designed for aircraft. These are also made using the strongest aluminum alloy materials from among the A7000 series to ensure the thinnest and lightest design

Holder/Nut The holders/nuts achieve the highest level of surface finish cutting by applying technologies acquired through producing medical and precision equipment

Hold space quality design and assembly in your hand!

Design To ensure they continue smoothly spinning on and on, our spinner designs are invested with the know-how acquired through space equipment design and manufacture, including angular momentum maximization and bearing torque loss reduction

Assembly Our spinners are assembled utilizing process technologies, such as precision fitting technology to assemble the parts at high precision and precision cleaning to draw out the characteristics of the bearings

Clean Our spinners are assembled and tested in the clean rooms used to produce space equipment(*1) *1 Clean rooms are ISO Class 5 (Class 100). An extremely clean environment in which there are fewer than 100 particles larger than 0.5 microns in size per 1 cubic foot
