The ‘S’ suffix of the new-generation N700S bullet train stands for ‘Supreme’, signifying the progression in design, technology and comfort. Applications of this type call for highly efficient and durable bearings, along with meticulous quality control in all production processes. The demands placed on railway bearings are especially apparent in bullet trains, which transport large numbers of passengers at high speeds over long distances. High reliability is key, as is the ability to support elevated speeds, improved energy efficiency and reduced maintenance requirements. NSK bearings underpin the train’s no-compromise focus on safety, stability, comfort and environmental performance.īearings for railway applications contribute directly to safe operation and travel.
The N700S marks the start of a new era, being the first completely new Shinkansen design from the Central Japan Railway Company in 13 years. High-performance bearings from NSK are now operational in the newly developed N700S Shinkansen (bullet train), which from 1 July 2020 began service on the Tokaido Shinkansen line between Tokyo and Osaka.
