NTN Corporation (hereafter, NTN) is pleased to announce the release of a new introductory video, “How Bearings are Made,” now available on YouTube. This video was created to help a wide range of stakeholders—including customers, business partners, students, and the public—gain a deeper understanding of bearings, one of NTN’s core products.
The video showcases the production of NTN’s core product—bearings—through a combination of real footage from the manufacturing site and animations.

- “I never realized how much advanced technology and intricate processes go into something that looks so simple.”
- “The realistic scenes from the factory conveyed the depth of manufacturing!”
