Usable without rusting even in a salty atmosphere!

At Iida Manufacturing Co., Ltd., we handle "fluororesin bearings" developed with the goal of reducing maintenance frequency during long-term use without lubricants under harsh operating conditions, primarily using fluororesin (PTFE) as the main material. They can be used in extreme environments, such as high temperatures above 200 degrees and strong acids or strong alkalis. 【Features】 ■ Rust-free ■ Resistant to chemicals and heat ■ Achieves lightweight and low torque *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Now available with great reviews! Introducing resin bearings suitable for outdoor use and sanitary environments!

【Features of the Technology】 Achieved "cylindrical" fluororesin bearings. The load contact point changes from "sphere" to "cylindrical," making it suitable for areas where dirt needs to be avoided under light loads, where hygiene is a priority, and where maintenance frequency needs to be reduced, particularly in underwater applications, saltwater applications, and food machinery applications. 【Product Specifications】 1. Aimed at creating a durable, maintenance-free, and oil-free rotating system. 2. Developed as a cylindrical bearing based on self-lubricating resin materials. 3. Applicable even in remote outdoor environments where rust and degradation are concerns due to de-icing agents. 【Achievements】 GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2020 for the resin bearing "Aqua Bearing."

• Plastic bearings

A masterpiece created by leveraging years of experience and technology specialized in fluororesin!

We are pleased to announce that our "resin bearings" have received the Good Design Award in 2020. This product is developed with the goal of reducing permanent rolling friction resistance, using fluororesin (PTFE) as the main material, which excels in weather resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance, and electrical properties. It is designed for long-term use without lubricants under harsh conditions, aiming to reduce maintenance frequency. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

● This is a leak testing device for small electronic components that does not use fluorinated inert liquids (PFAS-free). ● There is no longer a need for unstable visual confirmation through liquid immersion testing. It adopts a quantitative testing method that allows for stable pressure leak testing. ● It is a tabletop leak testing device specifically for gross leaks, with accuracy equal to or greater than that of liquid immersion testing. ● The detectable range is approximately 1×10⁻² Pa·m³/s to 1×10⁻⁶ Pa·m³/s (varies depending on the target product). ● It is suitable for sealed structures ranging from a few millimeters to a maximum of 80 × 70 mm. Please feel free to contact us for more information!

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

Based on practical experience in support companies and business companies, SBS Marketing Co., Ltd. provides consulting services related to marketing, sales promotion, and customer acquisition primarily in the BtoB (business-to-business) sector. On December 11, 2025 (Thursday), they published a page titled "Does It Deteriorate Organizational Strength and Lead to 'Internal Collapse'!? 'Sabotage Manual'". The "Sabotage Manual" is a document that outlines methods for undermining organizational strength, created by a spy who infiltrated an opposing organization. This handbook for intelligence agents explains its contents, the risk factors for organizational collapse that also apply to corporate organizations, and how to paradoxically utilize this document as hints for "building a resilient organization." (Page Overview: Excerpts) ■ What is the "Sabotage Manual"? ■ What is the content of the "Sabotage Manual"? ■ Specific examples of the "Sabotage Manual" in modern business ■ Methods for "building a resilient organization" learned from the "Sabotage Manual" (DL content only) ▼ For more details, please visit this page. https://sbsmarketing.co.jp/blog/sabotage-manual-2025-12/
