Railroad Products Company Inquiry
Brake Operating Unit for Railroad Vehicles

This system is configured as a unit with a brake operating device that plays the core role in the electric command air brake system, and the air brake valves that provide the brake cylinder pressure output for regular and emergency braking.

Door Operators for Railroad Vehicles

Comprising side-door operators and interior-door operators, the product lineup meets the needs of a wide range of applications, from ultra-low-floor light rail vehicles (LRVs) and commuter trains, to super high-speed trains. Both air-driven and electric driven systems are available. There are four door types: the pocket sliding type, the externally mounted type, the plug type and airtight doors.

Automotive Products Company Inquiry
Air Dryer for Commercial Vehicles

Trucks installed with air-brakes apply the brake using compressed air supplied from the compressor, although the water content of the compressed air can cause rust and/or freezing in any equipment in the air brake system, leading to malfunctioning of the vehicles. The air dryer acts to remove any water content from the compressed air and delivers dried air into the air brake system. Nabtesco's air dryers have been adopted by all the heavy-duty truck manufacturers in Japan.

Brake Chamber for Commercial Vehicles

In terms of brakes, there are two types of trucks: those with air-over hydraulic brakes using a hydraulically or pneumatically controlled brake system and those with full-air brake using a full air system. The brake chamber is installed in full-air brake trucks, in which the brake is applied using the pressure of compressed air through the brake chamber.

Marine Control Systems Company Inquiry
Microcomputer-Aided Remote Control System for Marine Diesel Engines

This is intended for the remote control of marine diesel engines from the ship's bridge and/or control room. It is provided with functions for the command output of marine diesel engine speed (rpm) and the monitoring of marine diesel engine conditions.

Engineering Business

In addition to products for marine vessels, the Nabtesco Marine Control Systems Company also operates an engineering business.
Auto-Connector (automatic disconnect and switching unit for tubing / wiring) automates the work of disconnecting and reconnecting tubing and wiring in the process of making tooling changes and rearranging the process line to match the timing of manufactured product changeover and other manufacturing changes in fields like iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, automobiles, chemicals, food products, and pharmaceuticals.
