Minimization of Friction
ADB
ADB (Autonomous Decentralized Bearing, Patent granted) is an innovative technology which eliminates contact between loaded balls, enabling it to function without using retainers conventionally used to position the balls.
ADB has succeeded in getting rid of contact between bearing balls and retainers, significantly reducing friction.

Lubrication with Nano-Diamond Coating
The elimination of retainers have enabled us to use nano-diamond coating as lubricant.
By using nano-diamond coating, ADB has succeeded in remarkably reducing friction when compared to using conventional grease.
*Although grease is essentially unnecessary, a very small amount of grease is encapsulated in the retail version in order to increase durability.
Use of Ceramic Balls
ADB enables the achievement further minimization of friction with the use of G10 ceramic balls.
