Research Department
- Anti-Vibration Business Field
- Anti-vibration technology that supresses the vibrations passed from the engine and road surface supports comfort within the automobile. In addition to developing the shapes, characteristics and functions of Vibration Control Parts, we are also involved in a wide range of innovative and practical research into such areas as hybrid isolators that utilize liquid and gas.
- Hose Business Fields
- Hoses are indispensable components for connecting suction, fuel and water pipes, and we develop materials that match up to each application. We not only supply rubber hoses, but also resin and other materials combined with, and joined to rubber. Through our research we are putting these materials to practical use.
- New Business Fields
- Based on our extensive automotive experience we are able to offer advanced technologies to industries outside our tradtional core. We offer solutions to, industrial, off-road, construction and many other evolving areas which require our expertise.

Vibration characteristic measurement units that provide formidable ways of developing anti-vibration functions
High-function anti-vibration rubber contributes greatly to the quietness of automobiles. In recent years, various other industries are also involved in a quest for low-noise and low-vibration characteristics. The facilities that provide formidable ways of developing high levels of anti-vibration functions are state-of-the-art rubber vibration characteristic measurement units. These units are equipped with functions for automatically and accurately measuring all dynamic characteristics of anti-vibration rubber.
-
Fuel transpiration measurement units appropriate for the environmental age
There is an urgent call for the development of environmentally-friendly technology. In particular, North America has enacted strict fuel transpiration regulations for regulating the amount of gasoline that automobiles can volatilize. These test machines were designed for the purpose of developing and checking the quality levels of high-performance components that conform to these regulations, and they are capable of measuring with high accuracy orders through to transpiration levels of 0.1ppm of HC properties from fuel systems.
-
CAE analysis contributes to reducing development time
The highly-acclaimed technology that greatly increases speed and automation from the design stage through to component merchandizing in response to demands from users for reducing development time is represented by CAE analysis technology and 3D CAD/CAM systems.
-
Various material testing units cater to a wide range of requirements.
Due to stricter enviromental guidelines, the demand for more advanced materials is increasing. The material design that meets these demands is under close assessment from varying angles.
-
State-of-the-art endurance testing machines meet high quality standards
Endurance tests are carried out in order to check the reliability of developed components. The durable life span of components is checked in the test chamber by reproducing the vibrations generated through compression, stretch tension and torsion, as well as the biaxial and triaxial input, etc., compounded into these.
