Strengthening Their Position in the Motor Market
- How do you plan to use JMAG in the Future?
Inoue JMAG is a tool that makes it possible for designers to discover problems
that occur from design to prototype through simulations they can run independently.
American manufacturers break development into groups for analysis, design,
and prototypes which often causes misunderstandings as well as errors in
data between each party. But I think a concurrent type of development can
be achieved by using JMAG.
JMAG will be a large part of our development process in the future. The
popularity of motors is based on the maturity of the economy and culture.The
number of motors being used in vehicles will increase. Furthermore, the
importance of motors as a key drive train type device will most likely
expand with the growing awareness of the products effects on the environment,
such as energy efficiency.
We are also innovating various motor technology for hybrid vehicles as
we aim to achieve EV (electric vehicles) motor technology. Magnetic field
analysis is vital to facilitate this goal. We plan to increase the areas
JMAG is being fully implemented, and I believe that JMAG will open doors
for us to new opportunities.
- What does the Nidec Corporation dream for the future?
Inoue We always say, "contribute to environmental conservation by
reducing CO2 emissions by converting automobiles, ships, and airplanes
that currently run on fuel to an electric system." The Nidec Corporation
is striving to develop high-output motors. We competed in the F5B Championships,
known as the F1 of radio controlled airplanes. The estimated performance
of the motor developed by the Motor Engineering Research Laboratory installed
in these planes achieved a power to weight ratio of 8kW/kg. This is a 30
percent increase from the standard F1 engine at 6kW/kg. Team Nidec, using
planes powered by Nidec motors, swept the top three places of the 2008
Japan Championships, for the second year in a row. This motor technology
will be implemented in hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles and most likely
be adapted for electric ships and airplanes in the future.

Business Outline
The Nidec Corporation aims to be the world's #1 manufacturer of comprehensive
drive technology based on the motto, "for everything that spins and
moves." Since the Nidec Corporation's establishment in Kyoto to manufacture
and sell small precision AC motors, they have secured their position as
a brushless DC motor manufacturer (motors driven by conductors switching
electric poles), and furthered their position as the top small precision
motor manufacture for hard disk drives, multimedia devices (CD-ROMs, DVDs,
BD), and office equipment. The Nidec Corporation is also proud to be one
of the major share holders for small precisions fan motors used in various
home appliances.
The Shiga Technical Center develops various motors for automobiles, OA/IT,
and fans as well as strives to support commercial production and quality
assurance.
