		Japanese railway company, JR West introduced its new 700 series “Hikari Rail Star” bullet train on March 11th for the run between Osaka and Hakata, located in Japan’s southern most major island of Kyushu.
		Because Koyo’s tapered roller bearings for railway stock have less axial clearance than conventional cylindrical roller bearings, the are able to prevent even minute movement of the wheel axle and provide greater stability during high-speed operation.
		The 700 series was developed to have greater speed, comfort, operating efficiency and environmental friendliness than its predecessors.
