Nidec Components Corporation is a premier global manufacturer of precision electronic components, sensors, and actuators, dedicated to driving the future of the industrial automation marketplace. Since our founding in Tokyo in 1967, we have continuously expanded our technical capabilities, product portfolio, and manufacturing scale to support highly dynamic motion control and sensing applications worldwide. Leveraging a robust global network across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, we supply critical components designed to meet the rigorous and evolving demands of modern automation.

Over the decades, we have established a proven track record of excellence in some of the most demanding and precise industries. Our components are widely trusted in sectors such as Industrial Robots, Collaborative Robots (Cobots), Semiconductor Manufacturing, and Factory Automation. In these fields, where accuracy and durability are paramount, our products have consistently delivered uncompromising performance. Our comprehensive manufacturing process—spanning from proprietary sensing elements and unique metal thin-film deposition to final assembly—is conducted in dedicated factories to ensure the highest levels of quality and stable supply.

Today, Nidec Components is actively leveraging the deep technological expertise and unwavering reliability cultivated in these legacy industries to pioneer advancements in emerging and rapidly growing frontiers. We are strategically expanding our focus to empower the next generation of automation, specifically targeting Humanoid Robots, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), and Drones. By applying our proven technologies to these new domains, we provide the essential sensory and mechanical building blocks required for spatial recognition, precise joint control, and environmental monitoring in advanced robotic systems.

Our diverse and comprehensive product lineup is tailored to solve complex engineering challenges. We offer advanced 6-axis force and torque sensors utilizing unique direct-deposition CrN thin-film technology. These sensors provide high sensitivity, low crosstalk, and exceptional rigidity, making them ideal for the intricate movements of robotic arms and the highly compact joints required for future humanoid robots. For spatial awareness and navigation, our LiDAR polygon mirrors—which hold the leading global market share—deliver exceptionally wide scanning angles and up to tens of thousands of beam lines. This advanced optical precision ensures reliable long-distance detection and high-resolution mapping for AMRs and autonomous vehicles.

Additionally, our portfolio includes a wide array of high-resolution position encoders, ranging from optical to magnetic types, ensuring precise robotic positioning even in adverse conditions. For the broader factory automation ecosystem, we provide highly reliable Si-MEMS pressure sensors, fluid leakage sensors, and high-performance micro blowers that enhance overall system safety and efficiency.
