in Lake Bluff, Illinois. On Tuesday, March 25, 2025, a dedicated group of NTN employees volunteered for the charitable organization. The organization sources and distributes new and gently used books to children in the Chicagoland area.

Volunteers Pack and Inspect Books

With the help of volunteers, Bernie’s Book Bank has provided over 23 million books. These books went to families without children’s books at home since 2009. During this event, NTN volunteers packed eight books into bags for distribution. They also inspected donated used books to ensure their good condition. In total, NTN employees assembled 1,852 bags with 14,816 books for distribution.

NTN Bearing Community Engagement: Supporting Local Communities

“Over the past two years, we have formed a great relationship with Bernie’s Book Bank,” said Pete Eich, president of NTN Bearing Corporation of America. “For many of our employees who participated, including myself, we believe there is no better feeling than to reach out and help kids. Many of us have children or grandkids who love to have books read to them before taking a nap or going to bed at night. Unfortunately, there are kids in the Chicagoland area who do not have this same opportunity. Our involvement with Bernie’s Book Bank helps address this issue and brings the joy of reading to many children.”

NTN’s Community Spirit & Engagement Program

launched its Community Spirit & Engagement Program in January 2023. This program focuses on managing the company responsibly and ethically. It also makes positive contributions to the community and builds partnerships with other organizations. The program encourages employees to take an active role in community service. This reflects NTN’s commitment to corporate citizenship.

Looking Ahead to Future Community Outreach

“I am looking forward to strengthening our relationship with our established community partners during quarterly community outreach programs in 2025,” said Eich. “We also look forward to creating new partnerships.”

      Various Types of Bearing Brake Disc(source from :rdbrake.com)
      The primary function of bearing brake discs is to provide a stable and reliable surface for the brake pads to grip, thereby facilitating effective braking. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake pads clamp onto the spinning brake disc, generating friction that slows down the wheel's rotation. The bearings within the brake disc assembly ensure smooth and consistent rotation, minimizing wear and tear on the braking system.
      Types of Bearing Brake Discs
      Ventilated Brake Discs: These discs feature internal vanes or vents that allow air to circulate, dissipating heat more efficiently. They are commonly used in high-performance vehicles and heavy-duty applications where heat management is crucial.
      Solid Brake Discs: These are simple, flat discs without internal vents. They are typically used in smaller or lighter vehicles where excessive heat build-up is less of a concern.
      Drilled and Slotted Discs: These discs have holes and grooves that enhance heat dissipation and improve braking performance, especially under extreme conditions. They also help in expelling dust and debris from the braking surface.
      Composite Brake Discs: Made from a combination of materials such as cast iron and carbon composites, these discs offer superior performance, reduced weight, and enhanced heat resistance. They are often found in high-end sports cars and racing applications.
      Maintenance of Bearing Brake Discs

      Regular maintenance of bearing brake discs is essential to ensure the longevity and reliability of the braking system. Key maintenance practices include:
      Inspection: Regularly inspect the brake discs for signs of wear, such as grooves, cracks, or uneven surfaces. This can prevent potential brake failure.
      Cleaning: Keep the brake discs clean from dust, dirt, and debris. Use appropriate cleaning solutions and tools to avoid damaging the surface.
      Lubrication: Ensure that the bearings are properly lubricated to reduce friction and prevent overheating. Use the recommended type and amount of lubricant for optimal performance.
      Replacement: Replace the brake discs when they show significant signs of wear or when they reach the manufacturer's recommended lifespan. Timely replacement can prevent more severe damage to the braking system.

      link hidden, please login to view at  link hidden, please login to view. On Wednesday, June 12, 2024, a group of 21 Chicago-area based link hidden, please login to view volunteered to spend the day at the Morton Grove, Illinois-based animal rescue. NTN’s volunteers started the morning out doing various cleaning and landscaping chores, painting crates, and loading Wright-Way’s shuttle bus for its weekly trip to the rescue’s Admissions and Medical Services Campus in Murphysboro, IL. The volunteers took a break to enjoy lunch at the nationally acclaimed Pequod’s Pizza. Located just a short walk from Wright-Way in Morton Grove, Pequod’s was recently named the #1 pizza place in the United States by Yelp. After lunch, the volunteers went back to work at Wright-Way, spending the afternoon walking and socializing dogs, bathing and grooming puppies, and socializing and enriching cats and kittens for adoption.
      “I am proud of this group of employees for participating in our volunteer day at Wright-Way Rescue,” said Pete Eich, president and CEO of NTN Bearing Corporation of America. “The overarching mission of our NTN Community Spirit & Engagement Program is to have a positive impact on our community, and Wright-Way Rescue is such a deserving organization. Wright-Way fulfills a crucial role in our community, saving the lives of cats and dogs and finding them homes, and we are happy to be part of their support network.”
      NTN’s new Community Spirit & Engagement Program was launched in January 2023, with the purpose of managing the company in a responsible and ethical manner and making a positive impact on the communities where we operate, the company said. The goals of the program include maintaining a community involvement program that contributes time and resources to charitable organizations, encouraging employees to have an active role within the local community, making positive contributions to the community, and building partnerships with other groups and organizations.
