IKO Ultra-Small Crossed Roller Bearings: Help Shrink Automated Equipment Designs

IKO designs and manufactures a variety of crossed roller bearings that can handle radial, thrust and moment loads at the same time. These compact bearings feature rollers crossed at right angles between inner and outer rings.

• Widely used in machine tools, industrial robots and medical equipment because of their high rotational accuracy.

• Roller guide options include a cage or separator as well as a full complement design. Both the cage and separator styles offer a small coefficient of friction for high-speed rotation. Full complement bearings handle heavy loads at low speeds.

• Sealed and open designs are available. Sealed bearings incorporate synthetic rubber seals to protect against dust, dirt and grease.

ULTRA-SMALL CROSSED ROLLER BEARINGS

When you need to incorporate a compact bearing into a space-constrained automated machine design, you may think you have to sacrifice precision. After all, if you have a complex or high-speed rotating load, it’s natural to look for a large bearing with solid construction that can provide good accuracy and rigidity. If you’re challenged by an automated or robotic machine design with limited space, it pays to give crossed roller bearings extra consideration. Crossed roller bearings are advanced products that are ideal for space-constrained automated machine designs. And, new crossed roller bearings from IKO International can deliver precise, repeatable motion and fit within the tight confines of your equipment.
