NMT Crossed Roller Bearings Thin Section High Rigidity Heavy Load Rotary Bearings For Industrial Robots And CNC Rotary Tables With Precision Positioning
Joints of industrial robots, CNC rotary tables and precision testing instruments have strict space constraints, and equipment design trends toward lightweight and miniaturization. Multiple sets of ordinary bearings are required to withstand radial loads, axial loads and overturning moments simultaneously, which leads to large occupied space, complicated assembly and difficult coaxiality control, easily resulting in positioning deviation. Precision machining and automatic testing equipment demand high repeated positioning accuracy and tiny rotary clearance. Stagnant rotation or excessive clearance directly causes defective workpieces and distorted test data. Plenty of automatic equipment runs reciprocally for a long time, and insufficient bearing rigidity triggers vibration and undermines operational stability. Conventional large slewing rings feature excessive thickness and cannot adapt to slim equipment layout. The market demands compact crossed roller bearings with multi-direction load capacity, high positioning accuracy and high rigidity.
NMT Crossed Roller Bearings feature orthogonally crossed rollers. A single bearing can sustain radial loads, axial loads and overturning moments, simplifying mechanical structures, reducing part quantity and lowering assembly difficulty. Integral or split inner and outer rings are optional. Thin-wall structure meets lightweight and miniaturized design targets. Ultra-precisely ground rolling elements together with finely machined raceways support slight clearance or preload configuration to minimize rotary clearance and guarantee high repeated positioning accuracy. Raceway surfaces are strengthened for outstanding wear resistance and stable dimension during long-term reciprocating rotation. Various mounting hole layouts are available for direct connection with flanges and rotary plates without complicated auxiliary supports. Uniform friction ensures smooth low-speed rotation without stagnation for precision indexing and slow continuous rotary applications. A complete series of standard specifications facilitates selection for automation manufacturers.
Clearance adjustable and preloaded structures are available. Selection can be made based on positioning accuracy, load magnitude, rotating speed and mounting form for all types of precision automatic rotary devices.
