NMT Crossed Roller Bearings High Precision Compact Slewing Bearings For Industrial Robots, CNC Rotary Tables And Indexing Plates

Joints of industrial robots, rotary tables of CNC machining centers, precision indexing plates and automated rotary inspection platforms need to bear radial loads, axial loads and overturning moments simultaneously during operation. Limited installation space puts strict restrictions on bearing dimensions. Traditional combined bearing solutions require multiple bearing sets, resulting in complicated assembly, larger occupied space and unstable rotary precision under combined loads. Conventional bearings lack sufficient rigidity. Overturning moments create rotary clearance, reducing positioning accuracy and impairing machining quality and repetitive positioning performance.

Precision automation equipment requires long-term continuous high-precision operation. Frequent start-stop and reciprocating rotation continuously test bearing rigidity and dimensional stability. Dust and cutting fluid easily penetrate into bearings, causing roller abrasion and precision degradation. Many ordinary slewing bearings feature poor clearance control. Clearance expands rapidly after short operation and demands frequent calibration, lowering production efficiency. Automation equipment manufacturers require compact crossed roller bearings with high rigidity, capability to withstand combined loads and stable long-term rotary precision to guarantee accurate operation of rotary mechanisms within limited installation space.

NMT Crossed Roller Bearings adopt cylindrical rollers arranged at 90 degrees. A single bearing unit supports radial loads, bidirectional axial loads and overturning moments at the same time, greatly simplifying mechanical structures and saving installation space. Raceways and rollers are super-precisely ground with accurately controlled clearance to deliver uniform rotary resistance, ultrahigh rigidity and outstanding positioning accuracy. The highly integrated inner and outer ring design enables direct mounting without extra supporting components. Various sealing options block dust and cutting fluid from invading raceways, slow down abrasion and maintain precise rotary performance for extended periods. Preload configurations are optional to meet zero-clearance rotary requirements of ultra-precision equipment.

A full range of specifications is available, including non-toothed, internally toothed and externally toothed structures to match different driving modes. Widely applied in articulated industrial robot joints, CNC rotary tables, precision indexing devices, optical inspection rotary platforms, five-axis machining centers and rotary modules of semiconductor automation equipment. Unified machining benchmarks guarantee good interchangeability for convenient disassembly during equipment upgrading.
