NMT Four-Point Contact Ball Bearings Precision Bearings For Robot Joints, Rotary Platforms And Construction Machinery Rotary Mechanisms, Bi-directional Combined Axial And Radial Load Capacity

Industrial robot joints, automatic rotary tables, construction machinery rotary mechanisms and small slewing devices simultaneously bear radial loads, bidirectional axial loads and overturning moments during operation. Ordinary deep groove ball bearings can only withstand unidirectional axial force. Paired angular contact ball bearings require complicated assembly and precise preload adjustment, failing to meet the lightweight and compact design requirements of rotary units. Traditional crossed roller bearings have high costs and large overall dimensions, which are not suitable for medium and small lightweight rotary equipment.

Rotary mechanisms need flexible low-speed swing and intermittent rotation with stable friction torque and controllable rotary clearance. Many automatic equipment pursue lightweight design with limited installation space, while requiring high rigidity and positioning accuracy. Environmental impurities such as dust and moisture easily invade bearings and cause rolling element wear, reducing rotary precision. The market demands four-point contact ball bearings with compact structure and composite load capacity for medium and small rotary mechanisms.

NMT Four-Point Contact Ball Bearings adopt a unique design to bear bidirectional axial force by single bearing. One single bearing can sustain radial loads, bidirectional axial loads and overturning moments simultaneously, replacing two sets of paired angular contact ball bearings. It simplifies mechanical structure, saves assembly space and reduces overall equipment weight. The curved raceway enables four-point contact between steel balls and raceways, delivering outstanding structural rigidity and stable rotary clearance to ensure high-precision rotational positioning.

Various sealing options are available to block dust and moisture intrusion, adapting to indoor automatic workshop conditions and outdoor construction machinery working environments. The integrated cage evenly separates steel balls to avoid collision and friction between rolling elements, lower operating noise and slow fatigue wear. Complete specifications follow international universal standards for easy replacement during renovation of automatic rotary equipment and construction machinery rotary components. The bearings are widely used in all kinds of medium and small precision rotary mechanisms.
