Top 5 Factors to Consider When Choosing a Crossed Roller Bearing

The Importance of Choosing the Right Crossed Roller Bearing and How to Do It.

Crossed roller bearings are often used in precision equipment, such as precision medical equipment, precision photographic and video equipment, precision machine tools, precision robots, etc.

Why is it called a crossed roller bearing?

What exactly is its structure?

What kind of performance does it have?

What models are available?

But today, THB would like to offer some TIPS for those who are faced with the question:

"what type of crossed roller bearing is suitable for my equipment"

we recommend that you base your choice on the following 5 points.

1. Confirm the size range of the bearing you need

  Be sure first to know how big you need to use the bearing, and shape size is a very important parameter, and you can also say this, you need to install this bearing equipment installation size is how big, and then you can determine the size of the bearing.

2. Structure form

  It is not enough to determine the size because the same size of crossed roller bearings also have a lot of structure. There are outer ring split types (RB/RA), there is also inner ring split type(RE), and there are also whole structures (RU/CRBH).

The key depends on whether the part of the bearing to be driven to rotate needs to be mounted on the inner or outer ring of the bearing

 The separable outer ring type must be used if rotational accuracy is required in the inner ring.

 For the same reason, use the separable inner ring type if you need the outer ring rotation.

 Inside and outside of the ring must rotate with high precision, suitable for using the inner and outer ring's overall structure.

3. Mounting methods

 The mounting method of crossed roller bearings can be divided into two main categories.

 One is the inner and outer ring with mounting holes, like the slewing bearing; it is relatively simple to install directly through the connecting bolt connected to the equipment;

 Another is the inner and outer ring have no mounting holes, mainly through the bearing seat, pressure flange, and shaft and bearing bore interference fit.

4. Load-carrying capacity

  Want to know what type of crossed roller you choose, to understand whether it can withstand the load imposed by the equipment, according to the equipment design of the load capacity requirements and the corresponding bearing load rating to determine whether it is suitable.

5. Accuracy and clearance

  The accuracy and clearance of crossed roller bearings are the core of crossed roller bearings. The positive and negative clearance of the bearing can affect the rigidity of the crossed roller, noise, life, speed, and other factors.

  ①When the working clearance is negative, the fatigue life of the bearing is long, but with the negative clearance increases, the fatigue clearance significantly declines. But can significantly improve the rigidity of the bearing while reducing the noise of the bearing.

  ②When the work clearance for positive value, bearing speed will increase. But at the same time, the bearing will usher in bearing noise too big, rigidity, and other shortcomings.
