There are two main categories of crossed roller bearings; one is crossed cylindrical roller bearings, while the other is crossed tapered roller bearings, both of which are rolling bodies perpendicular to each other on the V-shaped grooves; the only difference is that the crossed tapered roller collar V-shaped grooves according to the use of tapered rollers are not the same as the angle of the different, which leads to a greater load carrying capacity and higher speed.

Characteristics of crossed tapered roller bearings:

Crossed Tapered Roller Bearings XRT series has two rows of tapered rollers vertically crossed on a V-shaped hob surface at 90° through spacer retainers, capable of withstanding radial loads, axial loads and other loads in all directions.

Linear contact in the raceway and roller configuration provides maximum rotational accuracy, high stability and greater tilting stiffness.
The adjustable design of the preload extends bearing life, maximizes stiffness and provides minimum runout.
Nylon spacers have low inertia and low operating torque.
Components are manufactured from surface carburized steel or electro slag remelted bearing steel for good impact resistance.




Application Areas of Crossed Tapered Roller Bearings

  1. Precision rotary indexing tables for machine tools

  2. Vertical and Horizontal Boring Machines

  3. Vertical Grinding Machines

  4. Rotary Surface Grinding Machines

  5. Large Hobbing Machines

  6. Gun and radar rotary tables

  7. Large Radio and Optical Telescopes

  8. Rotary camera

  9. Microscope tables

  10. Rod center pivots

What is a crossed roller bearing?

Crossed roller bearings are a special type of bearing in which the inner ring is split, and the outer ring rotates. Due to their special structure, they are usually used as joint bearings in industrial robots.

What is the difference between crossed roller bearings and ball bearings?

The main differences between crossed roller bearings and ball bearings are as follows:

Structure:

  • The rolling bodies of crossed roller bearings are cylindrical rollers or tapered rollers arranged in a cross.

  • The rolling elements of ball bearings are steel balls.

Precision:

  • Ball bearings can maintain good rotational accuracy at high speeds.

  • Crossed roller bearings are also more accurate, but in certain high-precision applications, ball bearings may be more advantageous.

    When Do Motor Bearings Need Preload? Unpacking Axial Pre-tightening

    Motor Bearing Preload: Eliminating Play for Precision Preload, or axial pre-tightening, is a critical technique for optimizing motor bearing performance. It involves applying a carefully controlled axial force to the bearing during assembly, effectively eliminating internal clearance (play). This isn't about simply tightening things down; it's a deliberate engineering choice that delivers significant benefits. By removing unwanted play, preload dramatically improves running accuracy and positional stability, making the shaft more precise and resistant to deflection. It also enhances stiffness and rigidity, crucial for applications demanding high precision under load. Furthermore, preload reduces noise and vibration by ensuring smooth rolling motion and prevents ball skidding in high-speed scenarios. This technique is especially vital for motors in demanding applications like machine tools, robotics, and high-speed machinery where stability, precision, and quiet operation are paramount.

    Angular contact ball bearings, the difference between angular contact ball bearings and deep groove ball bearings

    While both angular contact ball bearings and deep groove ball bearings are designed to facilitate rotation, their fundamental difference lies in their load-carrying capabilities and structural design. Deep groove ball bearings are the most common type, recognized for their versatility. They primarily excel at handling radial loads (perpendicular to the shaft) but can also accommodate moderate axial loads (parallel to the shaft) in both directions. Their simple design, with deep, uninterrupted raceways, allows for high speeds and smooth operation. In contrast, angular contact ball bearings are specifically engineered to handle combined radial and axial loads, particularly high axial loads. Their unique design features a "contact angle" between the balls and raceways, which allows them to effectively support axial forces in one direction. For applications requiring two-way axial load support or enhanced rigidity, angular contact ball bearings are often used in "paired" configurations. This makes them ideal for high-precision, high-speed applications where significant axial thrust is present, such as machine tool spindles.

    Mastering Motor Bearing Configurations: Precision Positioning with Paired Angular Contact Ball Bearings

    The key to achieving precise positioning in motor systems is the clever use of angular contact ball bearings. Designed to accommodate radial and axial loads, these specialized bearings provide exceptional rigidity and minimal runout when precisely matched. This pairing technique is essential for applications that require high precision and stability, ensuring smooth and reliable operation of precision-critical motors.

    Can You Really Tell If Your Bearings Are Healthy Just by Looking at Grease Color? 12

    Can You Really Tell If Your Bearings Are Healthy Just by Looking at Grease Color?

    Grease Color: A First Clue, Not a Final Verdict for Bearing Health Can you truly tell if your bearings are healthy just by looking at the color of their grease? Not definitively, but it's a valuable starting point! While a new grease's color is often just a dye for identification, any significant change in its appearance can be a red flag. Darkening might suggest oxidation or contamination from wear particles, while a milky look often points to water ingress. Losing its original vibrancy can signal thermal degradation. However, relying solely on visual inspection is like diagnosing a car engine just by the color of its exhaust – it gives you a clue, but not the full picture. Many issues aren't visible, and some greases change color naturally with use. For a true assessment of your bearing's health, you need more robust methods. Think of grease color as your early warning system, prompting further investigation with methods like laboratory grease analysis, vibration analysis, or temperature monitoring.
