About Cross Roller Bearings

What is a Cross Roller Bearing?

A cross roller bearing is a special type of rolling bearing uniquely designed with cylindrical rollers arranged at 90 degrees to each other in V-shaped grooves between the inner and outer rings. This precision-engineered component can simultaneously withstand radial loads, axial loads, and overturning moments, making it an ideal choice for high-precision rotary applications. Unlike traditional solutions that require combinations of multiple standard bearings, a single cross roller bearing provides multi-directional load capacity, greatly simplifying mechanical design.

The rollers in the bearing are evenly spaced by precision cages or spacer blocks, ensuring optimal load distribution and smooth operation. The line contact between the cross-arranged rollers and raceways provides higher rigidity and load capacity compared to the point contact of ball bearings. This design makes cross roller bearings particularly suitable for applications requiring high rotationalaccuracy and compact designs, such as industrial robot joints, precision rotary tables, and medical equipment.

Based on structural characteristics, cross roller bearings are mainly divided into two types: non-separable (such as the RA series) and separable (such as the RB series). Non-separable bearings offer higher rigidity, while separable bearings facilitate installation and maintenance. Additionally, there is the RU series with mounting holes, which can be fixed directly with bolts, further simplifying the installation process.

Features of Cross Roller Bearings

Cross roller bearings possess several outstanding characteristics that make them indispensable in the field of precision machinery:

High Rigidity and High Load Capacity: The cross-arranged roller design enables the bearing to withstand loads in all directions, including radial, axial, and moment loads, while maintaining extremely high rigidity.

Excellent Rotational Accuracy: Precisely manufactured rollers and raceways ensure minimal runout during bearing operation, typically controlling radial and axial runout to micrometer levels, meeting the needs of high-precision applications.

Compact Design:Compared to multi-bearing combinations achieving the same function, a single cross roller bearing can save up to 50% of installation space, enabling equipment miniaturization.

Simplified Installation and Maintenance: Especially the separable design (such as the RB series), which allows the bearing to be installed on an already assembled shaft, greatly simplifying the installation process and maintenance work.

Low Friction and Smooth Operation: Optimized roller profiles and finely finished surfaces ensure smooth bearing operation and low friction torque, contributing to improved system efficiency and extended service life.

High Stiffness and Minimal Deformation:The cross roller arrangement minimizes bearing deformation under moment loads, ensuring the accuracy of precision positioning systems.

Applications of Cross Roller Bearings

Cross roller bearings are widely used in various high-precision equipment and mechanical systems:

Industrial Robots: Rotary joints, bases, and wrist joints of robots, especially critical parts of six-axis and SCARA robots, require high rigidity and precise positioning capability.

Precision Rotary Tables: Fourth and fifth-axis rotary tables for CNC machining centers, rotating platforms for precision measuring equipment, and wafer handling systems in semiconductor manufacturing.

Medical Equipment: Rotating gantries of CT scanners, MRI systems, surgical robot joints, and precision medical instruments, where smooth operation and precise control are extremely important.

Aerospace and Defense: Radar antenna bases, steering mechanisms for satellite communication systems, motion platforms for aviation simulators, and various navigation and targeting systems.

Automation Equipment: Rotary units on automated assembly lines, precision indexing plates, and key rotating components of material handling systems.

Optical and Measuring Instruments: Azimuth and elevation axes of telescopes, optical mounts in laser processing equipment, rotary attachments for coordinate measuring machines, etc.

How to Choose Cross Roller Bearings?

Selecting the appropriate cross roller bearing requires comprehensive consideration of the following factors:

Load Condition Analysis: Evaluate the magnitude and direction of radial, axial, and moment loads present in the application, ensuring the selected bearing's rated load meets requirements and considering an appropriate safety factor.

Accuracy Requirements: Determine the necessary accuracy grade based on application needs. Standard grade is suitable for general industrial applications, precision grade (P5, P4) for high-precision equipment, and ultra-precision grade (P2, UP) for extremely precise instruments.

Size Constraints: Consider the limitations of the installation space on the bearing's inner/outer diameter and width. Cross roller bearings come in various series, from compact to heavy-duty types; the model most suitable for space constraints should be selected.

Operating Environment: Assess temperature, humidity, presence of contaminants, and lubrication conditions. Special environments may require stainless steel bearings, special coatings, or seal designs.

Installation Method: Choose between non-separable or separable bearings based on equipment structure. For situations where axial installation is difficult, separable bearings (such as the RB series) are a better choice.

Preload and Clearance: Determine whether preload (to eliminate clearance and increase rigidity) or retaining appropriate clearance (to compensate for thermal expansion) is needed based on application requirements.

Speed Capability: Consider the operating speed range of the bearing, ensure the selected bearing design is suitable for that speed condition, and select the appropriate lubrication method.

Price of Cross Roller Bearings

The price of cross roller bearings is influenced by various factors:

Accuracy Grade: Higher accuracy leads to higher manufacturing costs. Ultra-precision bearings (P4, P2 grade) can be 2-3 times more expensive than standard grade bearings.

Size and Series: Large-size bearings and special series (such as ultra-thin, heavy-duty types) are usually more expensive. Within the same series, prices increase non-linearly with size.

Materials and Processes: Bearings made from special materials like stainless steel, ceramics, or those undergoing special heat treatments (like cryogenic treatment) have significantly higher costs.

Brand and Origin: Bearings from well-known brands (such as INA, THK, IKO) typically carry a 20%-50% brand premium but offer more reliable quality and after-sales service.

Quantity and Delivery Time: Large quantity purchases can obtain more favorable unit prices, while rush orders may incur additional costs.

Special Requirements: Non-standard clearance, special lubricants, custom seals, or special packaging will increase costs.

Market Factors: Fluctuations in raw material prices, exchange rate changes, and market demand also affect the final price.

As a reference, the starting price for small standard cross roller bearings (inner diameter <100mm) is approximately $100-$200, while large precision bearings (inner diameter >500mm) can cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.
