Description

Design Principles: The 90° orthogonal crossed arrangement of rollers forms a symmetrical contact line, evenly distributing radial, axial and moment loads and reducing local stress concentration. The split outer ring design allows precise preload adjustment via shims, while the integral inner ring structure ensures high rigidity and rotational accuracy, reducing cumulative assembly errors. Performance Features: Thin-section and Compact: Minimum cross-section height of 7mm, suitable for precision equipment with limited space. High Rigidity: The crossed roller layout enhances deformation resistance by more than 3 times, meeting the requirements of high-torque working conditions. Precision Adjustable: The split outer ring facilitates preload adjustment, adapting to different precision and load requirements. Import Substitute: All technical indicators meet world-class standards, which can directly replace similar products of brands such as IKO. Customization Options: Supports non-standard size customization, hybrid design with ceramic rollers, corrosion-resistant material (SUS440C), and special lubrication solutions for vacuum/high-temperature environments.

High Cost-Effectiveness

Independently researched, developed, and manufactured in China, it replaces imported products, reduces procurement costs, and ensures a stable supply.

Working Principle

CRBC crossed roller bearings
Roller Arrangement and Load Distribution: The 90° orthogonal cross arrangement of rollers forms "X"-shaped contact lines, which evenly distributes radial, axial, and moment loads to each roller, avoiding local stress overload. Moment loads are transmitted through diagonal rollers, further improving load-bearing efficiency and structural stability. Lubrication and Sealing: Sealing Protection: Double contact seals (UU/U) effectively block dust and liquid intrusion, adapting to complex industrial environments; the open-type design meets the long-term operation requirements of clean environments. Thermal Management: Precision polishing of roller end faces (Ra≤0.1μm) and low-friction design control operating temperature rise (typical temperature rise ≤12°C), ensuring the thermal stability of precision equipment. Installation Compatibility: The split outer ring structure simplifies installation and preloading processes, allowing precise control of preload force by adding or removing adjustment shims. It is compatible with standard interference fits (shaft h6/housing bore H7) and meets the assembly tolerance requirements of most industrial equipment.
