Cross Roller Bearings

CRBT crossed roller bearing

CRBT crossed roller bearings are specifically designed for space-constrained high-precision applications, featuring an integral ultra-thin inner and outer ring structure with precision-ground raceways and 90° orthogonal "X"-shaped cylindrical rollers. They can simultaneously bear radial, axial, and moment loads, with excellent compactness, high rigidity, and low-noise performance. The ultra-thin design eliminates space limitations for small equipment, making them ideal for collaborative robots, special service robots, micro mechanical arms, precision instruments, and other devices requiring reliable load-bearing and precise rotation. They fully meet international technical standards and can replace imported bearings of brands such as IKO/THK.

Description

Design Principles: The 90° orthogonal crossed arrangement of rollers forms symmetrical "X"-shaped contact lines, evenly distributing radial, axial, and moment loads, avoiding local stress concentration, and adapting to the composite load requirements of compact equipment. The integral ultra-thin design of inner and outer rings reduces assembly steps and cumulative errors, enhances system rigidity and rotational accuracy, and maximizes the compression of installation space. Performance Features: Extremely Ultra-thin: Minimum cross-section height of only 6 mm, breaking space limitations and adapting to the compact layout of micro devices. High Precision and Rigidity: P2-class precision meets micron-level positioning requirements, and the crossed roller layout enhances deformation resistance by more than 2.5 times. Low-noise Operation: Precision polishing of roller end faces (Ra≤0.1μm) + low-friction cage design, operating noise ≤45 dB, suitable for noise-sensitive scenarios. Long Service Life and Stability: Surface hardening treatment of GCr15 material increases fatigue life by 30%, ensuring long-term reliable operation of precision equipment. Customization Options: Supports non-standard ultra-thin size customization, hybrid design with ceramic rollers, corrosion-resistant material (SUS440C), special low-noise lubrication solutions, and vacuum/high-temperature adaptive versions.

Composite Load Bearing

A single bearing simultaneously bears radial, axial, and moment loads, simplifying the structural design of micro devices and improving system integration efficiency.

Cost-effective Import Substitute

Independently researched, developed and manufactured in China, technical indicators are aligned with world-class brands, with stable supply and procurement costs 30%-50% lower than imported products.

Working Principle

CRBT crossed roller bearing
Working Principle Roller Arrangement and Load Distribution: The rollers are arranged in a 90° orthogonal cross pattern, forming an "X" shaped contact line, which evenly distributes radial, axial, and moment loads to each roller, preventing localized stress overload. In this compact structure, the symmetrical distribution of contact lines ensures balanced load transfer and improves operational stability. Moment loads are efficiently transmitted through the diagonal rollers, further enhancing load-bearing capacity. Lubrication and Sealing: Sealing Protection: Double-contact seals (UU/U) effectively prevent dust and liquid ingress, suitable for complex industrial environments; the open design reduces operating resistance and meets the requirements of clean and low-noise applications. Thermal Management: Precision polishing of the roller end faces and a low-friction cage design effectively control the operating temperature rise (typical temperature rise ≤14°C), and combined with the heat dissipation characteristics of the ultra-thin structure, ensure thermal stability of precision equipment in compact spaces. Installation Adaptability: The integrated ultra-thin structure of the inner and outer rings simplifies the installation process, eliminating the need for additional positioning components; it is compatible with standard interference fits (shaft h6/bore H7), meeting the assembly tolerance requirements of most miniature equipment and robots, and can be directly bolted or nested for installation.

FAQ

CRBT takes "ultra-thin cross-section" as its core advantage, with a minimum cross-section of only 6 mm, focusing on space-constrained scenarios; CRBH is a conventional ultra-thin design (minimum 8 mm), focusing on general compact requirements. The selection depends on the equipment space margin and load requirements.
It is suitable for noise-sensitive scenarios such as collaborative robots, medical service robots, and laboratory precision instruments. The noise is ≤45 dB under normal speed, which can meet the silent operation requirements.
Usually 6-10 weeks. Specifically, it needs to be determined according to the processing difficulty of ultra-thin sizes, material supply and production schedule. Urgent production services are supported.
Bearings made of SUS440C stainless steel should be selected, matched with special corrosion-resistant grease and UU/U sealing type, to improve the service life and stability of the bearing in humid and corrosive medium environments.
