Description

Design principle The rollers are arranged orthogonally to form an X-shaped contact line, maximizing the contact area and reducing local stress. The integral structure of the inner and outer rings enhances rigidity, making it suitable for heavy-load impact working conditions. Performance Characteristics: High Load-bearing Capacity: The basic dynamic load rating (Cr) is 2.9-1350 kN (depending on the model). Impact Resistance: The GCr15 material undergoes surface hardening treatment, increasing the fatigue life by 25%. Easy Installation: The integral design reduces assembly errors and is suitable for standardized shaft-hole fits.
RB Crossed  Roller Bearing

Features

Strong Composite Load Capacity

The rollers are arranged orthogonally and crosswise at a 90° angle, enabling synchronous bearing of radial, axial, and moment loads without the need for additional configuration of other bearings. The crosswise layout increases the contact area, and compared with traditional single-row bearings, the anti-deformation capacity is increased by 3 to 4 times, making it particularly suitable for high-torque scenarios.

High Precision and Low Friction

The raceways and rollers are precisely ground, achieving P5 precision in rotational runout, which meets the positioning requirements at the nanometer level. The geometric shape of the roller end faces is optimized to reduce sliding friction, thereby extending the service life of the bearings.

Compact Structure and Light Weight

With a thin-walled section design, the height of the metric section ranges from 10 to 30 mm, making it suitable for equipment with limited space. Compared with traditional bearings, the weight is reduced by 20% to 30%, reducing the overall inertia of the equipment and improving the dynamic response speed.

Long Service Life and High Reliability

The bearing rings and rollers are made of GCr15 high-carbon chromium steel or SUS440C stainless steel, which improves fatigue resistance and wear resistance. The cages are made of nylon 66 or brass to reduce friction and wear. The split outer ring design facilitates preload adjustment, reduces assembly errors, and enhances the stability of the system.

Working Principle

RB Crossed  Roller Bearing
1.Core Structural Design The rollers are arranged orthogonally and crosswise at a 90° angle in an X - shape. Cylindrical rollers are evenly distributed on a single raceway, enabling the bearing to simultaneously bear radial, bidirectional axial, and moment loads and reducing stress concentration. The inner ring is of an integral type and undergoes integrated precision grinding to ensure consistent roller movement trajectories. The outer ring is of a split type, facilitating installation and pre - load adjustment and reducing assembly errors. 2.Load Distribution and Rigidity Enhancement Radial loads are dispersed through the vertical contact between the rollers and the raceways. Axial loads are borne by the contact between the roller end faces and the side walls of the raceways, eliminating the need for additional thrust bearings. Diagonal rollers transmit moments. Compared with traditional bearings, the anti - overturning capacity is increased by approximately 3 to 4 times. The cross - layout increases the contact area. Combined with GCr15 high - carbon chromium steel, it significantly enhances rigidity and reduces deformation. 3.Lubrication and Sealing For grease lubrication, long - acting grease is used, which is suitable for high - temperature or vacuum environments. For oil lubrication, a circulating oil system is employed for ultra - high - speed or heavy - load scenarios to reduce frictional temperature rise. There are two types of sealing: open type, suitable for clean environments, and contact rubber sealing (UU/U), applicable to dusty, humid environments or when both protection and heat dissipation need to be considered. 4.Installation and Fit RB series models are equipped with M3 - M12 mounting bolt holes, facilitating fixation to the equipment base. The tolerances of the inner and outer rings vary depending on the inner diameter range.
