Why do industrial robots use crossed roller bearings?

Industrial robots use crossed roller bearings because they offer several key advantages crucial to robotic performance. These bearings are designed to handle high radial, axial, and moment loads simultaneously, making them ideal for the demanding conditions of robotic joints and axes. Their compact size and low profile allow for space-efficient

What are the failure forms of thin-walled angular contact ball bearings? What are the causes of failure?

Thin-walled angular contact ball bearings can fail due to several modes, including fatigue failure, wear and abrasion, corrosion, thermal damage, fretting wear, brinelling, fractures, and creep. These failures arise from factors such as excessive loads, insufficient or contaminated lubrication, exposure to moisture or chemicals, poor installation, vibration, and material defects.

How to ensure the precision of angular contact ball bearing pairing?

Angular contact ball bearing pairing accuracy can be ensured by using the universal pairing method. Angular contact ball bearings are affected by their structural design, generally used in the form of paired combination of mounting to enhance the rigidity and load capacity of the bearings. Bearing manufacturers produce angular contact

Four stages of rolling bearing failure and preventive measures

The first stage is the embryonic stage of bearing failure. At this time, the temperature is normal, the noise is normal, the total vibration velocity and spectrum are normal, but the total peak energy and spectrum have signs. In the second stage, the temperature is normal, the noise increases slightly,

Preload Methods for Rolling Bearings

The preload methods of rolling bearings are divided into two categories: radial preload method and axial preload method. The radial preload method is also called radial top tightening method, which is mostly used in tapered bore bearings that bear radial loads; the axial preload method is also called axial preload
