CRBC

Key Features of CRBC Series Crossed Roller Bearings

1. Multi-Directional Load Support

The CRBC series bearings are engineered to handle combined loads in all directions—radial, axial, and moment—within a single compact unit. This makes them ideal for high-performance rotating mechanisms requiring stability and space optimization.

2. Space-Saving Design

These bearings are constructed with a minimal cross-section, allowing designers to make the best use of limited installation space without compromising rigidity or performance.

3. High Rigidity and Rotation Accuracy

Supplied with normal clearance, zero clearance, or preload configurations, CRBC bearings ensure stable rotation, high rigidity, and exceptional running accuracy. This makes them suitable for demanding applications like robotic joints and machine tools.

4. Crossed Roller Structure

Cylindrical rollers are arranged orthogonally in a 90° V-groove, alternating directions to efficiently distribute loads and minimize rotational friction. A space retainer separates the rollers to prevent contact and reduce wear.

5. Split Outer Ring for Easy Mounting

The outer ring of the CRBC bearing is split and fixed with bolts, making assembly easier and reducing the potential for mounting-related accuracy loss. The inner ring is a solid piece, making this series especially suitable for applications demanding inner ring rotation accuracy.
