Customized for robotics: the new CW cross roller bearings
Industrial robots are booming worldwide. The US and China are driving growth, with double-digit growth rates anticipated over the next several years.
With its custom bearing solutions, CW Bearing is an essential supplier for this dynamic industry.
The most important performance indicators of industrial robots are running stability, repeatability, rotational accuracy, and occupational safety. For the limited installation space, thin-walled deep groove ball bearings, angular contact ball bearings and so-called flex bearings have long been an important part of our product portfolio. In particular, axes 2 to 4 of robots require very precise, rigid bearings for high loads and torques. To address this, we have added the cross roller bearing to our offerings.
CW cross roller bearings are suitable for applications with both rotating inner and outer rings. Depending on your application and needs, we offer split or solid rings. The option with undivided inner and outer rings offers maximum rigidity. We also provide your cross roller bearing with a lubricant tailored to the application, and seals (if necessary).
In addition to industrial robots, rotary tables for machine tools, torque motors, 3D scanners, medical and metrological devices are typical applications for our cross roller bearings. Do you have a vacant storage location in such an application? Then let us know. We are happy to find a custom solution for you.
