RB40040 Crossed Roller Bearing
The RB40040 crossed roller bearing is a high-precision, compact bearing designed for applications requiring exceptional rigidity and rotational accuracy within limited installation space. Its structure features cylindrical rollers arranged alternately at right angles between the inner and outer rings, allowing the bearing to support loads in all directions - radial, axial, and moment loads - simultaneously.
The RB series adopts an integrated outer ring and a separable inner ring, making it ideal for installations where high precision of the outer ring rotation is essential. The RB40040 model offers excellent stiffness, smooth running performance, and simplified mounting, making it a reliable choice for precision rotary tables, robotic joints, and advanced machine tools.
Optimized Load Balance
Each roller alternates in perpendicular orientation, enabling uniform load distribution across all directions.
Superior Rigidity
Compact cross-section provides excellent stiffness without increasing system size.
High Running Accuracy
Precision machining ensures smooth rotation and minimal friction torque.
Stable Under Moment Loads
Designed to sustain combined loads including overturning moments.
