Slewing bearings: A key component of industrial robots

Robot bearings are one of the key components of industrial robots, mainly used in robotic equipment such as welding robots and industrial robots. Their main function is to support the rotational and translational movements of robots, while bearing the load of robots, ensuring the motion accuracy and stability of robots.

The structural feature of robot bearings is that there are crossed rollers arranged between their inner and outer rings. This arrangement can simultaneously bear the combined load of radial force, bidirectional axial force and overturning moment. Crossed roller bearings have the advantages of high load-carrying capacity, high rigidity, high precision, high rotational accuracy and low friction, so they can significantly reduce the motion noise and friction of robots, and improve the motion accuracy and stability of robots.

Robot bearings have a wide range of applications. In welding robots, robot bearings are mainly used to support the rotational and translational movements of the robot, while bearing the load of the robot, ensuring the motion accuracy and stability of the robot. In industrial robots, robot bearings are also one of the key components, mainly used to support the rotational and translational movements of the robot, while bearing the load of the robot, ensuring the motion accuracy and stability of the robot.

The development trend of robot bearings is lightweight, high precision and high reliability. With the continuous development of robot technology, the load of robots is increasing, and the requirements for robot bearings are also getting higher and higher. Therefore, lightweight, high-precision and high-reliability robot bearings will become the future development trend. At the same time, with the continuous development of technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, the intelligence of robot bearings will also become an important development direction.

 I. Bearing Installation

The following points should be noted when installing robot bearings:

• Correctly set the bearing clearance and avoid over-tightening, otherwise, it will affect theaccuracy and service life of the robot.

• Avoid excessive impact on the bearing and follow the correct disassembly and installation procedures.

• Ensure the cleanliness of the bearing and its surrounding environment, and the correct use of lubricating oil, etc.

• Prevent bearing vibration by carefully inspecting the base and support, and ensuring thecorrect design of plastic sleeves, etc.

II.Bearing Maintenance

Robot bearings require regular maintenance, and common maintenance methods includecleaning, oil change, and bearing replacement.

(1) Cleaning

Dust and dirt will accumulate on robot bearings during application, so regular cleaning is necessary to ensure their normal operation.

(2) Oil Change

The lubricating oil of robot bearings needs to be replaced regularly to ensure the lubricationeffect.

(3) Bearing Replacement

If robot bearings are damaged or malfunctioning, they need to be replaced in a timely manner.
