What is a Robot bearings?

Robot bearings are high-precision components used in the joints and rotational parts of industrial robots and automation equipment. They are essential for ensuring smooth motion, reducing friction, and withstanding repetitive operations. Common types include cross-roller bearings, ball bearings, and thrust bearings, each selected based on the robot’s application and design. As robotics technology advances toward compact and high-precision systems, there is growing demand for lightweight, space-saving, and well-sealed bearings. The performance of these bearings directly affects the robot’s accuracy, speed, and durability, making them a crucial element in modern robot design.

Application of Robot bearings

✅ Joints of Articulated Robots (Robot Arms)
Bearings used: Cross-roller bearings, thin-section bearings
They enhance rotational accuracy and enable smooth motion and precise positioning. Bearings must withstand complex load directions.
✅ Horizontal Rotation Axis of SCARA Robots
Bearings used: Angular contact bearings, thrust bearings
These bearings support high-speed and high-precision rotation with low friction and stable performance.
✅ Wheel Axles of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)
Bearings used: Deep groove ball bearings with dust seals
They require durability and maintenance-free operation for continuous use, with dust resistance and shock absorption.
✅ Rotating Torch Section of Welding Robots
Bearings used: High-temperature bearings, ceramic ball bearings
Bearings must resist high heat and sparks, providing thermal durability and electrical insulation.
