In modern industrial and service robots, there are usually multiple rotating joints. These joints’ rotation needs bearings to support them. And great quality bearings can help the joints and motion systems move smoothly.
In transmission systems, many key components such as servo motors, gears, reducers, etc., require bearings. Bearings play an important role in supporting and reducing friction in these parts. High-quality bearings help to ensure that robots can complete power transmission smoothly and efficiently, finally, reach improving the overall performance of the robots.
A lot of robots are equipped with mechanical grippers for grasping and manipulating objects. The grippers’ rotating parts also rely on bearings for precise control.
In high-precision applications including medical robots, surgical robots or micro robots,etc., the requirements for bearings are more stringent. These robots need lighter weight, higher precision and higher reliability. In addition, many robots that work in special environments (vacuum environments or high temperature environments) need using specially designed bearings to ensure that the robot can operate stably and reliably.
