R9-55E3-Series 5000 inner gear

The single-row crossed roller slewing bearing with internal gear is a high-precision rotational component engineered for applications that demand superior accuracy, exceptional rigidity, and dependable performance in a compact design. This bearing type features cylindrical rollers arranged in a crossed pattern, delivering performance characteristics that make it ideal for precision-critical equipment.



Application Areas:

Robotics and automation equipment

Precision rotary tables and indexing systems

Radar and antenna positioning systems

Medical imaging and radiotherapy equipment

High-accuracy solar tracking systems



High load-carrying capacity
Resistance to high and low temperatures
Noise-free operation
Strictly controlled tolerances and appropriate internal clearance
Long service life and low maintenance requirements
Prevention of unexpected downtime (avoiding bearing fracture, seizure, and safety incidents caused by such failures, with anti-tilting capability)

Characteristics

✦ Single-row crossed roller arrangement – Cylindrical rollers arranged alternately at 90° in a single raceway, providing line contact with both axial and radial raceways.

✦ External gear on outer ring – Gear teeth are integrally hobbed on the outer circumference, featuring a 20° pressure angle spur profile with induction-hardened flanks.

✦ One-piece forged rings – Both rings are manufactured as single-piece forgings from 42CrMo4 steel, ensuring uniform grain flow and structural integrity.

✦ Precision-ground raceways – Raceways are ground to P5 tolerance class with a surface finish of 0.4 µm Ra.

✦ Selective hardening – Raceways hardened to 58–62 HRC with a case depth of 2.0–3.0 mm, gear teeth hardened to 50–55 HRC.

✦ Integrated seal grooves – Seal channels are machined into both rings to accommodate standard NBR or FKM lip seals.


Features

✦ Improves load distribution – The V-shaped raceway profile ensures even load spread across the full roller length, reducing peak stress.

✦ Simplifies pinion selection – DIN 3962 grade 6 gear teeth allow direct integration with standard pinions, eliminating the need for custom gears.

✦ Ensures consistent bolt tension – The tight flatness tolerance allows uniform bolt clamping force, preventing uneven ring distortion.

✦ Reduces seal wear – Optimized seal groove dimensions maintain proper lip compression, extending seal life.

✦ Guards against misalignment – The generous bolt hole chamfer facilitates pinion alignment without binding, simplifying assembly.

✦ Offers full material traceability – EN 10204 3.1 certification provides full chemical and mechanical property documentation.
