RKS.161.16.1204-RKS.161 Crossed roller bearing

The single-row crossed roller slewing bearing with external gear is a precision-engineered rotational component designed for applications requiring high accuracy, exceptional rigidity, and reliable performance in a compact package. This bearing type incorporates cylindrical rollers arranged in a crossed pattern, delivering superior load capacity and rotational precision compared to conventional ball bearing designs.


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

Machine tools and coordinate measuring equipment



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 positioned alternately at 90° in a single raceway, enabling simultaneous contact with both axial and radial raceways.

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

✦ Monobloc ring construction – Inner and outer rings are manufactured as single-piece forgings, ensuring uninterrupted grain flow and structural integrity.

✦ Precision-ground raceways – Raceways are ground to a surface finish of 0.5 µm Ra and a tolerance class of P5 for smooth roller motion.

✦ Induction-hardened raceways – Rolling surfaces hardened to 58–62 HRC with a case depth of 2.0–3.0 mm, with gear teeth hardened to 50–55 HRC.

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


Features

✦ Minimizes machine height – The single-row crossed design achieves high rigidity with minimal axial height, ideal for low-profile machinery.

✦ Enables direct drive – The external gear allows a pinion to mesh directly, creating a simple, backlash-reduced drive train.

✦ Reduces wear from oscillation – Rollers contact both raceways at all times, preventing impact damage during frequent start-stop cycles.

✦ Simplifies assembly – The one-piece ring design requires no adjustment or shimming during installation.

✦ Quiet operation – Precision-ground surfaces and optimized roller spacing reduce vibration and noise in high-speed applications.

✦ Resists shock loads – The robust roller geometry absorbs sudden forces without permanent deformation.
