At the heart of the ZR1 series is the single-row crossed roller configuration. Cylindrical rollers are arranged alternately at right angles to one another between the inner and outer rings, with each roller oriented perpendicular to its neighbor. This crossed layout allows a single raceway to effectively manage axial loads, radial loads, and tilting moments simultaneously. The line-contact between rollers and raceways provides exceptional structural rigidity, significantly outperforming ball-based designs under combined loading conditions.

The internal gear teeth are machined directly into the bore of the inner ring, with hobbing and induction hardening processes applied to ensure consistent tooth profile accuracy and long-term wear resistance. The rings are forged from high-grade alloy steel and machined to a square cross-section, offering a stiff and stable foundation for demanding operations.
