Oct 15, 2024

The advantages of the long and short roller cross design in four-row cylindrical rollers are mainly reflected in structural characteristics, load-bearing capacity, running accuracy, installation and maintenance convenience, and wide application. The following is a detailed explanation of these advantages:

1. Structural characteristics and stability.

Prevent roller tilting and friction: The long and short roller cross design arranges the rollers perpendicular to each other through spacers or isolation blocks, effectively preventing the rollers from tilting during operation, thereby avoiding mutual friction and wear between the rollers and improving the stability and service life of the bearing.

Optimize load distribution: The cross arrangement of long and short rollers enables the bearing to withstand loads from all directions, including radial loads, axial loads, and moment loads. This design optimizes the distribution of loads inside the bearing and improves the bearing's load capacity and stability.

2. Load capacity and rigidity.

Improve load capacity: Due to the cross arrangement of long and short rollers, the bearing has a higher load capacity at the same size. This design enables the bearing to maintain a stable operating state when bearing heavy loads, improving the whole performance and reliability of the equipment.

Enhanced rigidity: The cross-arranged roller structure enhances the rigidity of the bearing, making it less likely for the bearing to deform when subjected to external forces, thus ensuring the processing accuracy and operating stability of the equipment.

3. Operation accuracy and stability.

High-precision rotation: Due to the spacing retainer between the rollers and the inner and outer ring segmentation structure, the bearing can perform high-precision rotation even if it is pre-loaded. This high-precision rotation characteristic enables the bearing to perform well in precision machining and high-speed operation.

Smooth operation: The cross-arrangement of long and short rollers makes the bearing more stable during operation, reduces vibration and noise, and improves the operating efficiency and comfort of the equipment.

4. Convenient installation and maintenance

Simplified installation operation: The four-row cylindrical roller bearing is divided into two parts: the inner ring and the outer ring. After the rollers and retainers are installed, the installation can be completed by a simple fixing operation. This design makes the installation process of the bearing simpler and faster.

Easy maintenance: Due to the optimization of the bearing structure and the improvement of the sealing performance, the maintenance difficulty of the bearing is greatly reduced. During the maintenance process, the worn parts can be easily checked and replaced, which extends the service life of the bearing.

5. Wide application.

Industrial robots: Four-row cylindrical roller bearings with long and short roller cross designs are very suitable for the joints or rotating parts of industrial robots due to their high load capacity and high-precision rotation characteristics, which improve the robot's motion accuracy and stability.

Machining center: In the rotary table of the machining center, the rotating part of the manipulator, and on other occasions, this type of bearing can withstand large loads and provide high-precision rotational motion, meeting the needs of high-precision processing.

Other fields: In addition, this type of bearing is also widely used in precision rotary tables, medical machines, measuring instruments, IC manufacturing devices and other fields, providing stable and reliable support for the equipment in these fields.

In summary, the advantages of the long and short roller cross design in the four-row cylindrical roller are its unique structural characteristics, high load capacity and rigidity, high-precision rotation and smooth operation, the convenience of installation and maintenance, and a wide range of applications. These advantages have made this bearing widely used and recognized in various fields.
