In modern smart manufacturing and automated production, industrial robot arms have become the core equipment for high-efficiency and high-precision operations. To achieve smooth joint motion and accurate positioning, robot arms require compact, stable, and high-performance bearings. Among them, thin section bearings play a key role.
Features of Thin Section Bearings
Thin section bearings are rolling bearings designed to minimize cross-sectional thickness while maintaining inner and outer diameters. Compared with conventional bearings, they are lighter and take up less space, making them ideal for robot arm joints and end effectors where installation space is limited.
Key Advantages:
Lightweight: Reduces joint load, increases speed and energy efficiency.
High Precision: Meets sub-millimeter positioning accuracy requirements.
Low Friction: Minimizes starting torque and improves joint responsiveness.
Long Service Life: Optimized design and materials for continuous high-speed operation.
Applications in Industrial Robot Arms
Joint Rotation Axes
Provide high load capacity in limited space, ensuring smooth and efficient joint rotation.
End Effectors
Guarantee accuracy and stability for gripping, welding, assembly, and other tasks.
High-Speed Motion Sections
Suitable for high-speed sorting robots or collaborative robots, enabling fast, smooth movements.
Lightweight Robot Arms
Essential for weight-sensitive robots, improving flexibility and reducing overall mass.
Common Types of Thin Section Bearings
Precision Ball Bearings – Ideal for high-speed, high-accuracy joint drives.
Thin Section Ball Bearings – Available in:
C-Type (Deep Groove ball)
A-Type (Angular Contact ball)
X-Type (Four-Point Contact ball)
Each type is designed to handle specific radial and axial load requirements.
For harsh industrial environments, materials such as stainless steel or hybrid ceramics can be used, along with special sealing and lubrication solutions to resist dust, humidity, and temperature changes.
