The core function of bearings is to reduce friction, assist rotation and carry loads. They are mainly used in important components such as reducers, motors, and lead screws. As you can imagine, bearings are important in robots! When choosing bearings for robots, you need to consider them comprehensively from multiple dimensions. The following will introduce the key points when choosing robot bearings in detail.

1 Clarify the application scenarios and working conditions of robots

Load type and size
Select bearings with corresponding load capacity based on the size of radial, axial and overturning moment loads that the robot bears in actual operations.

Running speed
Robots running at high speeds have high requirements for the accuracy, dynamic performance and lubrication performance of bearings.

Working temperature
Robots working in high or low temperature environments need to choose bearings with special materials and lubrication methods. For example, in a high temperature environment, the performance of metal materials will change. At this time, it may be necessary to use bearings made of high-temperature resistant alloy materials and match them with high-temperature grease. In a low temperature environment, ordinary grease may solidify, and a lubricant with good low-temperature performance is required.

2 Pay attention to the accuracy and reliability of bearings

Accuracy level
Robots have high requirements for motion accuracy, and usually need to choose P5, P4 or even higher accuracy bearings to ensure the positioning accuracy and repeatability of the robot during motion.

Reliability
Choose reliable bearing products produced by bearing manufacturers, and consider their service life and maintenance costs.

3 Conduct cost-benefit analysis.

Compare the costs of bearings of different brands and specifications on the premise of meeting the performance requirements of the robot. Not only the purchase cost of the bearing should be considered, but also its service life, maintenance cost, replacement cost and other factors should be considered comprehensively to achieve the best cost-effectiveness.
