Prius designs and manufactures a variety of crossed roller bearings that can handle radial, thrust and moment loads at the same time. These compact bearings feature rollers crossed at right angles between inner and outer rings.
Widely used in machine tools, industrial robots and medical equipment because of their high rotational accuracy.
Roller guide options include a cage or separator as well as a full complement design. Both the cage and separator styles offer a small coefficient of friction for high-speed rotation. Full complement bearings handle heavy loads at low speeds.
Sealed and open designs are available. Sealed bearings incorporate synthetic rubber seals to protect against dust, dirt and grease.
