Bearings used in robotic applications must have high precision, with good rotational accuracy and reliability. For example, articulated robotic arms require bearings in the rotating joints. Robot bearings are mainly thin-wall precision bearings and micro-miniature bearings. Both types of robotic bearings offer a high level of accuracy.
It is understandable that robots are playing an increasing role in modern life. As they become more adaptable and intuitive, manufacturers are realizing their potential to reduce costs, increase output, and provide greater efficiency and competitiveness.
More portable and affordable robotic arms are enabling more and more companies to enjoy the benefits of automation. Robots can also help with workplace health and safety by performing tasks in hazardous environments, eliminating the risk of injury or disease. They can help workers in monotonous or physically demanding jobs.
Robots provide accuracy and repeatability in painting, assembly, handling, welding, cutting, packaging and dispensing. They are used in the automotive, electronics, pharmaceutical and aerospace industries.
Robots are increasingly being used in the medical industry to enable surgeons to perform complex surgical procedures, often remotely, and to help with more natural movements of prosthetic limbs.
Thanks to recent developments in robotic exoskeletons, simple robots can also be worn. These help workers in factories or airports lift heavy objects, and workers in nursing homes lift people with far less chance of injury.
When robots need to work in extreme or controlled environments, our re-lubrication facilities allow us to provide specialized lubricants for robotic bearings for high temperature use, food or beverage production, clean rooms or vacuum environments.
