Crossed roller bearings

Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document outlines the technical specifications and guidelines for INA crossed roller bearings, which are designed for high precision applications. These bearings are noted for their compactness, ease of installation, and high load carrying capacity, making them suitable for various industrial uses.
Product Overview
The document introduces the SX, XSU, and XV series of crossed roller bearings, which support radial loads, axial loads from both directions, and tilting moments. The SX series ranges from 70 mm to 500 mm in bore diameter, while the XSU and XV series cover smaller and medium diameters.
Design and Features
The bearings combine radial and axial bearings into a single unit to reduce complexity and cost. The XSU series is preloaded and screw-mounted, while the XV series allows for preload adjustment via a split inner ring.
Technical Specifications
The document details static and dynamic load carrying capacities and provides guidelines for calculating these capacities, including tables and diagrams for determining the appropriate bearing size.
Lubrication and Maintenance
Guidelines for lubrication, including grease and oil options, are provided to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Maintenance procedures, including initial greasing and relubrication intervals, are outlined.
Installation and Fitting
Instructions for fitting the bearings, including preparation of the assembly area and adjacent construction, are detailed. The importance of checking bearing seats and mounting surfaces is emphasized.
Applications
Crossed roller bearings are suitable for machine tools, lifting gear, conveying equipment, vehicle components, precision engineering, medical equipment, and robotics.
Ordering Information
A detailed guide on ordering designations, including suffixes for special features such as preload and corrosion resistance, is provided.
Specifications and Safety Factors
The document emphasizes the importance of using appropriate safety factors in calculations, especially in special cases. A table of application factors (fA) is provided for determining equivalent bearing load.
Static and Dynamic Load Carrying Capacity
The static load carrying capacity is assessed using static limiting load diagrams, while dynamic load carrying capacity is determined by the material's fatigue behavior. Adjusted rating life calculations per ISO 281 are recommended if lubricant viscosity is inadequate.
Influences on Operating Life
Factors affecting operating life include oscillating motion, vibration, high temperatures, and incorrect maintenance. The document suggests comparing with similar applications for a reliable life estimate.
Fasteners and Load Carrying Capacity
The load carrying capacity of fixing screws is crucial and must be checked against static and dynamic loads. Guidelines for checking load capacity, including conditions for screw tightening and permissible contact pressure, are provided.
Lubrication
Proper lubrication is essential for longevity. The document discusses lubrication roles, types of lubricants, and criteria for grease selection based on operating temperature ranges.
Specifications and Characteristics of Greases
Greases are characterized by their base oil, viscosity, thickener, and additives. They are categorized into NLGI grades, with grades 1, 2, and 3 preferred for rolling bearings.
Behaviour in the Presence of Water
Water negatively affects bearing life. Greases are assessed for water resistance and anti-corrosion characteristics.
Pressure Properties
Viscosity must be high enough at operating temperatures to form a lubricant film capable of supporting loads. Greases with EP characteristics and high base oil viscosity are recommended for high loads.
Miscibility and Storage
Greases must have compatible properties to be mixed and can be stored for up to 3 years under specific conditions.
Initial Greasing and Relubrication
INA crossed roller bearings are supplied greased with a lithium complex soap grease. Relubrication should use the same grease as initial operation.
Oil Lubrication
For oil lubrication, INA recommends oils of type CL/CLP or HL/HLP with at least the nominal viscosity at operating temperature.
Sealing of Bearing Arrangements
INA provides various seal profiles for bearing arrangements, with standard material NBR 70 suitable for temperatures from –40 °C to +80 °C.
Design of Bearing Arrangements
INA crossed roller bearings support high loads and require rigid support from adjacent construction. Fixing screws of grade 10.9 are recommended.
Specifications
The document outlines specifications for crossed roller bearings, focusing on bearing seat depth (t) which influences clearance and rotational resistance. Preloaded bearings have higher rotational resistance.
Design and Mounting
Figures and tables provide dimensions for mounting, emphasizing precise housing and shaft design with specific tolerances and surface quality requirements.
Fitting Procedures
Fitting requires careful handling to avoid contamination and damage. The document advises on preparing the assembly area and ensuring correct use of fasteners.
Storage and Handling
Bearings are greased and preserved for storage in a closed, dry environment. Guidelines for unpacking and transporting bearings are provided.
General Safety and Operating Guidelines
Assembly forces should only be applied to the bearing ring being fitted, avoiding direct blows and excessive heating or cooling.
Specifications and Procedures
Detailed procedures for fitting crossed roller bearings focus on positioning and securing clamping rings, with emphasis on tightening screws in a crosswise sequence.
Fitting Preparations
Before fitting, it is recommended to lightly oil or grease the bearing seat and locating surfaces, except for screws secured by adhesive.
Locating Bearing Rings
Steps for inserting and securing bearing rings include using INA precision locknuts to set bearing clearance or preload.
Checking Functionality
After assembly, the operation of the fitted bearing must be checked for irregularities, roughness, or unusual temperature increases.
Tightening Torques and Preload Forces
Table 1 provides tightening torques and assembly preload forces for torque-controlled tightening of fixing screws.
Features of Crossed Roller Bearings
Crossed roller bearings are complete units capable of supporting axial, radial, and tilting moment loads, suitable for high speeds and available in corrosion-resistant designs.
Precision Locknuts
Precision locknuts are used to axially locate the split inner ring and set bearing clearance or preload.
Dimension Tables
Dimension tables for various series of crossed roller bearings detail mass, dimensions, and running accuracy relative to the raceway.

Crossed roller bearings INA crossed roller bearings SX have long been the optimum solution in technical and economic terms where compact, easy-to-fit bearings with high tilting moment load carrying capacity, rigidity and accuracy are required in a bearing position. These bearings can support radial loads, axial loads from both directions, tilting moments and any combination of loads. As a result, conventional bearing arrangements with radial and axial bearings can generally be reduced to a single bearing position. This reduces, in some cases considerably, the costs and work required in the design...
