Spherical Rolling Joint
High Rigidity and High Precision with Zero Clearance Rolling Guideways
The essential multi-degree-of-freedom joints for parallel mechanisms have conventionally been obtained 2 to 3 degrees of freedom with combinations of spherical joints. However, such spherical joints combinations often lead to structural complexity and bulkiness.
There are multi-degree-of-freedom sliding spherical ball bearings available, but they come with large frictional resistance and internal clearance issues.
Hephaist has developed SRJ - Spherical Rolling Joints as the solutions to all these issues.
Features
High Precision
The moving parts of SRJ are preloaded rolling bearing structure, and it makes SRJ achieved high accuracy with low frictional resistance and zero clearance.
Downsizing
SRJ achieving higher rigidity and downsizing compared to a combination of rolling bearings with 3 degrees of freedom.
Highly Suited for Parallel Mechanisms
Optimal for parallel mechanisms requiring high precision, high rigidity, and compactness.
Super-Precise Spherical Surface Processing
Unique Hephaist processing technology provides super-precise spherical surfaces.

Note 1) Delivered with rust-preventive oil as standard.If the customer specifies a grease, it will be applied.
Note 2) When the axis is turned, the retainer projects beyond the bottom of the housing, so the mounting face on the other side has to be machined to create a recess.
