Spherical Rolling Joint

High Rigidity and High Precision with Zero Clearance Rolling Guideways

Spherical Rolling Joint

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.

Model Configuration

Model Configuration

The standard product material is SUJ2 (high carbon, high chromium bearing steel).
Stainless steel is also used upon request.
Surface treatment (low-temperature black chromium treatment) can also be arranged.
Precision class SP is available for items SRJ008 to SRJ032.

Spherical Rolling Joint Short Shaft Type SRJSPRODUCTS

NEW!

Reduced height contributes to the utilization of limited space

Spherical Rolling Joint Short Shaft Type SRJS

SRJ is widely used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment and optical equipmentdue to its compatibility with tilt mechanisms.

In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for reducing the height of the tilt mechanism. We have added a short shaft type to our product lineup that reduces the height by shortening the shaft while maintaining the conventional high rigidity and high accuracy.

Features

Even more compact

Responding to requests to reduce the height direction, we have achieved a reduction of up to 35%.

Increased freedom of choice with additional options

Surface treatment and grease sealing are also available.
※Surface treatment and grease filling are also available.

Shorter delivery lead time

We have stocked these products as part of our standard lineup and shortened the delivery time.
These products are kept in stock as part of our standard lineup, enabling shorter delivery times.

Compatibility

Installation compatibility with conventional products and easy switching.
