Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why are crossed roller bearings used as the output bearing in harmonic reducers?
Crossed roller bearings arrange cylindrical rollers at alternating 90-degree angles between inner and outer rings. This orthogonal configuration allows a single bearing to carry radial, axial, and moment loads simultaneously with exceptional rigidity in a very thin cross-section. For harmonic reducer output shafts, this means zero-backlash torque transmission and repeatable positioning accuracy in a compact envelope that fits the thin-profile design of strain wave gear systems. BOM also manufactures flexible bearings (wave generator bearings) for the input side of harmonic drive units.
What quality standards does BOM apply to harmonic reducer bearings?
BOM manufactures harmonic reducer bearings under ISO 9001, IATF 16949, and ISO 14001 certified quality systems. Every bearing undergoes full-range dimensional inspection and performance testing to ensure smooth rotation, low noise, and repeatable positioning accuracy required by collaborative robots, SCARA systems, and high-precision automation equipment.
Can BOM customize harmonic reducer bearings for non-standard applications?
Yes. BOM manufactures full-specification custom bearings including non-standard dimensions, alternative materials (stainless steel, ceramic hybrid), specialized coatings (DLC, TiN, CrN), custom preload specifications, and complete bearing architecture redesign. Our engineering team works directly with your application requirements to develop optimized solutions.
What materials are harmonic reducer bearings manufactured from?
Standard harmonic reducer bearings use high-grade bearing steel (100Cr6 / SUJ2) selected for exceptional precision and fatigue resistance. For specialized applications, BOM manufactures custom bearings in stainless steel, ceramic hybrid configurations, and other advanced materials. Specialized coatings including DLC, TiN, and CrN are available to extend bearing life in demanding environments.
How do I select the correct size harmonic reducer bearing for my application?
Harmonic reducer bearing sizes are matched to harmonic drive reducer frame sizes (14 through 65). Consult the harmonic drive reducer specification sheet to identify your frame size, then reference BOM's dimensions table above for the corresponding crossed roller output bearing dimensions. For non-standard or specialized applications, contact BOM engineering for application review and custom bearing recommendation.
