Robotics bearings white paper
18 June 2018
To advise manufacturers on best practice methods for selecting components for robots, SMB Bearings has published a white paper on Bearings for Robotics. The white paper is available to download on the SMB Bearings website.

Industrial robots are deployed on the production line for their precision and repeatability. This means that every component inside these machines has to contribute to maintaining this precision, something that is often overlooked. Consider a six-axis robot as an example.
These articulated robot arms require high levels of accuracy from their rotary joints to perform assembly processes correctly. Without the correct bearings, this precision cannot be maintained.
