Miniaturization of the robot head axis, achieved with Kaidon ultra-thin bearings!
Kaidon ultra-thin bearings contribute to miniaturization and space-saving of products.
Kaidon ultra-thin bearings have been adopted in various robots due to their compact size, space-saving design, and customization according to specifications for operation in special environments (vacuum, high temperature/low temperature) and high precision requirements. We provide optimal bearings based on approximately 80 years of experience. **Benefits of Adopting Kaidon** - Minimizes the space occupied by bearings in equipment - Reduces the weight of the equipment - Allows for a larger inner diameter of the hollow shaft, enabling the use of internal space for wiring, etc. - Prevents outgassing by changing bearing materials - Applicable to various environmental temperatures - Specifications tailored to applications, such as increasing rigidity by adjusting internal gaps - Selection of high precision specifications is also possible **Examples of Adoption** - Semiconductor transport robots (for atmospheric and vacuum environments) - Industrial robots (for painting, welding, etc.) - Humanoid robots - Laser cutting robots, among others **You can download examples of the adoption of the laser cutting robot "Robocut" from here.**
