Meeting Market Demands of Our Robotics Manufacturers and Customers
At Saint-Gobain we are helping manufacturers meet the needs of this fast growing marketplace by collaborating on their specific requirements.
Manufacturers are fine-tuning the 'small parts' of their robots, the smaller components that make a big difference to quality and performance.
NORGLIDE® Bearings and RENCOL® Tolerance Rings are utilized and effective in numerous robotics systems. Their durability under loads, corrosion resistance, and ability to comply with mating tolerances, are primary reasons for their popularity.
Noise Free components make for a squeak-free, quiet movement, while Smart Design means that less material is needed to build a robot, reducing cost and overall weight. Long Life means components operate at optimum efficiency again and again with no degradation in performance. Perfect Fit provides the compensation of mating component tolerances and misalignment.
Robotics Applications
A RENCOL® Tolerance Ring is used to control the torque of the Drive Gear and protecting the system from overload.
A NORGLIDE® Bearing is used to directly replace the needle bearing within a drive.
The Pivot uses a NORGLIDE® Bearing to provide tolerance compensation and stabilize torque. The bearing's load capability supports consistent operation over the complete life cycle.
A RENCOL® Tolerance Ring is used to Mount a Bearing to relax mating component tolerances.
A RENCOL® Tolerance Ring is used to provide a certain torque when moved and holding the pivot in position when the force is removed.
