Compact bearings with integrated magnetic mounts

Rodriguez

Rodriguez developed special bearings with integrated magnetic mounts for a well-known company in the optical industry, which are required as a horizontal axis of rotation for an optical system. The customer opted for a system solution because the entire turning mode could be made flatter. The complete bearing system is manufactured in-house by Rodriguez, only the special seal and the rolling elements are purchased parts.

In the present case, however, it is not just the compact design that poses a challenge: the additional inclusion of magnets for the direct drive motor reduces the wall thickness to a minimum - the bearing performance must not suffer as a result. The Rodriguez experts also faced a problem with the seal: Despite the thin wall thickness, it should guarantee a high sealing effect.

The result is impressive: The integration of bores, mounting cones and magnets for the direct drive motor, among other things, results in an extremely compact and highly precise system solution with a very small concentricity and axial run-out (less than 5 µm). Thanks to Rodriguez's system solution, the customer was even able to make his entire unit even more compact.
