IKO designs and manufactures a variety of crossed roller bearings that can handle radial, thrust and moment loads at the same time. These compact bearings feature rollers crossed at right angles between inner and outer rings.
 

The rollers make line-contact with raceway surfaces, and therefore, elastic deformation due to bearing loads is very small. They can take loads from any directions at the same time such as radial thrust and moment loads. It is possible to make your design compact comparing to the usage of taper roller bearing and combination of two ball bearings. These bearings are widely used in the rotating parts of industrial robots, machine tools, medical equipment, etc., which require compactness, high rigidity and high rotational accuracy.
