Now Accepting Orders for the High-Speed Roller Ring Model RT: Supporting Higher Speeds for Machine Tool Rotary Tables
THK is now accepting orders for the High-Speed Roller Ring Model RT.
The cross-roller rings that THK has developed to this point are utilized in many industrial machines because they are able to handle loads from various directions. The field of machine tools is one place where cross-roller rings are used that has recently seen increased demand for compound processing equipment with five or more axes that can do everything from cutting to lathing all in one machine. Such machines require table bearings with high rigidity and high-speed performance.
The Model RT is a high-speed roller ring that provides high-speed rotary performance through the use of a three-row roller contact structure suited to high-speed rotation. By suppressing heat generation during high-speed rotation, it achieves a Dpw·N value of 300,000, which is three to five times that of existing products. Additionally, the inner and outer rings feature mounting holes that make it possible to secure the product directly onto a shaft or housing, which reduces the number of peripheral components required for product installation.
Our four-model product lineup contributes to shortened cycle times by providing faster rotation for rotary tables in machining centers, compound processing machines, 5-axis machines, and more.
THK will continue to contribute to high accuracy, high rigidity, and high-speed performance for a wide range of equipment, from general industrial machinery to precision machinery and high-accuracy machine tools.

Features
Superior high-speed rotary performance
The High-Speed Roller Ring Model RT has a three-roller contact structure suitable for high-speed rotation that suppresses heat generation during high-speed rotation to achieve a Dpw·N value of 300,000.
Dimensions interchangeable with existing roller rings
The Model RT can be utilized interchangeably with the highly rigid Double-Row Angular Contact Roller Ring Model RW in different applications due to having the same internal and external diameter, width, and mounting hole positions.
Easy to install
This product features mounting holes in the inner and outer rings, allowing the product to attach directly to shafts and housings. Because of that, other components that would be needed for mounting can be eliminated. In addition, you can choose the mounting surface orientation of the inner ring based on the way the product will be mounted to your equipment.
