Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm (SCARA) robots are widely used in assembly processes. These robots feature three rotational joints with parallel axes, enabling precise positioning and orientation within a plane. This design makes them lightweight and highly responsive, operating several times faster than conventional articulated robots. Similar to a human arm, SCARA robots can reach into confined spaces for tasks such as moving and placing objects, making them ideal for industries including plastics, automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and food. Their primary functions include part handling and assembly.
Given the requirements for lightweight and high-speed response, the harmonic reducers used in SCARA robot joints must offer low friction torque, high precision, and long wear-resistant life. Beining Technology’s SHF series crossed roller bearings are specifically designed for use in harmonic reducers across various types of robots, including those manufactured by Harmonic Drive LLC. For example, an automation company uses SHF25 harmonic reducer bearings in the axis joints of SCARA robots, which are suitable for SHF series harmonic reducers.
