FD‑17 FD‑series modified flexible ball bearing features revised wall‑thickness and raceway profile for special harmonic‑reducer working‑conditions. Bears repeated elliptical‑deformation and alternating‑stress with reliable anti‑fatigue property. Widely used for non‑standard collaborative robot joints and custom‑built harmonic‑drive automation units.
Flexible ball bearings feature thin-walled flexible rings that undergo controlled elastic deformation during operation, enabling precise motion transmission through wave generator assemblies. Available in standard, ultra-thin, and high-fatigue designs, with bore diameters ranging from 20mm to 300mm. These bearings deliver high torsional stiffness, zero backlash, and exceptional positional accuracy, making them ideal for harmonic drive reducers, robotics joints, aerospace actuators, and precision positioning systems.
