AXRY-EX bearings are double-direction, screw-on precision bearing units, ready for installation and intended for highly-rigid applications such as rotary tables or milling heads.

The bearing absorbs axial and radial forces as well as tilting moments backlash-free. AXRY-EX bearings are suitable for lifetime grease lubrication and are designed for maximum rigidity.

The friction torques of the bearing have been optimised, so that the starting torque and the running torque are almost identical.

In this way, myonic AXRY-EX bearings fulfil all the requirements for modern, highly-dynamic and direct-driven machine axes.

Generation Note
  • AXRY-EX will be replaced by the new-generation AXRY-NGX in the future.
  • For high-speed applications, the AXRY-NGS bearings are recommended.

Accuracy and Designs

AXRY-EX bearings offer a complete range of accuracy and design options, including:

Option Category Description
Axial and radial runout limitation The axial and radial runout can be limited as required
Height tolerances H1/H2 H1 and H2 height tolerance classes are available
Supported L-section ring AC Can be supplied with a supported L-section ring (AC design)

All of the above designs are available without limitations and can be selected according to application requirements.

Measuring System

AXRY-EX bearings can be equipped with inductive angle measurement systems. These are available in incremental and absolute designs, including single-head and multi-head systems in a wide range of accuracies.

Mounting the measuring system directly onto the bearing exploits the high precision of the bearing rings, minimising the concentricity error of the reading head relative to the shaft (table) and thereby achieving maximum angle measurement accuracy.

Measuring System Types
  • Incremental: outputs pulse signals of relative angular displacement
  • Absolute: outputs the absolute angular position, with no loss of position information after power-off
  • Both are available as single-head or multi-head systems in a range of accuracy classes

For further details, see the measuring systems chapter.

Typical Applications

  • Rotary tables - milling rotary tables of machining centres
  • Milling heads - five-axis machining centres
  • Direct-driven machine axes - highly-dynamic direct-drive rotary axes
