THK RA10008UUC0 Cross‑Roller Ring
RA10008UUC0 is an ultra‑thin‑type crossed roller bearing (Cross‑Roller Ring) from THK’s RA series, designed for inner‑ring rotation with high precision and compactness. It features an integrated inner ring and separable outer ring, with cylindrical rollers arranged perpendicularly in 90° V‑grooves via a precision spacer retainer.
RA10008UUC0 is an ultra‑thin‑type crossed roller bearing (Cross‑Roller Ring) from THK’s RA series, designed for inner‑ring rotation with high precision and compactness. It features an integrated inner ring and separable outer ring, with cylindrical rollers arranged perpendicularly in 90° V‑grooves via a precision spacer retainer. This design enables the bearing to support radial, axial, and moment loads simultaneously in an ultra‑slim profile. The model is factory‑equipped with double rubber contact seals (UU) and standard radial clearance (C0), ensuring contamination resistance and stable rotational performance.

Key Design Features
- Ultra‑Thin & High Rigidity: Crossed roller arrangement delivers 3–4× higher rigidity than conventional double‑row thin angular contact bearings in an ultra‑slim profile.
- Multi‑Directional Load Capacity: Single bearing supports radial, axial, and moment loads, simplifying mechanical design and reducing component count.
- Stable Low Torque: Spacer retainers prevent roller skewing and eliminate roller‑to‑roller friction, ensuring consistent, smooth rotation.
- Contamination Protection: UU double seals block dust, chips, and coolant ingress, extending service life in industrial environments.
- Easy Installation: Pre‑assembled with rollers and retainer for direct installation; separable outer ring simplifies mounting and alignment.
- Standard Clearance (C0): Factory‑set radial clearance ensures smooth operation and consistent performance under varying loads.
Typical Applications
- Precision rotary tables for medium‑sized machine tools and measuring instruments
- Industrial robot joints and end‑effector rotary stages
- Semiconductor manufacturing equipment (wafer handlers, inspection tools)
- Medical diagnostic and imaging equipment
- Optical positioning systems and precision automation modules
- Compact rotary actuators and lightweight robotic swiveling units
- High‑precision indexing tables and rotary actuators
