First published in 1990. This book describes the design, selection and mounting of rolling bearings in industrial robots. The text includes discussion of all the factors to be considered 1f the resulting bearing system is to be reliable, including types and sizes of bearings, lubrication, and the design of housing shafts. This volume will be of interest to engineers engaged in the specification, design. and development of precision bearings.
Takeo Yoda, Nobou Obokata and Shoichi Hioki are all based at the Development Headquarters of the NTN Toyo Bearing Co. Ltd. in Japan .
