The crossed roller bearing was originally designed, patented, and manufactured by Messinger Bearings.

The crossed roller bearing, aka "cross roller bearing" is designed to handle all combinations of radial, axial and overturning moment loads in a single, compact envelope.

This versatile solution can be supplied in standard cross sections or with bolt-down, offset races for extreme slewing applications.

This bearing is a good choice if a high degree of stiffness is required, however it requires rigid and precise mounting surfaces. Cross Roller Bearings can be supplied with internal or external integral gearing.
