Slewing Bearings
Also called turntable bearings or slewing rings, designed to handle heavy loads, these bearings play a crucial role in various applications, particularly in machinery and equipment that require 360-degree rotation, such as cranes, excavators, wind turbines, industrial turntables, and more
Slewing bearings are specialized components designed to handle heavy loads and facilitate smooth 360-degree rotational movement in various industrial applications. Their robust construction and versatility make them indispensable in machinery and equipment that require precision positioning and manoeuvrability.
They consist of two essential components: an inner ring and an outer ring. These rings have specialized raceways that facilitate axial, radial, and moment loads, making them highly versatile for various applications.
Slewing bearings are engineered to support substantial axial, radial, and tilting moment loads, making them ideal for heavy machinery and equipment. Their load-carrying capacity depends on their size, design, and the materials used in their construction.
The primary purpose of slewing bearings is to enable 360-degree rotational movement around a central axis. They allow equipment and machinery to pivot, swivel, and turn smoothly. This characteristic is essential for applications that require precise positioning and manoeuvrability.
