· Ring: Usually consists of inner ring and outer ring, one fixed and the other rotating. One of the ring has gears for driving.
· Rolling Elements: Balls or rollers, are the core parts for load transmission.
· Spacer / Cage: Maintains the spacing between rolling elements to prevent collision.
· Sealing Strip: Prevents the leakage of the internal lubricating grease and the intrusion of external impurities (such as water, dust, etc.).
· Lubricator Fitting: Used for regular addition of lubricating grease to ensure long-term operation.
· Installation Holes: Used to firmly fix the swivel support on the upper and lower supports (such as the turntable and chassis).
Main Application Fields
Slewing bearing serves as the "joints" enabling 360-degree rotation for numerous heavy and precision equipment, and is widely used in:
· Construction Machinery
Truck cranes, tower cranes, crawler cranes, excavators, concrete pump trucks, rotary drilling rigs.
· Wind Power Equipment
Main shafts and yaw systems of wind turbines.
· Aerospace
Turret of tanks and armored vehicles, radar antenna bases, missile launchers.
· Port Machinery
Container quay cranes, gantry cranes, bridge cranes.
· Industrial Automation:
Welding positioners, CNC rotary tables, industrial robots (core component in RV reducers).
· Solar Energy
Rotating bases of solar PV photovoltaic tracking systems.
