Light Duty Slewing Bearings

Slewing bearings are used in a number of industries, from marine and aviation to factory automation. They provide a variety of movement requirements and are essential in industrial rotary devices. A slewing bearing consists of an inner ring and an outer ring. The inner ring carries the load while the outer ring guides the movement. These bearings can be driven by an external belt or a gear.

Light duty slewing ring bearings are used in a variety of applications. One example is bottling machines. They can be driven by a belt or a gear to make relative rotary motion between two objects. In this situation, it's important for the bearing to be able to handle axial force and moment loads.

For these applications, it is important for the slewing bearing to have the right amount of precision. It is also important for the bearing to be manufactured with high-quality steel. If the bearings are not made of quality steel, they will not be able to perform efficiently.

There are many different types of slewing rings, including double-row ball slewing ring bearings and slewing rings with internal gears. These rings are ideal for use with heavy-duty equipment because they can handle a large radial moment, as well as a high radial torque. Depending on the application, it is possible to have a slewing ring with a unique bolt pattern that makes the slewing ring more accurate.

KMI offers several slewing bearings that are designed to meet specific requirements. This series of slew bearings is made from durable materials and are designed to offer excellent performance and repeatability. Moreover, it can be paired with KTE series bearings to ensure a high level of reliability.

MT series slewing bearings are available in a wide range of sizes. They can be utilized in a variety of industries, including forestry, marine, mining, construction, agricultural, and automotive. They are an economical alternative to kingpost designs.

UNASIS Bearings are also designed to be lightweight, with exceptional static-load ratings and shock-load capacities. They are specially suited for use in mobile and factory automation applications, where lightweight and high-capacity bearings are critical. They can be customized to fit any application.

Fenghe slewing bearings are designed for a wide range of applications, from a no-gear series to a large diameter slewing bearing. They can be used for testing or large-diameter slewing bearings, and they can be manufactured with balls or rollers. With the help of an engineering team, they can provide support for special application situations.

Other bearing manufacturers include LYJW, Silverthin, and Kaydon. Each manufacturer has a full line of light duty slewing ring bearings. Many are used in a variety of industrial applications, such as filling machines, cranes, and digger derricks.

As with other types of slewing bearings, the size of the slewing ring depends on the type of material being used. Typically, light duty slewing ring bearings will be constructed of C45 or 42CrMo. However, for heavier-duty applications, materials such as 50Mn are also commonly used.
