Characteristics and applications of slewing bearings

Swivel bearings are large-sized bearings capable of withstanding mixed loads, i.e., axial and radial loads as well as tilting moments. They are usually fitted with bolt holes, internal or external gear, lubrication holes, and insulating seals to provide an optimum compact arrangement. This, in turn, often eliminates many of the components required in a classic bearing arrangement.

"CEPRUS" slewing rings have proven their worth in the following applications:

  • construction, self-propelled mobile, and tower cranes
  • slewing rotary grabs and drums
  • bucket and disc excavators
  • calibrating and sorting machines
  • industrial log pavers, loaders, waste haulers, hydraulic clamping equipment
  • half axles and undercarriages
  • assembly and repair platforms
  • robots, manipulators, and positioning devices
  • machine tools
  • special equipment (rescue vehicles, auto-mechanical ladders, feller-buncher, and tunnel bunchers, drilling equipment
  • wind power plants, wastewater treatment and bottling machinery)

Advantages: compactness, precision, and smooth operation in relatively high rigidity combined with easy installation.
