Slewing bearings comprise an inner ring and an outer ring, one of which usually incorporates a gear. Together with attachment holes in both rings, they enable an optimized power transmission with a simple and quick connection between adjacent machine components.
Slewing Ring Bearing Applications in Different Industries- Construction - supports heavy loads for slow applications and large equipment (as in construction cranes)
- Industrial - Mining, Steel, Agriculture, Oil & Gas.
- Robotics equipment.
- Machine tools.
- Medical applications.
- Aerospace & Defense.
The slewing ring sits between an excavator's house and undercarriage, allowing the house to spin freely and the excavator's attachments to quickly reach locations to the sides and even behind the excavator's tracks or wheels.
In operation, the slew drive's axial movement, or motion around its axis, interacts to create radial torque. The action occurs by meshing the grooves of the horizontal screw with the teeth of a perpendicular gear. While turning, the worm gear's axial movement transfers magnified torque force to the radial gear
