Why are Lightweight slewing rings, (bearings) rapidly becoming the first choice for design engineers in demanding motion control applications, for example in the aerospace and defense industries?

In applications that require a bearing to support a structure while it rotates (e.g. cranes, radar, tank turrets), premature bearing failure can put people and equipment at risk. While slewing ring ...

Slewing ring bearings — the bearings that find use on cranes, wind turbines, and other smaller designs — are sometimes cut with teeth to double as gears. Let’s review the benefits and challenges of ...

Recent advancements in the study of slewing and ball bearings have significantly enhanced our understanding of their dynamic behaviour, load distribution, fatigue life and overall performance. These ...

Consider the humble ball bearing. Ubiquitous, useful, and presently annoying teachers the world over in the form of fidget spinners. One thing ball bearings aren’t is easily 3D printed. It’s hard to ...
