Ready-to-fit rolling bearing with housing rings and connection holes.
A bearing assembly is a mechanical device that allows two components or systems to rotate around a common axis while remaining connected to each other. Slewing rings are often used in industrial applications, for example to guide fluid or electrical lines through rotating machines or systems.
There are different types of bearing assemblies that are used depending on requirements and applications. Some examples are:
1. ball bearing slewing rings: These consist of an inner and outer ring rotation separated by ball bearings. They can be subjected to radial and axial loads and offer high rigidity and precision.
2. spherical plain bearing slewing rings: These consist of an inner and outer ring connected by spherical plain bearings. They can absorb a high angular displacement and axial load and offer good shock absorption.
3. fluid feed-through slewing rings: These slewing rings allow liquids or gases to pass through rotating systems. They are often equipped with seals to prevent leakage of liquids or gases.
4. electrical feed-through slewing rings: These rotary joints allow electrical signals to be transmitted through rotating systems. They can also be equipped with seals to prevent moisture or dust from entering.
Bearing assemblies can be used in various applications such as wind turbines, cranes, packaging machines, robots and many other systems where rotary motion is required.
