Robust bearings and drives for radar systems

Radar

Precise rolling bearings with high rigidity and low rotational resistance, can be manufactured up to a diameter of 1800 mm. Ideal for land and sea-based radar systems, produced with classic gearing or integrated torque motor. We offer the right solution for your demanding applications.



Slewing ring type LVG

Proven, even under difficult conditions

Our double-row angular contact roller bearings ensure high rigidity combined with low rotational resistance.

Customised and innovative sealing concepts ensure a long service life under harsh operating conditions, such as exposure to sand or seawater.

When precision and reliability aren’t just an option—they’re a must.

In this whitepaper, you’ll get in-depth insights into slewing rings and roller bearing solutions specifically designed for reliable use in military and safety-related systems.

Possibilities instead of requirements

Franke bearings offer many options for the surrounding construction.Franke bearings fit into a wide variety of designs.The surrounding construction can be freely chosen, as the Franke bearing takes up the main load.Franke bearings can be used in compact designs.With Franke bearings, the shape of the construction can be chosen almost freely.When using Franke bearings, the material of the surrounding construction can also be freely chosen.

We have the right solution for almost every requirement.

 

Be it corrosion resistance, vibration and shock resistance or even a slewing ring in lightweight design - the customisation options are almost endless.



Special requirements? Roller bearings from Franke

Rolling bearings from Franke in radar systems ensure precise and trouble-free movements,
in 24/7 operation under high loads.

We use resistant materials to increase the durability and service life of our slewing rings.
In addition, special lubricants and sealing concepts ideally enable virtually maintenance-free bearings.


Bearing: slewing ring with torque direct drive

Project-specific
direct drives

Our bespoke direct drives fulfil the highest requirements in terms of torque load capacity, vibration resistance and resistance to environmental influences. They guarantee reliable performance even in continuous operation under extreme conditions.
