A slewing ring is a rotational bearing which can be used to support oscillating movements within applications.
The slewing ring consists of two concentric rings, one of which is attached to a rotating object and the other to a stationary surface. The bearing can the move rotationally whilst staying fixed to the mounting surface.
It depends on the slewing ring to be honest. There are variations with metal components, plastic, ball bearings and each variant needs to be considered differently. For igus® slewing rings it is easy. If it is the wear parts of the slewing ring that needs changing, simply remove the screws to take the top part of the bearing off, remove the worn section of the liner and replace with a new section of liner. Quick and easy.
Yes, igus® have a couple of ways in which this can be achieved to any number of degrees. Our Angle limiter kit comprises of the limiter, a limiter stop and pin which all work externally and can be adjusted by yourself. This can be readjusted should the degree of rotation change for your application.
Manufacturing with injection moulding or 3D printing guarantees cost efficiency and creates the geometrical freedom to optimise use of installation space. Thanks to the flexible modular system, the slewing ring ball bearings can be extended as required.
The iglidur® bearing technology impresses with ultra-light materials, such as plastic and aluminium. This enables you to achieve greater efficiency in your application.
