iglidur® PRT slewing ring applications

iglidur® PRT is a slewing ring bearing with the proven advantages of the igus® polymer bearings. The sliding elements made of iglidur® J operate absolutely free of maintenance and lubrication.

All housing parts are made of aluminium, and hard anodised giving the iglidur® J sliding elements the perfect running surface. All fastening screws are made of stainless steel.

There are an abundance of applications that these slewing rings can be used in and a few of them are shown below.

Other Applications

Assembly press for air conditioning unit

Using drylin® T linear guide and iglidur® PRT slewing ring bearings, the movement under the press and the pivoting of the parts to be assembled is mastered.

Track vehicle

A problem that vexed the designers was the total weight and the occurring leverages. Here the weight should be saved.
