xiros® slewing ring ball bearings

The dirt-resistant slewing rings from igus® are suitable for carrying axial loads despite their low net weight. In particular in the food and chemical industry, the installed components are persistently contaminated on a daily basis.
The freedom from lubrication and the open architecture of the slewing ring ball bearings make it easy to flush the ball bearings without loss of quality.

Whether slewing ring ball bearings with stainless steel balls or balls made of glass: igus offers you cost-effective and FDA-compliant alternatives to metal solutions - from the smallest to diameters in XXL format.

 

Largest slewing ring ball bearing by igus® for loads of up to 500kg

Special customer requests and wishes are often the driving force for innovations at igus®. One example of this is the largest slewing ring ball bearing in the world by igus®. It has 400 millimetre inner diameter, 600 millimetre outer diameter and is 40 millimetre high, and was constructed on the basis of a customer request in the chemical material flow industry. xiros® stands for dry operating plastic ball bearings, which are characterised by their freedom from maintenance and low friction. For example, a load of 250 kilograms can be rotated with the XXL slewing ring bearing with a low drive torque of 15 newton metres. By dispensing with lubricants and due to the open design of the slewing ring ball bearing mounted on ball bearings, the customer can flush the bearings daily.
