What is Slewing Bearings?
Slewing bearing is a rotational bearing component which is usually used in machines that require heavy and bulk handling. These bearings help in developing to and fro movements as well as rotational movements. They are used for simple applications such as to facilitate the movement of winches to complex applications such as in drilling and excavator machines and offshore machines. They work based on the axial and radical forces which results in tilting moments. Slewing bearing has many advantageous over traditional bearings such as the ability to support both horizontal and vertical arrangements.
The market for slewing bearings is huge in APAC, particularly in countries such as Japan, South Korea and China where it is being used extensively. The market for slewing bearings in China has been increasing rapidly due to the numerous solar investments made by the government as well as the growing medical sector.
