Ladle turrets

Ladle turrets: Slewing bearings and their features

Triple-row roller bearings

  • Roller bearings for ladle turrets are specifically designed to withstand demanding tasks

  • With exceptional resistance to both axial forces and tilting moments, these bearings offer outstanding durability and reliability, ensuring optimal performance even in demanding operating environments

  • Suitable for high temperature use: steel cages in combination with special sealings

Pelletizing disks: Slewing bearings and their features

Triple-row roller bearings

  • Important process parameters for pelletizing include the disc inclination and disc speed. Therefore, the roller bearings are designed to withstand various load situations under continuous rotation

  • The gearing of roller bearings on pelletizing disks is hardened to minimize wear during the several million load cycles

  • These bearings are highly resistant, ensuring exceptional durability and performance even in challenging operating conditions for several years of continuous use

Bottle filling machines: Slewing bearings and their features

Cross roller bearings and single-row four-point bearings

  • The bearings used in bottle filling machines are mounted play-free to ensure optimal performance
  • High speeds greater than 50 rpm are no problem: the bearings are engineered with exceptional precision to provide smooth and accurate operation, ensuring the highest levels of quality and efficiency in the bottle filling process

Amusement rides: Slewing bearings, slew drives and their features

Tapered roller bearings

  • Suitable for horizontal rotating axes (e.g. in giant wheels with high wind loads)

  • Adequate for high load capacity and the ability to withstand both horizontal and vertical forces, in the case of giant wheels or other amusement park rides, this could include wind loads or other external forces that might be exerted on the bearing

  • Optimal load distribution in fast-moving rides which is particularly important for ensuring safe and reliable operation

Turntable ladders for fire trucks: Slewing bearings and their features

Single-row four-point bearings

  • Turntable ladders for fire trucks benefit from ball bearings that are best suited for low to medium bearing loads

  • Ball bearings function as level bearings offer excellent performance in fire ladder applications, ensuring reliable levelment and efficient operation

  • Special, curved toothing for less wear possible

Machine tools: Slewing bearings and their features

Triple-row roller bearings and single row four-point bearings

  • Operation at high speeds exceeding 20 rpm with ease due to the roller bearing specially designed for machine tools
  • To achieve higher precision in machine tools, it is necessary to have roller bearings with high demands for roundness and flatness tolerance
