Detailed introduction to the application range of slewing bearings

08-01-2024

The slewing bearing is a mechanical component that mainly supports the rotation of the machine, but in what specific applications can it be applied? I believe many friends are not very clear about it. Let me analyze it for you. Slewing bearings are very common in life, such as excavators, cranes, etc. Specifically, it can be divided into hoisting machinery, engineering machinery, transportation machinery, material processing machinery, metallurgical machinery, food processing machinery, and medical machinery.

  Detailed introduction to the application of slewing bearings

1. Hoisting machinery

Hoisting machinery includes truck cranes, tower cranes, trailers, etc. Since these machinery are used in harsh environments, the rotating parts are often subject to great impact, so these parts use customized slew bearings. For example, Hengguan bearing manufacturers are provided with the dimensions and operating environment required for the machine. The manufacturer will arrange engineers to design suitable bearings based on the actual situation, and then put them into use. This will not only meet the needs of the lifting machinery, but also extend the service life. Huge improvements.

2. Construction machinery

Construction machinery is simply divided into excavators, loaders, etc. The slew plate bearing can withstand axial force, radial force and overturning force at the same time, and the structure is very compact. It needs to rotate continuously during the operation of the excavator. The slew plate bearing is the core component of rotation. The application of engineering machinery is the basic application of slew bearings and is also a relatively widespread application.

3. Processing machinery

Processing machinery such as material processing, food processing, metallurgy, etc. With the continuous development of science and technology, people are no longer satisfied with only using slew bearings in engineering machinery, but have turned their attention to equipment platform processing machinery. Because slewing bearings are more compact than original bearings, can withstand greater external forces, and have better performance and structure, they are also widely used in processing machinery.

4. Medical machinery

In many large-scale medical equipment, in order to take care of the patient's physical condition, it is necessary to rotate the equipment in time to adapt to the patient's body. At this time, the equipment is required to be not only highly accurate, but also low-noise. These rotations require slewing bearings. help. The series of medical device spindle slewing bearings currently developed with high accuracy, low noise, long life and high reliability have been widely used in large medical devices such as gamma knives, CT machines, and nuclear magnetic resonance machines.

5. Others

In addition to being used in industry and medicine, slewing bearings are also used in the power generation field and in daily life. The yaw bearings of wind turbines are installed at the connection between the tower and the cockpit, and the pitch bearings are installed at the root of each blade. The connection part with the wheel hub. Each wind turbine uses one set of yaw bearings and three sets of pitch bearings. Through the application of slewing bearings in wind power generation equipment, the process of power generation can be effectively changed according to different wind forces. During the entire process, the parts where the roots of the blades are connected to are the specific embodiment of the slewing bearings. The main applications of turntable bearings in life are concentrated in amusement parks, such as Ferris wheels, roller coasters, large pendulum clocks, and merry-go-rounds. The effective application of turntable bearings has ensured the safety of life.

The above is the specific introduction of the application range of slew plate bearings by the editor of Hengguan Bearing. After reading it, it is not difficult to find that slew plate bearings have penetrated into every part of life, such as lifting machinery, engineering machinery, transportation machinery, material processing machinery, and metallurgy. In terms of machinery, food processing machinery, medical machinery, playground facilities, etc., the compact, safe and reliable structure of turntable bearings brings convenience and efficiency to users, and brings us safety guarantee.
