Plastic slewing ring ball bearing in mechanical engineering – technology, advantages, applications

In the construction of modern machines and systems, rotating assemblies are very common. However, these rotating components face specific challenges: they have to bear high loads, be integrated into an increasingly tight installation space and at the same time fulfil high hygiene requirements or corrosion resistance. There is also growing pressure on companies to develop low-maintenance solutions that offer a long service life and bring cost down at the same time.

In this brochure, we show how designers can use lubrication-free PRT slewing ring ball bearings in rotating applications not only to solve the most common problems of conventional bearing points, but also to gain new design freedom for more efficient, more reliable and more cost-effective machines.
