Slewing ring bearings are more compact and cost-effective

The new ready-to-use and simple-to-mount PRT slewing rings make greater use of iglidur J self-lubricating, low-friction polymer. Counter running surfaces are manufactured from hard-anodised aluminium and the other material used is stainless steel. If required, an FDA-compliant version is available with components manufactured from approved materials.

According to Igus, the slewing rings are suitable for applications where a rugged, corrosion-resistant bearing is needed, where extreme overturning torques might be encountered, and for low to medium surface speeds.
