What Are SKF Slewing Bearings?

SKF slewing bearings (also known as slewing ring bearings or turntable bearings) are engineered to handle axial, radial, and moment loads simultaneously. These high-capacity, large-diameter bearings are vital for applications requiring slow rotation, oscillation, or complex load support under harsh conditions.

SKF slewing bearings integrate multiple functions—bearing support, rotation guidance, and load transmission—into a single, compact component. Featuring high-precision raceways, rolling elements, seals, and often integrated gear teeth, they are specifically designed for demanding applications that require stability, accuracy, and longevity.

Key Design Features and Advantages

  • Superior Load-Bearing Performance: SKF slewing bearings are built to withstand combined axial, radial, and tilting moment loads.
  • Compact and Integrated Design: Reduces space requirements and simplifies machinery structure.
  • Advanced Sealing Systems: Reliable seals protect against dust, water, and contaminants, ensuring long service life.
  • Premium Materials & Heat Treatment: SKF utilizes high-grade alloy steels with optimized hardening for enhanced durability and fatigue resistance.
  • Flexible Configurations: Available with external gear, internal gear, or without gearing, depending on your drive system and installation requirements.
  • Maintenance-Friendly: Optional features like lubrication holes and monitoring ports make them easy to service.
