Slewing Bearings — Ball & Roller Rings, Geared or Gearless
NKEN manufactures slewing bearings (slewing rings) in four designs — single-row four-point contact ball, double-row ball, crossed roller and three-row roller — with external gear, internal gear or no gear, for excavators, truck and tower cranes, wind turbines, port machinery, turntables and solar trackers. One ring replaces a whole bearing arrangement: it carries axial, radial and tilting-moment loads together and bolts directly to the structure.
Slewing bearings are engineered per application, so instead of a size table we list the design programme below. Send the drawing, or the key data — outside diameter, bolt pattern, gear module/teeth if geared, and the loads — and our engineers will specify the ring and quote it.
- Four designs: four-point ball, double-row ball, crossed roller, three-row roller
- External gear, internal gear or ungeared; seals and grease nipples fitted
- Raceway induction hardening; gear teeth hardened on request
- Made to drawing — bolt pattern, clearance and preload per application
- Single-piece supply for OEMs and replacement rings for excavator/crane fleets

Slewing Bearings — models, dimensions & cross-reference
| Design | Rolling elements | Gear options | Typical applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-row four-point contact | Balls, one row | External / internal / none | Small excavators, turntables, welding positioners |
| Double-row ball | Balls, two rows | External / internal / none | Truck cranes, aerial platforms, stackers |
| Crossed roller | Cylindrical rollers, crossed | External / internal / none | Precision turntables, robots, machine tools |
| Three-row roller | Rollers, three rows | External / internal | Tower cranes, port cranes, large excavators, wind yaw/pitch |
Slewing bearings are quoted per drawing. Minimum data for a quotation: ring OD, bolt-circle and hole count, gear type/module if any, load case (axial, radial, tilting moment) and quantity.
