Lightweight Slewing Rings

Minimize space, weight, and corrosion resistance without compromising with our optimized lightweight slewing ring bearings.

 



Due to the significant technological advancements in robotics, automation, space and defense, there is a high demand for space-saving and weight-saving bearing solutions. The UNASIS thin section bearing ranges help to service this market; however, in order to further simplify the process, we have a range of lightweight, pre-greased, ready to assemble bearing units. Both easy to mount and easy to maintain the IKT and IPT bearings can be mounted via inner or outer ring.

ADVANTAGES

Extremely Lightweight


Designed with the slimmest profile while maximizing load capacity, stiffness and running accuracy.

Highly Customisable


The UNASIS thin section insert bearing has options for:

  • Silicon Nitride Ceramic Balls
  • Different cage material options e.g. PEEK and Stainless Steel
  • Infinite dimensional configurations for housing geometry

Sealing Options


Sealing can be incorporated with many different materials (NBR, Viton, Silicon and Neoprene, among others) in styles such as:

  • Static Seals
  • Low Friction Seals
  • High Pressure Gap Seals

Material Options


Housing can be provided in:

  • Steel
  • Stainless steel
  • Aluminium

Stainless Steel Insert Bearing


With a 420C Stainless Steel insert bearing there is:

  • High Corrosion Resistance
  • Reduced Maintenance

High Ball or Roller Compliment


The revolutionary split thin section insert bearing allows for the highest ball and roll count which leads to:

  • Maximum Rigidity
  • Increased Dynamic and Static Load Rating
  • Extreme Durability
  • Minimized Radial Runout

CUSTOM LIGHTWEIGHT SLEWING RINGS

A custom designed slewing ring which achieves high static load ratings whilst minimising weight. The bearing has been designed to withstand large forces created during shock loading conditions.

Custom bearing geometries and the utilisation of lightweight materials allow for significant weight savings within an application.

The ability to use a ride range of internal bearing types and sizes allows capacity to be maximised in a given envelope.

A wide range of transmission types can be incorporated into the bearing including and not limited to:

Spur gears, helical gears, belt profiles and chain drive.

The use of angular contact bearings and shims allows excellent clearance control for the bearing. This allows the frictional torque and free play in the bearing to be easily tailored to customer’s needs.
