Series 5000 Cross roller slewing ring

This series is a distinguished line of single-row crossed roller slewing bearings featuring external gearing, designed for applications where the drive pinion must engage with the bearing's outer circumference. This external-gear configuration offers distinct advantages in terms of gear accessibility, drive system flexibility, and installation convenience, making this series a preferred choice across a diverse range of heavy machinery and precision equipment.


Application Spectrum:

Mobile cranes and telescopic boom handlers

Excavators and material handlers

Concrete pump trucks and placing booms

Aerial work platforms and man lifts

Port and shipyard gantry cranes

Mining equipment including stackers and reclaimers

Heavy-duty rotary tables for large component machining

This series employs the single-row crossed roller kinematic principle, with cylindrical rollers arranged alternately perpendicular to one another within a single raceway. This proven geometry enables the bearing to simultaneously support radial loads, bidirectional axial forces, and tilting moments. The line-contact between rollers and raceways delivers exceptional rigidity and load-carrying capacity relative to the bearing's overall dimensions, outperforming ball-based designs under combined loading conditions.

The defining characteristic of the  series is its external gear, which is integrally forged and machined on the outer ring's circumference. This external placement simplifies gear inspection, adjustment, and maintenance, as the gear teeth are fully accessible without disassembling surrounding structures. The external gear configuration also allows for larger pinion diameters and more flexible drive layouts, accommodating both right-angle and parallel shaft motor arrangements.
