SKF has recently introduced a range of slewing bearings. Unlike traditional slewing bearings, SKF slewing bearings can be easily utilized in vertical bearing arrangements. This additionally provides various design and performance advantages. SKF Slewing bearings are pre-lubricated with high quality grease which reduces the risk of pre-mature failure of machine along with reduced maintenance cost with by increasing lubrication intervals.

Lubrication intervals also help in controlling lubrication wastage and friction. SKF Slewing bearing offers best results in multiple applications of wind turbines, tunnel boring machines, solar mirrors, railway bogies, small, medium and large excavators, cranes, conveyor booms, robots, etc.

SKF manufactures slewing bearings in a number of types and variants such as:

Single row crossed cylindrical roller slewing bearings: These slewing bearings are simple in design, consisting of a one-piece inner and outer ring and cylindrical rollers separated by polyamide spacers and generally protected by integral seals. SKF slewing bearings are intended for bearing arrangements where stiffness is important or zero operational clearance or preload as well as constant resistance to rotation are required.

Double row ball slewing bearings: These bearings are integrated with two one-piece rings and two independent rows of balls that offer greater stiffness and accuracy to associated components required for other types of slewing bearings. The bearings are normally preloaded and fitted with integral lip seals.

Double row cylindrical roller slewing bearings: Double row cylindrical roller slewing bearings are designed to accommodate heavy axial and radial loads as well as high tilting moments. Pre-integrated with lip seals, it is particularly suitable for heavy-duty applications.
