Application of Slewing Ring Bearings in Metallurgical and Mining Equipment

In the critical rotating core of large equipment such as ladle cranes, stackers and reclaimers, and tunnel boring machines, slewing bearings play a vital role in the efficient operation of metallurgical and mining equipment. They are able to withstand axial, radial and moment loads simultaneously, and are capable of heavy loads, precise positioning and continuous rotation.

Applications in Metallurgical Equipment

Slewing bearings ensure operational stability, reduce maintenance downtime, and improve the safety of metallurgical equipment. Common applications include:

• Steel ladle turrets: These machines rely on slewing ring bearings for smooth and precise rotation during

  the pouring process.

• Continuous casting machines: Bearings support the oscillating movement necessary for consistentmetal flow and cooling.

• Rotary furnaces and converters: High-temperature environments require durable bearings that maintain

  performance under extreme heat and pressure

Applications in Mining Machinery

Mining operations often occur in harsh and demanding conditions. Slewing ring bearings are used in key mining equipment due to their strength, durability, and load-bearing capabilities:

• Bucket wheel excavators: These machines depend on large-diameter slewing bearings for 360-degree rotation

  of the superstructure.

• Stacker-reclaimers: These massive systems use slewing bearings to rotate and position the boom for effective

  material handling.

• Drilling rigs and crushers: Bearings help achieve precise positioning and maintain structural integrity under

  shock and vibration.
