Earthmoving and deep foundation machines

•  Use in mobile and crawler excavators, duty-cycle crawler cranes and drilling rigs
•  Contain mainly ball bearing slewing rings for slewing equipment.

Mobile cranes, errection cranes and hoists

•  Use in mobile, fast-errecting, mobile and crawler cranes
•  Depending on the size and design, four-point bearings, roller bearing slewing drives or special bearings are used for the turning motion

Mining-Equipment

•  Use in mining excavators
•  Predominantly use roller bearing slewing rings owing to high loads

Material handling technology

•  Use in conveyor belts, spreaders, stacker / reclaimers or bucket wheel excavators
•  Ball and roller bearing slewing rings enable slewing motion of the uppercarriage and conveyor arms

Tunnel boring machines (TBM)

•  Use in tunnel boring machines
•  Use of roller bearing slewing rings with special sealing systems owing to higher dust exposure

 

Maritime applications
