Wind Turbine Slewing Bearing

Slewing bearings are large size bearings which can carry higher axial, radial loads and overturning moments at the same time. Slewing bearings generally have mounting holes, internal or external gears, lubricant holes and sealing equipment.

There are various structures of slewing ring bearings, such as four point contact ball slewing bearing, double row angular contact ball slewing bearings, crossed cylindrical roller slewing bearings, crossed tapered roller bearings and three row cylindrical roller slewing bearings, with gears or no gears.

Four point contact ball slewing bearings possess high static loading capacity; crossed cylindrical roller slewing bearings can carry high dynamic loads; crossed tapered roller slewing bearings have high stiffness and rotation accuracy by preloading.

Slewing ring bearings are widely used in cranes, excavation machines, construction machinery, port cargo handling machinery, large turnplates of high precision radars and missile launchers, etc.

Wind Turbine Slewing Bearing: A Comprehensive Guide

A Wind Turbine Slewing Bearing is a crucial component used in wind turbines to support the rotation of the nacelle—the housing at the top of the turbine that contains the gearbox and generator. These bearings facilitate the smooth and precise movement of the nacelle, allowing it to align with the wind direction to maximize energy capture. Slewing bearings in wind turbines are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions and high loads, ensuring reliable operation and long service life.
