Slewing Ring Bearings – Slewing ring bearings, or turntable bearings, are ball or roller style bearings composed of two concentric rings either of which may include a gear. This type of bearing enhances load support and power transmission in all directions, and is typically employed to support heavy loads for slow applications and large equipment such as earth excavators and construction cranes.
