Gear Tooth Damage in Slewing Bearings: Causes, Detection, and Prevention
What Is a Slewing Bearing? A slewing bearing is a large rotating component that supports heavy loads while enabling rotation between two structures. It handles axial loads, radial loads, and tilting moments simultaneously. These bearings are essential in cranes, excavators, wind turbines, and other heavy machinery. Many slewing bearings include integral gear teeth—either internal or […]
