Wire Race BearingsHigh Performance in Compact Spaces


Wire race slewing rings feature hardened steel wire raceways mounted into lightweight aluminum or stainless steel housings. This design offers up to 60% weight savings compared to conventional roller and ball bearings and provides ±0.01° positioning accuracy. Available in Ø300–Ø5000 mm diameters with internal, external, or gearless options, they are widely used in surgical robot joints, packaging machines, autonomous mobile platforms, and defense optical turrets.

  • Minimal inertia: Lightweight housing reduces servo motor torque requirements.
  • High rigidity: Wire raceways are heat-treated to over 60 HRC, extending fatigue life.
  • Stainless option: Resistant to cleaning chemicals and humid environments.

About our Products

A slewing ring is a machine element capable of carrying heavy loads while enabling 360° rotational movement. It is used in equipment such as cranes, excavators, and wind turbines, capable of withstanding both radial and axial loads.

When selecting a bearing, consider load capacity, operating speed, environmental conditions, and ease of installation. Choosing the correct bearing type for the application’s specific requirements is critical.

Regular maintenance, proper lubrication, correct installation, and operating within designed conditions extend service life. Avoid overloading and always follow manufacturer guidelines.
