Why you should specify Kaydon Bearings Slewing Ring bearings Kaydon slewing ring bearings transmit and rotate heavy loads precisely and reliably, in diameters of up to 20’ (6.1m) and configurations to suit almost any application. 4-point contact ball bearings carry radial, axial and moment loads simultaneously and have integral seals to resist contamination. 8-point contact ball bearings provide up to 80% more load capacity than 4-point contact bearings, with many of the same features. Cross-roller bearings offer exceptional stiffness with low rotational torque, in a smaller envelope than you...
