Selecting the appropriate cojinete de giro involves several factors to ensure it meets the application’s requirements for load capacity, operational conditions, and longevity. Below is a systematic guide for selecting slewing bearings.

Slewing bearing selection

1. Understand the Application Requirements

UNA. Load Conditions

Axial Load: Force acting perpendicular to the bearing’s axis.

Radial Load: Force acting along the bearing’s axis.

Moment Load: Torque or tilting forces acting on the bearing.

Consider whether the load is constant, variable, or shock-inducing.

segundo. Operational Parameters

Rotational Speed: Maximum and average speed the bearing must handle.

Duty Cycle: Frequency and duration of operation (p.ej., continuous, intermittent).

Precisión: Required accuracy in positioning or rotation.

do. Condiciones ambientales

Temperature: Minimum and maximum operating temperatures.

Contaminants: Polvo, humedad, or corrosive environments that may affect the bearing.

Lubricación: Compatibility with the lubrication system (grease, aplicar vaselina).

re. Mounting and Space Constraints

Dimensiones: Inner and outer diameter, altura, and weight limits.

Montaje: Bolt hole patterns and flange compatibility.

2. Determine the Bearing Type

Slewing bearings come in various types, each suited to specific applications:

Single-row Ball Bearings:

Suitable for light to moderate axial, radial, y cargas de momento.
