A slewing bearing typically supports heavy but slow-turning loads. The application of slewing bearings often on a horizontal platform such as a conventional crane, a swing yarder, or the wind-facing platform of a horizontal-axis (yaw) windmill. Other orientations (e.g., a horizontal axis of rotation) are used in materials handling grapples, forklift attachments, welding turnover jigs, etc.

Here, we mainly discussed the application of slewing bearings in the following areas.

1. Trailer: This slewing bearing is used on various occasions, the most important of which is used in the transport industry, agricultural trailers, irrigation systems, and airport luggage racks. In the application of vehicles, the axial load, radial load, and torque of bearings are transferred. In other applications, they mainly transmit axial loads. HGT bearing specializes in manufacturing slewing bearings for trailers.

2. Wind power: Wind turbine bearings usually include yaw bearings, propeller bearings, drive system bearings (spindle and gearbox bearings). HGT provides yaw bearing and variable propeller bearing for customers. Yaw bearing is installed in the connection part between the tower and cockpit, and pitch bearing is installed in the connection part between the root of each blade and hub. Each wind turbine has one set of yaw bearings and three sets of pitch bearing.

3. Solar energy: Rotating solar panels are an excellent way to increase power. Because HGT bearing bearings have a very compact design, they supply slewing bearing for a solar farm in Europe.

4. Medical Devices: HGT slewing bearing has been widely used in gamma knives, CT machines, nuclear magnetic resonance machines, and other significant medical devices.

5. Robots: Industrial robots and other equipment. HGT-bearing turntable bearings are mounted on the joints of robots, and this structure can achieve incredible high-compact rotational motion.
