KAYDON's Reali-Slim® bearings are among the thinnest in the industry. They offer excellent running accuracy and reduced friction.

These bearings are ideal for applications where space is at a premium and weight reduction is beneficial.

Slewing Ring Bearings

Four Point Contact Ball Slewing Ring Bearing

Single row ball bearings that are divided into two types: flange and without flange. These bearings are available with internal gear, external gear, or without gear, providing flexibility for various applications. They are designed to handle axial, radial, and moment loads simultaneously.

Reali-Slim TT Turntable Bearings

The TT series range in bore diameters from 1.5" to 6". These bearings use a four-point contact ball bearing design. This allows them to handle radial, axial, and moment loads effectively. They are ideal for applications requiring compact design and high load capacity.

Eight Point Contact Ball Slewing Ring Bearing

Double row ball bearings available with internal gear, external gear, or without gear. These bearings can handle heavy loads and ensure precise positioning. They are ideal for demanding applications across various industries.

Cross Roller Slewing Ring Bearing

Single row roller bearings that include internal gear, external gear, or without gear options. These bearings offer high stiffness and can handle both radial and axial loads, as well as moment loads. They provide reliable performance in a compact design.

Three-Row Cross Roller Slewing Ring Bearing

These bearings feature three rows of roller bearings and are available with internal gear, external gear, or without gear. They are built for applications needing high load capacity and precision. This makes them perfect for heavy-duty machinery and equipment.

Mating Pinions

Mating pinions are available to complement the slewing ring bearings. This ensures a complete and efficient solution for your mechanical systems.
