RKS.23.0541 Slewing Bearings

RKS.23.0541 is a light series single row four point contact ball slewing bearing without gear, manufactured to the SKF RKS.23 standard. With a 541 mm mean raceway diameter, 434 mm bore, 648 mm outside diameter and 56 mm height, it weighs 31 kg and carries combined axial, radial and tilting moment loads — widely used in robot palletizers and construction machinery.

• Robot-palletizer source term — tradebearings directly hangs "RKS.23.0541 L-shape range no gear slewing bearing (648*434*56mm) for robot palletizer", making 0541 the source rank for the palletizer long-tail word; 0741 extends the same term.
• Global distributor coverage — INA VLU200544 is listed with RS Components (US), rubix (UK), Motion and mrosupply (US); Lily Bearing also stocks the variant — the part is real and moving on four channels.
• 3D CAD download — TraceParts carries a free VLU200544 3D model (SOLIDWORKS / Inventor) with the 10-hole bolt pattern confirmed; we offer CAD on request to intercept the engineering search.
• Drop-in replacement — INA VLU200544 (Schaeffler official), Kaydon RK6-22P1Z, Rollix 23-0541-01, Rothe Erde 230.20.0500 / SD.650.20.00 and TGB 90-200541.
• Application breadth — palletizer (tradebearings) + construction machinery (LYJW Non-Geared Flange for Construction Machinery) + crane accessories (Coresun PSL Replacement) — three distinct scene keywords covered by a single part number.
• Lightest mid-range RKS.23 at 31 kg — air-freight friendly, opens 0541 to overseas projects; stock ships in 3-7 days, MOQ 1 pc, factory-direct pricing.
• Grease nipple note — rhia.de (HFH Germany) lists 4 x DIN 71412-A S8 x 1 tapered grease nipples; catalogue spec is 4 x AM8 x 1 on the inner ring — sample-book wins the trust argument.

Product Features & Design Advantages

This gearless four-point contact ball slewing bearing is engineered for combined axial, radial, and tilting moment loads in a compact, lightweight package.

Here's what makes it stand out:

· Ungeared / no-gear design — Both rings use 18 mm through holes with no M12 threads. This makes it direct-drive ready and easy to integrate.

· Four-point contact ball — A single-row 20 mm ball design handles multi-directional loads efficiently without adding bulk.

· Induction-hardened raceways — HRC 55–62 surface hardness for excellent fatigue resistance, while the core stays ductile to absorb shock.

· NBR one-piece seal — Rated from –40 to +110 °C, it keeps grease in and contaminants out in tough environments.

· Only 31 kg — Air-freight friendly and easy to handle on-site. Perfect for projects with tight logistics requirements.

· 4 × AM8×1 grease nipples — Pre-positioned on the inner ring for straightforward maintenance scheduling.

Application Areas

The RKS.23.0541 Slewing Bearings performs reliably across multiple industries:

Robot Palletizers & Logistics Automation (Primary)

This is the part's most prominent application. It serves as the rotary joint in palletizing robot arms, where slow oscillating motion, precise positioning, and low maintenance are all critical.

Construction Excavator

As a non-geared flange slewing bearing, it connects rotating upper structures to undercarriages on compact construction equipment. It handles shock and vibration without compromising stability.

Crane Accessories

Used as a replacement slewing ring in crane accessories where a lightweight, ungeared turntable bearing is needed for secondary rotation points.

Filling & Packaging Machines

Light-series performance suits high-frequency, low-load rotary tables in filling lines and packaging automation.

Solar Trackers & General Industrial Turntables

Its slow-speed precision and sealed design make it suitable for solar tracker slew bearings and general-purpose automation turntables.
