Slewing Ring Gear

1. Product Introduction: The slewing bearing ring gear is the core transmission component of the slewing bearing, integrating load-bearing, transmission, and connection functions. The ring gear meshes with the drive pinion, transmitting power to the slewing platform, enabling precise and smooth 360-degree rotation of the upper portion of the equipment.
2. Product Structure: Slewing bearing ring gears are primarily classified into two categories based on their integration method and tooth position: internal and external ring gears.
3. Size Range:
Inner Bore Diameter: From a small 50 mm to large 5000 mm and above.
Cross-Section Height: Commonly ranges from 30 mm to 200 mm.
Module: From M4 to M50+ and above.

4. Material: Rings are typically made of high-carbon chromium bearing steel GCr15 (SUJ2) or high-strength alloy steel 50Mn/42CrMo. Stainless steel (such as SUS440C) can also be used.
5. Applications: Hydraulic excavators, truck cranes, tower cranes, crawler cranes, rotary drilling rigs, stacker-reclaimers, port cranes, container lifting equipment, large welding positioners, and rotary tables.

Premium Slewing Ring Gear - High-Precision Rotational Solutions

Slewing Ring Gear

When your heavy equipment requires reliable rotational transmission, you need a Slewing Ring Gear that can handle the job. At Luoyang Heng Guan Bearing Technology Co., Ltd., we manufacture precision-engineered ring gears that integrate seamlessly with Slewing Bearings to deliver smooth 360-degree rotation for cranes, excavators, and industrial turntables. Our ring gears combine load-bearing capacity with accurate power transmission, ensuring your machinery operates efficiently under demanding conditions. Each product is manufactured using advanced CNC machining and heat treatment processes to meet international quality standards.

Product Details

Our gear serves as the core transmission component in rotating machinery. It meshes directly with the drive pinion to transmit torque and enable precise, controlled rotation. Available in both internal and external tooth configurations, it seamlessly integrates with your equipment design.

Structure and Design:

The gear is manufactured as an integral part of the bearing ring, creating a single, robust assembly. Internal gears have teeth cut on the inner diameter, while external gears have teeth on the outer diameter. Both are precision-machined to ensure smooth meshing, efficient power transfer, and minimal backlash.

Size Range:

l Inner Bore Diameter: 50 mm to 5,000 mm+

l Cross-Section Height: 30 mm to 200 mm

l Module Range: M4 to M50+

Material Selection:

We utilize high-carbon chromium bearing steel GCr15 (SUJ2) for standard-duty applications. For heavier loads and higher strength requirements, we offer alloy steels 50Mn or 42CrMo. Stainless steel SUS440C is available for use in highly corrosive or marine environments.

Manufacturing Process:

1. Forging: The process begins with precision forging to create a superior, dense grain structure in the material.

2. Gear Cutting: Teeth are accurately machined using CNC gear hobbing and shaping machines to meet precise geometric specifications.

3. Heat Treatment: Critical tooth surfaces undergo computer-controlled induction hardening, achieving a surface hardness of 50-55 HRC for exceptional wear resistance, while retaining a tough core hardness of 30-35 HRC to absorb impact loads.

4. Finishing: Precision grinding ensures final dimensional accuracy and a smooth tooth profile.

Features and Benefits

Precision Gear Manufacturing: Teeth are cut on CNC gear hobbers and shaped to achieve precise tooth form, spacing, and lead. This results in smooth, quiet meshing, high transmission efficiency, and reduced wear for longer component life.

Dual-Hardness Heat Treatment: The gear teeth are induction hardened to create a wear-resistant surface (50-55 HRC), while the core remains tough and ductile (30-35 HRC) to absorb shock loads and prevent brittle fracture.

Integrated Load Path: As an integral part of the slewing bearing ring, the gear provides a direct, rigid load path. Forces are distributed evenly through the bearing structure, improving system stability and enabling higher load capacity within a compact design.

Corrosion Resistance: Standard protective finishes and optional heavy-duty coatings are available to effectively resist rust and pitting caused by saltwater, humidity, or chemicals, ensuring reliability in demanding applications.

Applications

· Hydraulic excavators and backhoes

· Truck-mounted and crawler cranes

· Tower cranes and port lifting equipment

· Rotary drilling rigs and piling machines

· Stacker-reclaimers for bulk material handling

· Container handling equipment
