Manufacturing Process

Advanced Manufacturing & Quality Control

Our manufacturing process combines traditional craftsmanship with modern CNC technology to ensure every bearing meets global standards.

We use certified 42CrMo or 50Mn forged steel. Every batch undergoes ultrasonic testing to ensure no internal defects.

High-speed CNC turning creates the initial profile, ensuring perfect concentricity for the subsequent hardening phase.

We apply precise heat treatment to the raceways to reach 55-62 HRC, maximizing wear resistance and load life.

For geared versions, teeth are cut to exact specifications (Module/DP) and ground to reduce noise and improve engagement.

The raceways are fine-ground to a mirror finish to ensure the lowest possible starting torque and maximum smoothness.

Bearings are assembled in a clean environment, followed by rigorous testing for clearance, torque, and dimensional accuracy.

Applications

Applications Across Industries

Aokai crossed rroller bearings are integral components in precision machinery requiring high rigidity, compactness, and reliable performance. Below are the primary industries and typical applications.

Construction & Earthmoving Equipment

Heavy-duty construction machines require robust slewing solutions to achieve stable and efficient 360° rotation. Our slewing ring bearings are widely used in excavators, cranes, concrete pumps, drilling rigs, and other earthmoving equipment, providing high load capacity, impact resistance, and long service life under demanding working conditions..

Renewable Energy Systems

Renewable energy equipment depends on precise and reliable positioning mechanisms to maximize operational efficiency. Slewing bearings are commonly installed in wind turbine yaw and pitch systems as well as solar tracker azimuth drives, enabling smooth rotation, accurate positioning, and long-term performance in outdoor environments.

Material Handling Equipment

Port and mining operations require bearings capable of handling extreme loads and continuous operation. Our slewing ring bearings support critical material handling equipment, including port cranes, stacker reclaimers, mining excavators, and ship loaders, ensuring reliable rotation performance in heavy-duty applications.

Industrial Robots & Machine Tools

Precision motion is essential for modern manufacturing systems. Slewing bearings are applied in welding positioners, indexing tables, horizontal boring mills, and CNC rotary tables, delivering high rotational accuracy, low friction operation, and excellent repeatability for automated production.

Medical Equipment

Medical imaging systems demand extremely smooth and quiet rotation to ensure accurate diagnosis and patient safety. Our precision slewing bearings are used in CT scanners, MRI gantries, and linear accelerators, providing low-noise operation, high positioning accuracy, and dependable performance.

Defense & Aerospace Systems

Defense and aerospace applications require advanced bearing solutions with exceptional reliability and precision. Slewing ring bearings are utilized in radar turntables, missile launch systems, weapon mounts, and satellite communication positioning equipment, supporting accurate movement in mission-critical environments.

FAQ

Turntable Bearings FAQs

What materials are your turntable bearings made of?

We primarily use 42CrMo (alloy steel) and 50Mn (carbon steel) forgings, which provide the best balance of strength, hardness, and wear resistance.

Can you produce bearings for high-precision medical or military applications?

Yes. We can manufacture high-precision series with minimal clearance or pre-load to meet the strict accuracy requirements of these industries.

What is the typical lead time for a custom order?

Standard models are often in stock. Custom-engineered bearings typically have a lead time of 4 to 8 weeks, depending on material availability and complexity.

How do I determine if I need an internal, external, or non-geared bearing?

This depends on your drive design. External gears are easier to maintain, internal gears are more compact and protected, and non-geared units are used when the drive is external to the bearing.

How often should a turntable bearing be lubricated?

For standard applications, we recommend regreasing every 100 to 200 hours of operation. Harsh environments may require more frequent intervals.

Do you provide 3D CAD models for design integration?

Absolutely. We can provide STEP or IGES files to help your engineering team integrate our bearings seamlessly into your machine designs.
