Bearings have always been the unsung heroes in the story of machinery. The praise and applauds goes to the important spares and the machine itself, but the forgotten bearings miss the limelight. Not that they can complain, but it is their performance that counts the most. Similarly, in the Amusement and Theme Parks, slewing ring bearings are the kings yet none know about them. They form the core of popular rides, like Enterprise or Carousel. It supports the entire load and is responsible for smooth running, or say spinning, of the rides yet very few, only the maintenance guy I think, has knowledge of it.
The slewing ring bearings are designed and manufactured as per the requirements of the machinery or the rides in the Theme Parks. The load capacity, movement speed, and angular displacement range is what decides the design and development of the custom bearings for any machinery. Enterprise and similar rides being humongous machinery they will need equally strong and durable bearing to support its best performance. Precision roller bearings and other special roller bearings are therefore used to make a system of bearings to reduce the load from the primary bearings. While this can be the quickest method, developing a custom bearing is the best method to reduce the complexity of the machinery. Else what you get is machinery within a machinery kind of scenario. And a simple error in any one of the independent system may affect the performance of the machine immensely. For the sake of compaction and further development of machines, we at WD Bearing strive to create the best solution for your machine’s mobility.
