Internal Gear Slewing Bearing

Internal gear slewing bearing offer a unique variation within the world of slewing bearings. Unlike traditional designs where the gear teeth are located on the outer diameter, internal gear bearings have the teeth machined onto the inner ring. This design provides several advantages for specific applications. The most notable benefit of an internal gear slewing bearing is its compact profile. By integrating the gear teeth within the inner ring, the overall diameter of the bearing is reduced. This space-saving feature is valuable in applications where size constraints are a concern, such as robotic arms or compact construction equipment. Design and constrcution: He defined the characteristic of this bearing type as the gear teeth machined directly onto the inner ring. This ring typically features a high-strength steel construction to handle the rotational forces transmitted through the gear teeth. The specific tooth profile (spur gear, helical gear, etc.) will depend on the application requirements.

Benefits: Internal Gear Slewing Bearing

Enhanced Protection:  The internal gear design protects the gear teeth from dust, dirt, and moisture. This is because the gear teeth are enclosed within the bearing housing, reducing exposure to contaminants that can cause wear and tear. Improved Lubrication:  Internal gear bearings allow for a more efficient lubrication system. Since the gear teeth are internal, lubricant can be easily applied and retained within the bearing housing, ensuring proper lubrication and reducing friction. Compact Design:  By placing the gear teeth inside the bearing, the overall diameter of the slewing bearing can be reduced. This compact design can be beneficial in applications where space is a constraint. Potentially Lower Noise:  In some cases, internal gear designs can lead to quieter operation than external gear. This is because the enclosed gear teeth may generate slightly less noise. Longer Gear Life: Due to the improved protection from contamination and potentially better lubrication, internal gear teeth may experience less wear and tear, leading to a longer lifespan for the gear mechanism.
