FDON Double Row Ball & Three Row Roller Slewing Bearings

FDON double row ball slewing bearings and three row roller slewing ring bearings are engineered for heavy-duty applications in construction and industrial machinery. The double row ball bearings feature precision-machined steel rings and high-strength balls, offering superior axial and radial load capacity for rotating tables, turntables, and platforms. Three row roller slewing bearings integrate three rows of rollers, efficiently supporting combined radial, axial, and tilting moment loads in demanding environments. Both bearing types are designed for excavators, cranes, concrete pumps, aerial work platforms, and other engineering machinery, ensuring smooth rotation, high durability, and low maintenance.

Specification

FDON’s double row ball and three row roller slewing bearings provide reliable performance for heavy construction and industrial machinery. Engineers use these bearings in excavators, cranes, concrete pumps, and aerial work platforms. They ensure smooth rotation while supporting high loads.

The double row ball slewing bearings use two rows of high-strength balls on precision-machined raceways. This design handles both axial and radial loads efficiently. It also delivers stable rotation for turntables, platforms, and rotating tables. The three row roller bearings feature three rows of rollers. They distribute radial, axial, and tilting moment loads evenly. As a result, these bearings excel in the most demanding applications.

FDON constructs each bearing from hardened, high-quality steel. Engineers apply advanced heat treatment to improve wear resistance. The bearings also include seals that prevent dust, dirt, and moisture from entering. These features reduce maintenance needs and extend service life. Moreover, FDON provides multiple sizes and specifications. This flexibility fits a wide range of machinery, from small excavators to large cranes.

Customers rely on FDON because of its commitment to quality and precision. Each bearing undergoes strict testing to ensure performance under dynamic and heavy loads. Therefore, operators experience smooth rotation, higher efficiency, and less downtime. In addition, the robust design and precise engineering guarantee long-term durability.

FDON slewing bearings combine reliability and safety. For example, on cranes and concrete pumps, these bearings maintain stability during operation. They also improve machine productivity by handling extreme loads without failure. In short, choosing FDON bearings ensures your machinery runs efficiently. Operators benefit from reduced maintenance, better safety, and enhanced performance.

To summarize, FDON double row ball and three row roller slewing bearings offer top performance in engineering machinery. They support heavy loads, rotate smoothly, and last longer. With FDON, manufacturers and operators gain high-quality bearings that optimize operational efficiency, stability, and safety.

When To Choose This Structure — Slewing Bearing
Sheet 01 · Selection Guide

When Should I Choose This Structure?

Before you place an order, check whether a triple-row roller slewing bearing actually matches your equipment’s duty conditions — faster than reading any spec sheet.

  • Your equipment needs continuous 360° rotation under high torque, heavy-load conditions — e.g. cranes, excavators, tunnel boring machines, wind turbine yaw systems.
  • Installation space is limited, and axial load, radial load and tilting moment must be carried by a single bearing rather than a separate bearing-plus-gearbox assembly.
  • The equipment needs a built-in slewing drive gear (internal or external), eliminating extra transmission components and simplifying assembly.
  • The operating environment involves dust, moisture, or large temperature swings, requiring a bearing with built-in sealing and lubrication channels.
  • The project has clear requirements for rotational accuracy and adjustable clearance — e.g. medical equipment, solar tracking mounts, precision turntables.

One-line summary

If your equipment needs to “rotate and carry heavy loads at the same time,” a triple-row roller slewing bearing is usually the most direct, integrated solution.

Typical equipment

Tower crane slewing platforms, crawler crane turntables, excavator upper structures, TBM cutterhead drives, wind turbine yaw/pitch systems, stacker-reclaimer slewing bodies.

When NOT To Choose It — Slewing Bearing
Sheet 02 · When Not To Use

When Should I NOT Choose It?

We’d rather help you find the right solution than sell you the wrong one. Here’s when a slewing bearing may not be the best fit.

  • !
    If your rotational speed requirement exceeds the typical design range for slewing bearings (e.g. high-speed rotating platforms), a cross roller bearing or dedicated high-speed structure is usually a better fit.
  • !
    If overall weight is extremely sensitive for the machine (e.g. drone gimbals, small precision instruments), a thin-section or angular-contact bearing combination may be lighter and more suitable.
  • !
    If budget and production volume favor a standard bearing plus external gear assembly, that may be more cost-effective for non-heavy-duty, non-harsh-environment applications.
  • !
    If installation space is extremely constrained and cannot meet the minimum installation diameter, confirm with our engineers whether a compact custom design is available.

Required Data For Selection

You don’t need a finished drawing to get started — tell us what you already know, and our engineers will help fill in the rest.

CategoryData NeededWhy It Matters
Load ParametersAxial load, radial load, tilting momentDetermines the number of rows and raceway design
Envelope DimensionsInstallation OD / ID, installation height, bolt hole patternDetermines whether a standard size fits or custom sizing is needed
Speed & DutyOperating speed (rpm), continuous or intermittent duty, environmentAffects lubrication method and seal grade
Drive TypeInternal-tooth / external-tooth / no gear (bearing only)Determines gear module, tooth count and precision grade
PrecisionRotational accuracy, clearance range (negative clearance required?)Affects manufacturing process and inspection standard
Drawing / Reference PartExisting drawing, old bearing model, or competitor part numberAllows a direct 1:1 match or replication — the fastest path to selection

No drawing on hand? That’s fine — send us the parameters you know, or a photo of your old bearing’s nameplate.

Materials, Hardness, Clearance & Gear — Slewing Bearing
Sheet 05 · Material & Process

Materials / Hardness / Clearance / Gear Treatment

Every batch ships with a material certificate, hardness test report and NDT report — third-party re-inspection is welcome.

01 · MATERIAL

Ring Material

42CrMo / 50Mn (specifiable)

Determines overall strength and fatigue life. Heavy-duty applications use alloy structural steel with quenching & tempering.

02 · HARDNESS

Raceway Hardness

HRC 55–62, depth customizable

Medium-frequency induction hardening gives more uniform hardness than through-hardening, avoiding soft spots.

03 · CLEARANCE

Clearance Grade

Standard or negative, P0–P6

Heavy-duty, low-speed equipment usually uses negative clearance for higher stiffness; precision equipment can go tighter.

04 · GEAR

Gear Treatment

Q&T or induction-hardened teeth

Frequent start/stop or heavy-duty drive applications benefit from hardened tooth flanks for longer life.
