Wire-race Slewing Bearings
The wire-race slewing bearings are the high-strength
races for the rolling elements, allows structural and material combinations as
well as cross sections. Dimensions, cross sections and the ring material of the
bearings can be optimally matched to all application requirements. DRE
wire-race bearings extend the range of applications for open-centre slewing
bearings. They offer decisive advantages over conventional surface-hardened
slewing bearing designs like high running accuracy, low and uniform torque
resistance even when distorted, resistance to corrosion, low weight due to the
surrounding aluminium alloy bearing rings and low maintenance.
In addition, wire-race bearings offer the possibility of
a more economical repair since it is often sufficient to replace individual
components such as wire races, rolling elements, spacers and seals in order to
reuse a repaired bearing.
Wire-race bearing can be ball bearings, roller bearings
or a combination design of wire-race bearing and surface-hardened bearing.
Dimension from 100mm to 5000mm.

DRE wire-race bearings with light alloy bearing rings have
gained special importance. The same load carrying capacity as that of
comparable steel bearings is achieved by using an aluminium alloy of high
mechanical strength as ring material. Compared to steel bearings of identical
cross sections, aluminium wire-race bearings weigh approx. 60 % less.
A light alloy wire-race bearing can be made
corrosion-proof and maintenance-free by using appropriate materials for the
rolling elements and races. The corrosion behaviour of aluminium bearing rings
can be significantly improved by a surface treatment.
Wire-race Bearings are specially designed for a lot of military
machines like tank because of their good structure with light weight. And they
also widely used in optical telescopes, articulated buses, electric light bulb
production and so on.
