In June 2001, SKF launched its new line of L-shape slewing bearings to cover small machinery applications ranging from aerial work platforms and assembly machines to industrial positioners. In addition to this range, SKF manufactures crossed roller or ball slewing bearings for earth-moving equipment and forestry machines, among other applications.
L-shape bearings – “L” stands for “light” – are dimensioned between 500 mm and 1,200 mm and are fully interchangeable with slewing bearings from other manufacturers. They are available from stock through SKF’s global distribution network and are easy to mount.
