NMT Four-Point Contact Ball Bearings Precision Operation Bearings For Slewing Support Mechanism With Multi-Directional Load

With the continuous upgrading of automatic equipment and construction machinery, a large number of rotating mechanisms bear forces from multiple directions instead of single-direction loads. Rotary platforms and equipment turntables are subjected to horizontal force, vertical force and overturning moment caused by tilting during operation. Ordinary bearings can only withstand loads in one single direction. Combined assembly of multiple bearings will not only enlarge the overall structure size of machinery, but also easily lead to uneven load distribution and rapid local abrasion of components. Many devices work in open-air conditions. Rotary mechanisms need long-term intermittent operation. Day and night temperature difference and dust erosion continuously test the comprehensive performance of bearings. Disassembly and assembly of mechanical rotating structures are complicated. Once the bearing fails, the whole set of equipment will stop running, bringing heavy loss of production and expensive maintenance cost. The market has strong demand for four-point contact ball bearings that can independently bear complex multi-directional loads, maintain long-term stable rotating precision and adapt to long-time intermittent working environments.

NMT Four-Point Contact Ball Bearings adopt optimized arc raceway design. Balls and raceways form four contact points. A single bearing unit can resist radial force, axial force and overturning moment at the same time, simplifying mechanical structure and reducing the number of assembled parts. Internal components are forged with high-purity bearing steel and processed through multiple precise heat treatment procedures to improve surface hardness and anti-fatigue performance, preventing spalling failure on rolling contact surfaces under long-term alternating loads. Precision screened and ground steel balls feature high dimensional consistency, reducing runout during rotation and maintaining positioning accuracy of rotary platforms for a long time. Different sealing structures can be selected according to working scenarios to block rainwater, dust, gravel and other contaminants from entering raceways and avoid deterioration of lubricating grease. Standard overall dimensions match mainstream installation standards of rotary mechanisms, making reconstruction and part replacement of new and old equipment simple and convenient. Long service life grease lubrication mode can be adopted to extend maintenance intervals, which is ideal for outdoor large machinery that cannot be maintained frequently.

Various structural types are available. Selection can be made according to rotating speed, compound load value and dustproof & waterproof requirements to fit intermittent low-speed rotation and continuous angle adjustment mechanisms.
