igus® Announces Compact PRT-04 Slewing Ring Bearing For Installations With Limited Space
igus® announces the release of a new compact version of its PRT-04 slewing ring bearing, offering mechanical engineers a powerful solution for modern machine designs with limited installation space.
Engineered for precise rotary movements under medium loads, this bearing is up to 50 percent flatter, 60 percent lighter and 20 percent more cost-effective than the previous PRT-01 model, making it ideal for packaging machines, assembly tables and modular equipment.
The key to its performance and longevity is the use of dry-running, high-performance plastics in the sliding elements, eliminating maintenance, achieving corrosion resistance and maintaining quiet operation. The bearing also includes a reduced outer ring, which creates space in the inner diameter for directly integrating cables and drives.
"Our customers are increasingly faced with the challenge of integrating high-performance components into ever more compact machine designs," says Marc Trenkler, Product Manager for Slewing Ring Bearings at igus.
Meeting these needs, the PRT-04 offers an advantage for applications that require both high performance and space efficiency, with units available for all installation sizes in the PRT-04 series. Designers can quickly configure and order their custom slewing ring bearings using the igus online configurator.
