New Revolvo Service Meets Urgent Requirement for Slewing Rings Outside Of Catalogue Ranges & On Short Lead Times

“We are satisfying a niche in the market for bespoke, slightly non-standard, or larger sized slewing rings in small to medium volumes, usually less than 50 pcs, where existing manufacturers of slewing rings for equipment such as wind turbines, cranes, rotary tables etc, either can’t deliver on time, or can’t be bothered to quote for small volume enquiries,” said Adrian Menzies, Sales and Marketing Director for Revolvo.

“Increasingly, we found the established leading European slewing ring manufacturers production capacities filled with high volume orders from the wind energy sector, leading to customers looking worldwide, often to unproven sources, for suppliers prepared to manufacture lower volumes with competitive delivery times.”

“Slewing rings are effectively thin section bearings, usually with internal or external gear teeth, so it needed a bearing manufacturer with the experience of making large thin section bearings, and with gear cutting facilities to step into this void and respond to what the market is demanding. With our state-of-the-art technology, which provides us with the ultimate in production flexibility, we are well placed to meet this demand, with the ability to deliver in a matter of weeks, rather than months.”

Revolvo can provide a solution whether the requirement is for a bespoke design, or small adaptations to a standard catalogue product. The scope of Revolvo’s manufacturing service includes slewing rings with single and double row balls; cross rollers; three-row rollers; and ball/roller arrangements. Gear teeth can be internal or external, with both helical and straight forms available.

Where the requirement is for bespoke solutions, Revolvo provides an in-house design and manufacturing service to deliver slewing rings to customer’s exact specifications, or to suit the requirements of a specific application. These products, in common with all Revolvo-manufactured slewing rings are manufactured to the highest quality standards, from European sourced quality materials.

In addition to proprietary manufacturing, Revolvo also offers in-house repair of slewing rings, dependent on the economics of size and cost.

This service is invaluable to users of slewing rings, across a broad range of industries, faced with lengthy downtime of equipment, sometimes running into months, following damage or failure of slewing rings. Using Revolvo’s repair and refurbishment service this costly downtime can be reduced substantially, in many instances to a matter of weeks, or even less.

The list of industries that benefit from Revolvo’s new service for slewing rings includes: bulk materials handling, water treatment, metal processing, mining & quarrying, oil & gas, defence, transport, forestry, packaging, wind energy, renewable power, and many more.
