Special turntable bearings

With its headquarters in Ohio, Avon is a leading designer and manufacturer of custom, large diameter turntable bearings. Indeed it is one of the most respected manufacturers in this field with customers in a diverse set of markets. Avon also re-manufactures bearings and is known globally for its focus on engineering support.

This acquisition complements manufacturing capabilities at KAYDON® and, in combination with ongoing capital investment programmes, has set the company on course to be the largest manufacturer of slewing ring bearings in North America.

“From our perspective in the UK this news gives our customers instant access to Avon’s flexible manufacturing capabilities for low volume, large diameter slewing ring bearings up to 240 inches (6m) in diameter,” concluded David Hey, Sales Manager at R. A. Rodriguez. “The arrangement also allows us to provide a re-work service for large diameter slewing ring bearings.”
