To provide a quotation for a Rollix slewing ring, if it is a standard part listed in our catalogue, our sales teams will need the part number, the quantities required, and the Incoterms associated with your request. Our standard parts can also be ordered directly via our online shop (https://b2b.defontaine.com/). If you would like our engineering teams to assist you in defining and designing a specific slewing ring, you will need to complete our IT ETR form (available for download from the media library on our website).

All ring part numbers are listed and categorised by family: standard ball bearings, light-series ball bearings, standard crossed-roller bearings, precision bearings and special-purpose bearings. All part numbers are listed in the slewing ring catalogue, which can be downloaded from the media library on our website.

Light-series ball slewing rings can be manufactured from L-shaped profiles or solid sections. There are three classes of clearance accuracy for each type of slewing ring. These slewing rings are not suitable for suspended loads.

Typically 5 to 30% less fuel, depending on the vessel, route, technology and operation.

Our Rollix e-shop https://b2b.defontaine.com/ allows you to order standard slewing rings directly online and have them delivered in under a week from our stock.

Rollix offers solutions for wind-assisted propulsion. Wind-assisted propulsion is a propulsion aid that harnesses the wind using various technologies (rigid sails, wings, Flettner rotors, kites) to reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

We manufacture slewing rings and bearings with an average diameter ranging from 150 mm to 6200 mm.

Rollix manufactures preloaded slewing rings with crossed rollers, or with two or three rows of rollers. Rollix also offers preloaded or reduced-preload slewing rings with single-row or double-row ball bearings.

Slewing rings are classified into several main categories based on the rolling element, geometry and level of precision.
1. Ball slewing rings
Rollix offers several variants of ball slewing rings, designed for standard applications involving moderate to high loads.
• Single row of balls
Compact slewing rings, suitable for moderate loads and where space is limited.
• Double row of balls
Higher load capacity than the single row; used for more demanding machinery.
• Light series (L-shaped profiles or solid rings)
Designed for applications requiring weight reduction.
2. Crossed-roller rings
Crossed rollers provide high rigidity and a high load capacity, particularly for combined loads.
• Single row of crossed rollers
Capable of withstanding axial and radial loads in compact applications.
• Double row of crossed rollers
Even greater rigidity and capacity, used in cranes, wind turbines, forestry equipment, etc.
3. High-precision rings
Rollix offers ranges specially optimised for high-precision applications, such as robotics or indexing tables.
• Compact range
Very high positioning accuracy, available in a wide range of diameters (148 mm to over 2,400 mm).
• Compact Light
A lighter version of the Compact range, still designed for high precision.
4. ‘Compact CB’ slewing rings
Although the term ‘CB’ is not explicitly mentioned in the PDF, it generally refers to the Compact / Compact Light range, designed for applications requiring minimal space and superior precision.
5. Other complementary ranges:
• Three-row roller slewing rings
Slewing rings for extreme loads (offshore cranes, mining machinery).
• Hybrid slewing rings / thin sections
Alternatives combining bearings and slewing rings, for severe space constraints.
