OIL & GAS
Thin section and slewing ring bearings are used in pipe welding and inspection equipment both on land and offshore. Slewing rings are commonly used in top drive systems. These robust bearing designs support the heavy weights of the drill string and the torque generated during drilling operations. These are also used in swivels enabling controlled rotation while maintaining a seal to prevent fluid leakage.
