Our Industry Solutions
Construction and infrastructure
Our cities are growing rapidly. Forecasts estimate that in the next 30 years, so within one generation alone, a further three billion people worldwide will move to metropolitan regions. This presents massive challenges, not only for transport and traffic, but, above all, for the infrastructure and construction of buildings.
Here at Longwei transmission , we are actively participating in shaping the cities of tomorrow with our innovative products: whether this is through passenger transport or the implementation of construction projects.
1.Excavators
Excavators are put to use wherever the movement of earth is required: This begins with gardening and landscaping, where so-called mini or midi-excavators are used, and extends to street and house construction with medium-sized excavators, culminating in opencast and large-scale mining, where large excavators and mining excavators provide reliable support.
LONGWEI plays a crucial role in ensuring that this machinery is able to perform its hard work on construction sites every day. And it does this all around the world. Designed in close collaboration with the manufacturer, our slewing bearings constitute a key component of the respective excavator models.
2. Our solutions for excavators
A . Small Excavator ：
The use of so-called small or mini excavators is becoming increasingly popular for gardening, landscaping, house renovations, and for road reconstruction. The operating weight of these types of excavators is around one to six tons for mini excavators and around seven to ten tons for midi excavators. These excavators mainly move on rubber tracks. The demands on the slewing ring between the chassis and body are particularly high here.
Medium-sized excavators
Medium-sized excavators have an operating weight ranging between 10 and 60 tons, and can have both a wheeled or a tracked chassis. The fields of application for this type of excavator are very diverse. They range from house and street construction to loading and unloading activities. This places particularly high demands on the slewing ring between the chassis and body. Since the slots at the construction site tend to be very tight, downtime must be avoided. Irrespective of whether you have interior of exterior gearing, the slewing ring must be easy to service, durable and robust.
Large excavators and mining excavators
The term mining excavator refers to the group of largest excavators with a bucket capacity of over 50 tons of material weight. These machines are mainly used in mines for the extraction of coal, ores, and other raw materials. Their higher levels of mobility constitute an advantage over bucket excavators. This is achieved by means of the bearing, which ensures a connection between the upper structure and chassis of the excavator, enabling you to swivel around the whole work area.
Large excavators and mining excavators have an operating weight of around 50 to 200 tons. They are used in quarries and other, similar spoil pile areas. These excavators’ chassis generally have a chain drive. Harsh operating conditions and high levels of dust and dirt accumulation are also particularly challenging for the slewing rings between the chassis and body. Thanks to its many years of experience, LONGWEI is always able find a suitable solution for the manufacturer, ensuring that unnecessary operational downtime is avoided.
Crawler cranes
Crawler cranes are used if the field of application is not accessible for a hydraulic excavator, for example, if a large height difference must be overcome but there is not enough space. They can extract from water and also be used in sand and gravel pits. Not even trenches for diaphragm walls are a problem for crawler cranes.
Bucket excavators
Bucket excavators are amongst the largest excavators in the world. They are mainly used to extract raw materials in large-scale and opencast mining. Bucket excavators are particularly well suited to lignite mining, given their considerable output levels of up to 240,000 tons per day.
LONGWEI bearings are used in several parts of these types of excavators to ensure that the several hundred metres high and several thousand tons of heavy machinery can be used effectively. This begins with the paddle wheel bearings, which must be especially protected against dirt, and extends to the portal bearing, which makes the swivelling of the upper structure on the chassis possible. Pivot bearings are used on the conveyor belts and spreaders, which are necessary for the handling of the spoil piles. Other applications include for bridge bucket wheel machines and drumming machines, which are used for the handling and mixing of bulk materials, and for the often 100-metre-long cantilever to which the bucket wheel is attached. Several slewing rings with various rotation axes are also used in a bucket excavator.
The accumulation of dust and dirt during extraction work is a big challenge for the technology. In order to prevent downtime due to defects, we bring our experience into collaborating with manufacturers.
Drilling Equipment
Three row ball slewing bearing for CANYON EQUIPMENT MR-A500 Excavator Drill
If pits are required without pit inclinations, as is the case for fence posts, fountains or heat pumps, drilling equipment can be used. For this, great depths must be conquered, which will result in high speeds and long intervals of operation on the slewing ring.
Their malfunctioning would delay the work, and perhaps even lead to the tool being damaged. LONGWEI can draw on its experience from various different areas of application here and develop robust and long-lasting solutions.
Automotive engineering
As flexible modes of freight transport, lorries are at the centre of global logistics. The increasing demand for transport capacity is met by ever larger modes of transport. This introduces a unique set of challenges for manufacturers of semi-trailers and trailers since these transportation vehicles must be particularly agile on the narrow streets of our cities.
Slewing bearings by LONGWEI are a key component for controllable axes. They also come in a turntable edition to be used with trailers. Drawing on their many years of experience, our engineers develop economical solutions to ensure freight transport remains safe and efficient.
The reliability, durability and ease of use of the slewing bearings made by LONGWEI not only benefits the transporting of loads, but also of people. They can be found as reliable central swivel joint bearings and motor bogie bearings in many trams and articulated buses.
Our solutions in the field of automotive engineering
Tram:
Unbeknownst to passengers, our bearings provide their services smoothly and reliably in trams. Today’s trains are markedly larger and more comfortable than older models, yet travel along as narrow a rail network as before. This poses great challenges for engineers, especially when it comes to curves.
LONGWEI slewing rings help to solve this problem: Our bespoke central swivel bearings and motor bogies impart excellent driving features upon modern trains. Thanks to the durability and easy maintenance of our bearings, vehicles meet even the highest safety demands despite long service intervals.
Typical products

Forced steering semi-trailers
The number of goods being transported on the roads is increasing more rapidly than the number of available transporters. In addition, the goods are becoming ever larger, longer and heavier. This means that semi-trailers must be upgraded too since to ensure efficient logistics, they must be able to move around securely in the existing transport network. The turning circle of the vehicle is the crucial factor here. In spite of large dimensions, it must be kept as small as possible.
Here too, slewing bearings made by LONGWEI rothe erde are used. Together with the manufacturer of the semi-trailer, our engineering team will develop a solution which enables large shipments to be carried out without interruptions and in an economical manner. Our bearings make it possible to precisely steer the additional axes of the semi-trailer. The result: good handling, even in narrow spaces. In this way, we make an active contribution to road transport security.
Lorry Trailers
Trailers are vehicles with a loading area but without their own engine. In order to increase the loading capacity of a lorry, trailers are attached to the tractor unit. In most lorry trailers, the front axis is mounted onto a pivot plate. All loads are carried using this pivot plate when driving and braking. turntables, which are based on experience gained from decade of service and subjected to continuous quality controls, assume the loads and make it possible for the front axis to swivel. Should you have any questions or require any information, our engineering team is always at your disposal.
Articulated bus
volvo double articulated bus
In locations where building a network of trams is uneconomical or where this cannot logistically be carried out, articulated buses represent an alternative. Nonetheless, growing cities, narrower roads, badly parked vehicles, and a growing number of passengers present a new set of issues for bus manufacturers. To enable the vehicles to smoothly manoeuvre through the city’s traffic, high-quality joint slewing rings are needed.
Our engineers can draw on their experience in the field of slewing bearings when developing the articulated buses of tomorrow. With the highest quality and reliability standards, we provide manufacturers with the optimal conditions: Buses with joint slewing rings made by LONGWEI remain a safe mode of transport, even under the strain of an emergency brake.
Skips (dumpers)
Skips also called dumpers, are used on construction sites for the removal of excavation and construction materials. Everyday, hundreds of skips are used in large mining excavation fields. One single vehicle can transport a load of up to 400 tons. The skips bring valuable raw materials and excavation materials to the unloading sites, which are often far away, and where the material is either crushed or stored. A tiltable pit combined with a built-in slewing ring allows for precise unloading. Here too, solutions by Longwei offer the optimal conditions for durable and smooth operation.
Fire brigade Turntable ladders
Turntable ladders are the vehicles most commonly used by the fire brigade. With these, people can be rescued from burning buildings and from great heights. For fire-fighting operations from above and at night, fire brigade turntables can also be used as mobile lighting masts. In order to be able to safely erect and turn the ladder, the precise, horizontal alignment of the vehicle is necessary. Uneven surfaces beneath can be manually evened out using extendible supports. Depending on the terrain, however, this procedure can be time-consuming and delay life-saving operations.
For this purpose, level-evening slewing rings made by LONGWEI are the optimal solution: Special slewing rings even out the placement of the vehicle without losing any time and, thus, make safe work on the extended ladder possible.
Heavy-duty transport vechicles
Shipments of goods which exceed a given dimension or weight are classified as special shipments. For these, special vehicles are required, which allow for heavy loads and excessively long goods to be safely transported along narrow and bendy roads. Controllable wheel axes are needed for this.
manufactures slewing rings with which vehicle manufacturers can separately control individual axes or take forced control of the axes.
Forklifts slewing attachment
40 tons Forklifts
Forklifts are becoming increasingly important in internal logistics: The loading and unloading of lorries, internal transport and the assembling of high-bay warehouses can all be rapidly carried out by these vehicles. Moving around the smallest of spaces and swivelling the lifted load are the most significant challenges to be solved by forklift manufacturers. A forklift swivel attachment, strengthened with durable slewing rings made by LONGWEI offers manufacturers an economical and technically-sophisticated solution.
communal utility vehicles
sweep machine
Slewing rings made by LONGWEI are used in the field of communal utility vehicles, especially in the construction of refuse collection vehicles. In urban spaces, they are predominantly used for emptying comparatively small bins. In order to make the best use of the vehicles, the waste must be permanently compressed. For this reason, rear loaders with a main shaft bearing press system are popular: The waste is emptied into rotating chambers, then pulled over a screw conveyor in the direction of the tailgate which continuously presses it together. This process must function smoothly and be adjusted to suit low-maintenance, long operations. LONGWEI’S engineering team accurately design the slewing rings used to match the specified loads.

Deck cranes
Hydraulic Telescopic Knuckle Boom Marine Ship Deck Crane
As the ship’s own loading gear, deck cranes load and unload goods from cargo ships with a very high lifting capacity. Here, robust slewing bearings are in demand. They guarantee the swivel capacity of a deck crane under adverse maritime conditions: whether at irregular intervals with heavy loads or during high periods of operation when handling lighter and mid-sized loads.
Deck cranes have replaced traditional derricks on freight ships as the on-board loading gear. Today, this term comprises all ship cranes and lever mechanisms which load or unload goods. They are an important player in fast cargo handling, especially when no cranes with sufficient lifting capacity (SWL) are available in the destination port. The lifting capacity of modern ship deck cranes lies at between 5 and 1000 tons, depending on the profile of requirements.

Drilling devices and attachments
Three row roller slewing bearing for CANYON EQUIPMENT MR-A500 Excavator Drill
In order to complete construction projects in as little time as possible, machines such as soil drilling devices, skips, concrete pump cantilevers, vibrating rollers, wheel bearings and pivot bearings are indispensable.
LONGWEI slewing bearings are developed to withstand hard operating conditions around the world. In close collaboration with customers, our engineers develop economic solutions, which are perfectly tailored to individual demands.
A basic device with different attachments: Here, provides the optimal solution. Our experiences gained from the field of stand-alone devices are indispensable when it comes to attachments’ application scenarios and their specific operational conditions. slewing rings are designed to dependably meet expectations in terms of ease of service, reliability and durability.
SKIPS
Skips, also called dumpers, are often used on construction sites for the removal of excavation and construction materials, since the tilting device enables fast and precise emptying. delivers bearings for the built-in slewing ring, which allow for durable and uninterrupted operation.
Concrete pump cantilevers
Three row ball slewing bearing for XCMG concrete pump truck dimensions Concrete
Concrete is the most commonly used construction material. A concrete pump is used to transport the mass of concrete quickly and efficiently to areas which are difficult to access. A pivot arm which aligns the concrete pump’s nozzle with the desired location is required for this. A slewing ring makes sure that the pivot arm can be perfectly controlled. When developing and constructing slewing rings, pays close attention to ensuring the latter’s precision and robustness meet the demands of construction sites around the world. High tilting moments when extending the concrete pump cantilever are reliably transmitted to ensure the pump operates safely.
Vibration rollers
compress soil and asphalt. A slewing ring in the break joint makes this type of roller very flexible. The front roller can be precisely controlled. This allows the vibration roller to reach the ground which needs to be compressed without the need for manoeuvring. This results in great time savings by reducing operational time at the construction site and by making the ground areas worked on more quickly accessible again. Our engineers have developed a product that withstands the hard operational conditions and strain caused by dust, dirt and heat that remains economical for roller manufacturers and guarantees reliability and ease of service for users.

Precision applications
Certain applications call for roller bearings, which offer a particularly high level of precision under unusual operational conditions. For example, as far as assignments in or observations of space are concerned, or the safety of patients during a medical test.
Machine tools and production technology
Machine tools can be divided into two categories: On the one hand, they comprise work machines and along with tools, devices, measuring and test equipment, they also count as operational materials on the other. Above all, lathes and milling machines need to be mentioned here. LONGWEI slewing bearings are used as bearings for the main processing axis, where the highest demands are placed on the concentricity and axial run-out
Our solutions in the field of machine tools and manufacturing technology
Face plates
Face plates are clamping devices for lathes on which large, heavy, or irregularly shaped work pieces for processing are clamped in a vertical or horizontal position. For the storage of the face plates, slewing bearings with the highest levels of precision are needed. Only in this way can the high precision of the work pieces to be processed be ensured.
Typical products

We design side swivel bearings for modern, stabilised towers – manned or unmanned – for battle and protection tankers, howitzers and air defence systems used on land and in water. Our bearings meet the requirements for lightweight construction and precision, and dispose of low and even rotational resistances. This remains true whether the journey be on terrain or at high sea. Moreover, part of our standard is for the bearings to be resistant to corrosion and to require minimal maintenance. Our height swivel bearings can be designed as fixed/fixed or fixed/loose bearings and have the same advantages as side swivel bearings.
Machine gun mountings
Machine guns are used both in mountings (racks of weapons) and in remotely-controlled weapon stations. Since demands on the bearings vary greatly, a variety of models are used here. From simple turntables through to solutions which correspond to a stabilised weapon tower in their design. To reduce the number of interfaces and the installation cost, further attachments, for example, drive designs can be partially integrated.

Typical products
Ammunition feeding
Single row cross roller slewing bearing for loading machines OF Naval artillery and armoured vehicles
Naval artillery and armoured vehicles have loading machines. The ammunition can be found here in rotationally-symmetric magazines. The mobile handling machines require bearings without backlash with low and even turning resistances.
Typical products
Steel rollers
In a track-driven vehicle, for example, a tank, the roller is part of the track drive on which the vehicle is placed. Without rollers, it would not be possible to have a vehicle with a track drive. The intelligent use of steel allows for a better running performance in comparison to when rollers made of aluminium are used. Steel rollers are barely heavier, but a lot more robust, which reduces maintenance costs later down the line.
Turntables
Turntables are used in both machining in machine tools and in automation. Depending on their design, turntables can also be referred to as rotary tables, rotary indexing tables or dividing attachments. Depending on their use, they can also differ in terms of their shape or their precision and rigidity. In machining, the precision and rigidity demands placed on cutting processing are higher than in the non-cutting area. In contrast, in automation, the shortest switching times are required.
Typical products
Scanners
Imaging investigation techniques have already been used in medical technology for decades. Development is moving towards techniques which produce increasingly detailed spatial images; in other words, which enable better test results, whilst simultaneously protecting the patients. To do this, the X-ray pipes and the detector rotate at high speed around the patient.
Our bearings used here are designed so that they work smoothly and precisely, even at high speeds. In this way, LONGWEI makes an contribution to medical progress.
Luggage scanners, which are used for security checks at airports, among other uses, constitute a further application with similar requirements.
Medical scanner
Different types of scanners are used in medical technology. The most well-known methods are the computer tomograph (CT) and the magnetic resonance tomograph (MRT). With these devices, the pipes and detector rotate around the patients. This allows sectional images to be produced from which the doctor can obtain valuable physiological information for his diagnosis.
So that patients who are exposed to the equipment during the test feel relaxed, a quiet operation and high running precision are particularly important. The same applies to ensuring the frictional torque processes are uniform, even at high speeds.
Typical products
Luggage scanners
Single row cross roller,single row ball slewing bearing for china Airport Security X-ray Baggage/Luggage Scanner
Checking luggage plays an important role in flight security and in the security of public spaces. A large proportion of rucksacks, suitcases and bags have to be checked for unsafe objects within a short period of time. All this must be achieved without downtime and with a one hundred percent hit rate. For this, scanners which rotate at a high speed are used. In addition, the machines have to be very quiet wherever there are people in the immediate vicinity, for example at the security gate in the airport. This means bearings made by are an important component in the construction of high-quality luggage scanners.
Typical products
Antennae and telescopes
Telescopes are used to explore space and to observe distant objects. Among others, they serve to monitor satellites and space debris, and also to measure the earth, for example, when earth plate shifts have to be determined. In this, a distinction is made between optical telescopes and radio telescopes.
Telescopes carry out their task in all climate zones. From the rainforest to the South Pole, from the hot plains to the dry, hot mountains. So that telescopes remain operational over the long term, the bearings used in them must be perfectly precise, highly rigid, and dispose of low and even rotational resistances.
An antenna is used for the recording, identification and tracking of objects which are up to 1,000 kilometres away. This task must be reliable under all weather conditions and be carried out with high precision, whether stationary or mobile, permanently rotating or pivoting. Radio antennae serve to monitor ship and air traffic. The weather radar supplies us with daily weather forecasts by exploring bad weather fronts and measuring wind speeds.

Telescopes are placed on a stable foundation. Their bases have a diameter which can be larger than 15 metres. A telescope must move with the speed at which the earth turns in order to be able to precisely follow the observed object. This is achieved by a yaw bearing. So that this movement can be regulated, the bearing’s frictional torque behaviour must be controlled, for example, by reducing the frictional vibration, also called the “stick-slip effect”.

Elevation axis
Singles Row Cross roller slewing bearing for Elevation axis for radio telescopes
Singles Row Cross roller slewing bearing for HartRAO 15m Radio Telescope
Elevation bearings are needed to align the telescope in the sky. To achieve the necessary rigidity, i.e. the resistance to elastic deformation, two bearings are generally used, which can be designed in a fixed/fixed or fixed/loose structure. The fixed/loose structure has the advantage of being able to compensate for the length extensions of the telescope resulting from differences in temperature.
Typical products
Instrument bearings
For instruments, e.g. a camera or a cable winder to be able to rotate, the bearing on the device and the application situation must be adapted.
Mirror bearings

Industries in the field of transport and conveying technology
Maritime applications
The romantic idea of working on the high seas is deceptive. Stormy weather, burning heat and icy cold weather represent significant challenges both for people and materials. Under these conditions, offshore systems and their components must always work reliably.
The slewing bearings made by LONGWEI boast the best of reputations in the offshore industry. They have been used in cranes, rudder post bearings, propeller shafts, and other maritime applications for decades already.
Rudder propellers
Hydraulic well mounted rudder propellers
SEWART Rudder propellers
Rudder propellers are ship propulsions in which the propeller can be pivoted horizontally in any direction. The advantage of this over conventional motors with fixed propellers and rudders lies in its much improved manoeuvrability. Rudder propellers are typically used in cruise ships, ferries, icebreakers or dynamically-positioned drill ships. Slewing bearings with particularly precise gearing and long durability are used to make the swivelling of rudder propellers possible. Depending on the requirement, they are also equipped with multi-row sealing systems to prevent the entering of sea water.
Offshore gangways

Packaging and filling machines
To securely transport products of all kinds, modern packaging machines are indispensable. They are used to pack the most varied of goods and liquids in many different variations and as special solutions, for example, as bottle and can fillers, sealing machines or film winders. Packaging machines must meet two main requirements: Both high throughput and low waste. Continuously rotating slewing bearings help with this: They minimise wear caused by the packaging process and ensure the machines attain a long service life.

Typical products
Spoil pile and conveying equipment
Spoil pile and conveying engineering revolves around creating solutions for the conveying of bulk goods, such as coal, sand, ore or grains. Reliable and powerful bearings are an essential component here, since the conveying tends to take place under difficult weather conditions, and often in remote locations. Environmental influences, such as storms, earthquakes or extreme temperatures place high demands on bearings. This applies to the sealing system too. This must be considered during the design phase.

Ship loaders/unloaders
Single row ball, double row ball for ISKAR BULK MATERIAL SHIPLOADER
Single row ball, or three row roller slewing bearing for RUD Flexible ship loader
Single row ball SB for Floating Dock Cranes - ISKAR Muhendislik Ltd.
Ship loaders and ship unloaders are important in ensuring the effective, material-saving and dust-free transportation of bulk goods on the shipping route. Coal, ores, phosphate, sulphur and fertilisers, but also food, such as grains, are fed onto continuously operational conveyor belts, and transported on a cantilever by means of the ship’s open loading hatch. From there, the goods get to the ship’s cargo space either in free fall, via a downpipe, or a slide.
For the ship to be optimally filled, it has to be moved under the cantilever. Elaborate manoeuvring can, however, be avoided if the cantilever’s unloading system is movable. This is where slewing bearings made by LONGWEI come into play.
Typical products
Continuous ship unloaders
Continuous unloading systems are increasingly entering into the medium-to-large capacity range for the effective, dust-free and almost silent unloading of coal, ores, phosphates, sulphur, fertilizers and other bulk material.
Silos
Silos are used for the storing and mixing of bulk goods. This includes cement, powdered limestone, plastic granulates and also animal feed. Generally, a silo is filled from above and emptied from below. When material is removed, the uniform flow and optimal distribution of the different filling layers is, therefore, important. This is achieved by screw conveyors and other mechanical equipment. They blend goods which are to be filled at different times. Slewing bearings made by LONGWEI are used to achieve the continuous rotations necessary. Since they are durable and resistant to bulk goods, they are perfectly suited to be used in this way.
