Dalian Tianfa Automation Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has successfully developed an "automatic assembly technology for ball slewing bearings," replacing the traditional manual process of assembling steel balls and spacers. This innovative system has recently passed rigorous testing, and the company has officially submitted a patent application to the State Intellectual Property Office. The breakthrough marks a significant step forward in the automation of precision mechanical components.
Slewing bearings are essential in heavy-duty machinery, capable of withstanding substantial axial, radial, and moment loads. They are widely used in industries such as wind power, lifting equipment, mining, construction, port operations, marine systems, and defense applications. For years, the assembly of these bearings has relied on manual labor, which is not only physically demanding but also time-consuming and prone to inconsistencies in quality.
Since the end of last year, Dalian Tianfa has invested heavily in research and development, assembling a team of technical experts from various fields. Through extensive industry inspections, data analysis, and project evaluations, they explored multiple approaches before selecting the most promising one. To ensure reliability, the company designed and manufactured numerous test fixtures and instruments, integrated PLC control systems, and implemented pneumatic mechanisms to solve critical challenges—such as guiding steel balls and spacers into the raceway through the ball-filling port.
After more than six months of development and over 50 trial runs, the technology was finally perfected. As an example, when assembling 13/8-inch steel balls and their corresponding spacers, this automated method reduces assembly time by 50% compared to manual work. The results show that the automatic assembly technology offers high efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and precise assembly.
What makes this achievement even more impressive is the integration of automatic grease injection and multi-parameter monitoring. When combined with system monitoring software, it enables data storage, analysis, and real-time tracking, significantly enhancing product quality and improving customer service. This innovation not only streamlines the production process but also sets a new standard for the future of bearing manufacturing.
