In window cleaning machines, especially in automated or suspended systems, the slewing bearing is a vital component. It connects the base to the crossbeam (traverse), enabling smooth rotation and precise positioning along the building’s facade.
Typically, a single-row ball slewing bearing is used due to its compact structure and ability to bear axial loads and overturning moments caused by the traverse's movement. The bearing's reliability and precision are essential for system stability and operator safety during high-altitude operation. It ensures smooth rotation, which is critical for efficient and uniform cleaning of windows on tall structures.
