Excavator Swing Bearings: The Pivot Point for Smooth Slew

Swing bearings (slew rings) support your excavator’s upper-structure weight and transmit swing torque from the slew drive to the superstructure. When the bearing raceways pit, rollers spall, or the seal lip fails, you’ll feel chatter during rotation, notice grease leaking from under the turret, or see uneven wear patterns that lead to sudden failure. VI Equipment stocks complete swing-bearing assemblies—inner and outer rings, tapered rollers, seals, and clamp rings—so you can restore factory slew precision and uptime in one swap.

Reman & Brand-New Swing Bearings for John Deere, Hitachi & Caterpillar

Whether you’re running a Deere 210G LC, a Hitachi ZX470, or a Cat 336, we catalogue swing bearings by machine model, serial prefix, and OEM part number so matching takes minutes. Reman bearings are ultrasonic-cleaned, raceways ground to OEM spec, rollers replaced with hardened alloy units, and new seals pressed in—delivering factory performance at roughly 60 % of dealer cost. Brand-new aftermarket assemblies use heat-treated 52100 bearing steel, machined seal housings, and come with clamp-ring hardware—backed by a 12-month unlimited-hour warranty.

Spotting Swing-Bearing Wear Before It Grounds You

Listen for metallic chatter during rotation, inspect for grease weep at the seal lip, or watch for uneven gap around the upper ring when you swing. A dial-gauge check should read ≤ 0.5 mm total run-out; anything above that accelerates roller fatigue. If you see fluting or brinelling on the raceway, email our parts desk a close-up photo of the bearing tag and wear pattern—we’ll confirm whether a seal-and-grease service, partial rebuild, or full replacement best protects your schedule and budget.

In-House Swing-Bearing Rebuilds: Precision Grinding & Assembly

Our Langley bearing shop completes most swing-bearing rebuilds in five business days. Outer and inner rings are ground to ± 0.02 mm roundness, rollers matched by diameter and hardness, and seals installed to OEM torque spec. Each assembly is shop-assembled with factory grease and run on a bearing-spin rig to verify smooth, chatter-free rotation under load. A dimensional inspection report ships with every unit so you know the exact tolerances before it goes back on your machine.
