Cleveland, OH — SlewPro, a U.S. provider of slewing ring bearings and drives, today announced a strategic partnership with United Equipment Accessories (UEA), a leading designer and manufacturer of slip rings, rotary unions, and hydraulic swivels. The collaboration unites SlewPro’s turntable bearings with UEA’s slip rings and multi-port rotary unions to give OEMs a single, integrated rotation system engineered for cranes, renewable energy applications, material-handling equipment, and heavy industrial machinery.

“Our companies share the same commitment to pairing engineering excellence with practical, reliable solutions,” said Richard Potesta, President and COO of SlewPro, “By partnering with UEA, we can deliver a complete rotation assembly—slewing bearing, hydraulic swivel, and electrical slip ring—engineered to the same interface requirements and supported by a unified technical team.”

What the Partnership Delivers

  • Integrated assemblies: SlewPro slewing ring bearing + UEA multi-port rotary union + UEA electrical slip ring, all configured to customer requirements.
  • Faster approvals: Shared models, drawings, and interface data accelerate design reviews and fit checks.
  • Streamlined sourcing: One purchase order, coordinated lead times, and joint project management.
  • Matched performance: Bearing capacity sized and matched with hydraulic and electrical transfer requirements.
  • Lifecycle support: Coordinated service, spares, and technical support from teams who designed the full assembly.

Applications

  • Cranes & lifting equipment: Smooth 360° rotation with high-pressure hydraulic transfer and reliable signal/power routing.
  • Wind & renewable: Pitch/yaw systems, condition monitoring, and service tooling.
  • Material handling & automation: Turntables, stackers, rotary work cells, and automated machinery.
  • Defense & specialty vehicles: Compact, robust rotation systems for demanding environments.

Availability

SlewPro and UEA are currently quoting joint assemblies for new builds and retrofits. Engineering teams can provide quick-turn concept layouts, 3D models, and sample interface drawings.
