In the dynamic and demanding world of oil and gas production, precision, durability, and efficiency are non-negotiable. Offshore drilling rigs and pumps operate in some of the harshest environments on the planet, where extreme temperatures, corrosive conditions, and high-pressure demands are the norm. Custom slewing drives, like those in Potesta & Company’s SlewPro line, play a critical role in enhancing the functionality and safety of these systems, ensuring optimal performance even under the most challenging conditions.

Medical imaging technologies like CT scanners and MRI machines are essential tools in modern healthcare, providing critical insights that guide diagnoses and treatments. At the core of these systems is a range of intricate components, one of which plays a crucial role in enabling the precision and reliability required for accurate imaging: high-precision slewing rings.

These components ensure the smooth and accurate rotation of imaging devices, helping physicians capture detailed images of a patient’s internal structures. In this blog post, we'll explore the vital role slewing rings play in medical imaging systems, emphasizing their precision, reliability, and customizability, which are key to patient safety and equipment efficacy.

At SlewPro, our commitment to excellence in manufacturing slewing rings, drives, and gears is evident in every product we deliver. Since our inception in 2012, we have built a reputation for providing high-quality products, responsive service, and expert support to manufacturers across North America. This blog post delves into the engineering and design process behind our slewing rings, highlighting the unique features that set them apart in the market.

Thin section bearings, also known as slim bearings or thin-walled bearings, have become indispensable components in various industries due to their unique design and remarkable performance. In this blog, we'll explore the features and benefits of thin section bearings, shedding light on why they are the preferred choice for applications where space, weight, and precision matter.

While slewing ring bearings do perform heavy-duty functions often under the worst possible conditions, they must be treated as delicate instruments to ensure their accuracy and a long operating life. Following the installation procedures precisely is critical to ensuring the best possible performance.
