To meet the increasing demand for high-quality, large-diameter bearings, Rodriguez has introduced its own brand of turntable bearings.

All bearings are of a proven, four-point contact design, which allows them to support axial, radial and tilting moment loads.

They consist of a single row of balls with a 'gothic arch' raceway and either spacers or spacer balls to ensure smooth running or one-piece separators for low frictional torque.

Standard bearing diameters range from 100 to 3,900mm.

Two basic versions are available, the KDL series for light applications where high accuracy is not a prerequisite and the KDM series that provides a higher order of performance for greater loads.

Both are manufactured in high-grade carbon steel or stainless steel and shipped pre-lubricated and ready for use.

Both types are available as flanged units or with external or internal gearing and induction-hardened raceways.

A choice of heat-treatment options, coatings and seals may be specified to suit the application.

Fixing can be via standard, equally spaced drilled holes or via tapped holes or even special bolt patterns determined by the customer.
