Stage technology
The show runs with ball bearing slewing rings
A renowned set designer from Great Britain uses robust Rodriguez ball bearing slewing rings in the stage technology of internationally renowned artists.
"Our British partner R.A. Rodriguez supplies a renowned set designer who originally used slewing rings from a competitor in his individually designed scissor lifts," explains Martin Stremmel, Product Manager at Rodriguez. "However, after a personal consultation with our partner, he switched to Rodriguez products because they are cheaper and more readily available. In the meantime, several ball slewing rings have already proven themselves in use and the customer is very satisfied with them".
The stages accompany the individual artists on their tours, i.e. they are transported from one performance venue to the next and are repeatedly assembled and dismantled. It is an externally toothed design with a running circle diameter of 1,155 millimetres. The ball bearing slewing rings are used at the base; they are equipped with a pinion drive and therefore allow the large scissor lifts to be rotated.
High-profile applications such as these are not necessarily the order of the day for ball slewing rings. In general, however, thanks to new design concepts and improved manufacturing processes, designers can develop completely new ideas and solutions with Rodriguez ball slewing rings.
According to the manufacturer, the components are easy to assemble and suitable for high-precision applications - for example in the aviation industry or in special machine construction. Rodriguez also supplies customer-specific ball slewing rings for special applications or develops customer-specific system solutions (VAP) based on standard components. as
