About us

IMO, based in Gremsdorf, southern Germany, has been one of the world's leading manufacturers of slewing bearings and self-contained slew drives for more than 30 years. The bearing experts focus on customer-specific designs.

IMO slewing rings up to 5.20 m in diameter are for instance used in construction machinery, cranes, medical and transportation technology, mining, tunnelling and open-cast mining. In wind turbines, IMO slewing rings replace prematurely failing blade bearings. IMO Slew drives,  ready-to-install hydraulically or electrically driven system assemblies, are used for example in aerial work platforms, drilling equipment or as steering gears in crane chassis and heavy-duty transporters.

IMO slew drives and slewing rings

IMO is a leading manufacturer of large diameter antifriction bearings and ready-to-install self-contained slew drives. Since 1988, we've been supplying satisfied customers with slewing rings and slew drives that meet their usage needs perfectly - "made in Germany" quality.

Standard versions

At our production location in the south of Germany, we produce standard versions of ball slewing rings, roller slewing rings, and ball-roller combination slewing rings with dimensions ranging from 100 to 6,000 mm. We developed and patented our first slew drives in 1993. Today, our ready-to-install units with spur gear unit or worm drive are available in a wide range of standard series.

Customer-specific versions

However, we focus on tailored customer solutions. IMO engineers and application technicians can provide you with comprehensive advice and work with you to develop the ideal slewing ring and perfect slewing solution for you.

For more than three decades, IMO slewing rings and slew drives have been proving their worth in the most varied of application areas. We've been supplying products to many of our customers for decades. We'd love to have the opportunity to win you over with our technological competence, too!

IMO Slew Drives

A slew drive is a ready-to-install unit consisting of a ball or roller slewing ring for the simultaneous transfer of axial and radial forces as well as tilting moments with hydraulic or electric drives in a completely enclosed housing.

  • Spur gear unit or worm drive

  • Max. torques of up to 450 kNm

  • Max. tilting moment load of up to 1,200 kNm

  • Raceway diameter of up to approx. 1,000 mm

  • Unlimited slewing range

  • Fast installation

  • Smooth, jolt-free movement - no stick/slip effect

  • Maximum safety through full encapsulation

  • Cost-efficient, proven technology

  • Compact, space-saving, heavy duty

Slewing Rings

Slewing rings are large diameter antifriction bearings for the simultaneous transmission of axial and radial forces as well as tilting moments. They replace traditional solutions with fixed and floating bearings as well as king pin bearings. Frequently, this results in bearings with axial/radial bearing combinations with one bearing point. This can significantly simplify the design of the mounting structure and the installation of the bearings, which in turn reduces effort and costs.

Cost-effective, tried-and-tested IMO antifriction bearings are available as:

  • Ball slewing rings, roller slewing rings, and ball-roller combination slewing rings

  • Four-point bearings, double four-point bearings/eight-point bearings, flange bearings, wire race bearings, cross roller bearings

  • Segmented slewing rings

  • Gear rims

  • External gearing, internal gearing, or without gearing

  • Diameter ranging from 100 mm to 6000 mm

  • With cages (steel, brass, or plastic) or spacers (brass or plastic) 

  • With standard seals or specially produced special seals

  • Optionally with induction-hardened raceways

  • Different corrosion protection coatings possible
