Thousands of people are currently experiencing a great show every day in large concert stadiums: machine elements from Rodriguez contribute to this: A well-known set designer from Great Britain installs robust slewing rings from Eschweiler in the stage technology of internationally known artists. The high quality and the quick availability of the products score particularly well.
"Our British partner RA Rodriguez UK Ltd. supplies a renowned set designer who originally used a competitor's revolving joints in his individually designed scissor lifts, "explains Martin Stremmel, Product Manager at Rodriguez. "After a personal consultation with our partner, however, he switched to Rodriguez products because they are cheaper and faster available. In the meantime, several ball slewing rings have proven themselves in use and the customer is very satisfied with it ".
The stages accompany the individual artists on their tours, so they are brought from location to location and repeatedly built and dismantled. It is an externally toothed design with a pitch diameter of 1155 mm. The ball slewing rings are used at the base; They are equipped with a pinion drive and thus allow to turn the large scissor lifts.
High-profile applications like this are not necessarily the order of the day for slewing rings. In general, however, designers can develop completely new ideas and solutions thanks to new construction concepts and improved manufacturing processes for these components. The components are extremely easy to assemble and are particularly suitable for high-precision applications - for example in the aviation industry or in special machine construction. The provider also supplies customer-specific slewing rings for special applications or develops customer-specific system solutions Value Added Products (VAP) based on standard components.
