Turntable vs. Slew Bearing?

[Gdeaver]

First choice just happens to have an Igus slew ring bearing listed. Go to their website for dimensions and more info.

We've ordered from VXB.com several times an been very pleased with the result.

Last year we used these on our turret:

Poke around their website. They have a very wide selection. I'd probably go a step or two up from the 400 lb one if you are supporting an arm: the cantilever and shock loads on them can be quite high.

I second this lazy susan. My team used the one on FIRST Choice at first last year until our robot took a dive -- the bearings fell out. We then found this lazy susan to replace the broken one. It is built much better, and can take side loads better.

We third this recommendation. We used VXB as well. Great and affordable to boot.

These are priced a bit higher but seem to be somewhat thicker. We had one blow apart after the bot fell off its cart but were able to put it back together. It lasted another two years before the housing finally cracked.
