I was in on some discussions with Rotek where using this type bearing was discussed. I don't know if they purchased any from Rotek. We bought conventional slew bearings from them.

Aside from the internal stainless steel components, the surrounding material is often aluminum, resulting in a lightweight overall component.
They are made with either balls or rollers depending on the application.
