(OP)
Does anybody know what the plastic spacers in a slew bearing are called and who manufactors?

RE: Slew bearing design

They are called spacers and should be available from the
manufacturer.  They purchase them from a number of sources including sources outside the country.  They can be made from a variety of materials depending on the application.
Most are polyethylene or similar material.  I assume you are speaking of ball bearings but the same is true of cross roller bearings as well or even 3 row roller bearings.
They may be inch sizes or metric to match with their rolling element sizes.  Some sizes fit both inch or metric and are interchangeable.
