FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: slewing ring contains fixed and movable rings with running paths contacting with rolling bodies located between them. Cross-section of running paths profile represents square equally inclined to ring base, with radial recesses made on each of its sides, and running paths consist of 8 rectilinear and 4 radial surfaces located along diameter of ring running paths centre. In running paths with rectilinear surfaces rolling bodies of roller-type are installed, and between them/in running paths with radial surfaces - rolling bodies of ball-type, at that, balls diameter exceeds rollers diameter.

EFFECT: increase of load-carrying capability of running paths and lowering of contact loads.
