To, "slew" menas to turn without change of place, a "slewing" bearing is a rotational rolling- element bearing that typically supports a heavy but slow -turning or slow-oscillating load, often a horizontal platform such as a conventional crane, a swing yarder, or the wind -facing platform of a horizontal -axis windmill.

Compared to other rolling -element bearing. Slewing bearing are thin in section and are often made in diameter of a metre or more, the slewing bearings on the Falkrik Wheel are 4 metres diameter and fit over a 3.5 meter axle. Slewing bearings resemble oversize aircraft control surface bearings.

Slewing bearings often use two rows of rolling elements. They often use three race elements, such as an inner ring and two outer ring " halves" that clamp together axially.

Slewing bearings are often made with gear teeth integral with the inner and outer side, used to drive the plateform relative to the base.
