Case study · KIS
The bearing behind the bend.
The project
KIS uses the articulated bus to explain the role of slewing rings in a familiar vehicle. The bearing connects the front and rear sections while accommodating movement and combined loads. The source highlights four-point contact ball bearings as a compact way to bring several load-handling functions together.
The animation
The articulated bus gives the slewing-ring story a familiar setting. The film connects a specialist component with the movement of the vehicle it serves.
