 subject:  Request for information - slewing bearing

Good morning;

I am requesting information regarding slewing bearings with the following parameters:

Diameter 5 to 7 m

Type: Compression

Gear: External

Movement: Intermittent

Drives: 2x 180 deg apart

Rotation axis: Vertical

Revolutions: about 120.000 during lifetime

Working Loads: Axial 25446 kN, Radial 5555 kN, Resulting moment 20348 kNm

Extreme Loads: Axial 38478 kN, Radial 16237 kN, Resulting moment 59480 kNm

The bearing will be assembled into a turntable mounted on a vessel.

Do you have any slewing bearings or a design that match these criteria’s? If not, do you have a bearing that is close to this spec?

Any quick feedback is highly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Øyvind Thoresen
