Slewing Bearing Installation Surface
Mechanical machining of the bearing connection surfaces on the connecting structure is required . The mounting position of slewing bearings must correspond to that shown in the drawing. If a transporting cross was delivered, it has to be removed before installation.
The corrosion protection can be removed with an alkaline cleaner. Cleaner must be prevented from coming into contact with the seals or the raceway. Remove the protective coating from the upper and the lower mounting surfaces of the slewing bearing as well as from the gear.
The corrosion protection can easily be removed, for example, using a biodegradable alkaline cleaner.
Rapid removal of the corrosion protection and low environmental impact.
The unhardened zone between the beginning and the end of the hardened region of the raceway is marked with an “S” on the inner or outer diameter of each bearing ring. On the gear ring, the hardness gap is marked on the axial surface. Wherever possible, the hardness gap “S” must be positioned outside the main load-carrying areas. If the main working area for the application is known, then the hardness gap of the ring loaded on the circum-ference must also be positioned outside the main load-carrying area.
The bearing must be completely screwed on for commissionings and test runs. Sufficient load / moment loan must be applied to avoid a slip-stick effect on the anti-friction bearing bodies.
Gearing
Entanglement hazard due to exposed gear
- Keep hands away from moving parts
The backlash is adjusted relative to the three gear teeth marked in green and should be 0.03 – 0.04 x module.After the final tightening of the bearing,the backlash should be rechecked over the entire circumference. A tip edge radius and a tip relief must be provided on the pinion.
