Bearing selection - General
The final and binding selection of a large-diameter slewing bearing is principally made by us.
Selection determines the correct dimensioning of bearing races, gearing and bolt connections.
We, therefore require that you complete our KD 100 applications questionnaire to provide us with all necessary data to help in selection of the appropriate bearing.
The most important data for choosing the right bearing are:
- Applied loads
- Collective loads with respective time percentages
- Speed or number of movements and angle per time unit together with the relating collective loads
- Circumferential forces to be transmitted by the gearing
- Bearing diameter
- Other operating conditions.
Full completion of the KD 100 form will enable us to largely respect your requests and prepare a technically adequate and economical bearing proposal.
Whenever possible, the completed KD 100 form should be submitted to us during the planning stage, but no later than the order placement to allow for confirmation of the bearing.
