Turning
A rotary bearing is, in fact,? tower crane, providing its rotation. Imagine how a huge tower rotates that lifts weights. Without a reliable rotary bearing, this would be impossible. It plays a key role in the safe and effective operation of the entire mechanism.
Functionality and design features
This bearing withstands tremendous loads associated with the movement and lifting of cargo. It should be not only strong, but also very stable, so that the tower crane does not stagger during operation. Inside the rotary bearing there are special elements that distribute pressure and provide smooth rotation. Modern bearings often use special lubricants that extend their service life and reduce friction. The design is different depending on the size and type of tap. For example, bearings for small mobile cranes differ from bearings for huge construction cranes installed on high -rise buildings.
Factors affecting the choice and maintenance
The choice of the correct rotary bearing depends on many factors: on the lifting capacity of the crane to operating conditions. It is important to consider not only the maximum loads, but also the intensity of use. If the crane works constantly in difficult conditions (dust, humidity, vibration), the bearing should be especially resistant to wear. Regular maintenance of a rotary bearing is a guarantee of its long and trouble -free work. Professional examinations, timely replacement of lubrication and control for damage are critical points that allow you to prevent expensive repairs or, even worse, accidents. Professionals always advise not to save on maintenance, since this is ultimately more profitable than spending on repair or replacement.
