Re: Replacement Of Slew Ring Bearing
You must leave the balanced superstructure intact & chocked. With the tripper detached this is a quite straightforward job so long as safety is paramount. Design & build a fixed frame to support the superstructure when & as the latter is jacked up off the trolley. You might, or might not, need to drill or weld bracketwork onto the upper slewing ring mount.
Cranes are out of the question..safety/wind...daily hire cost...crane standing area?? etc. Against these considerations the simple frame shines through.
You will probably have to replace the original grout as well and for this you will need to dismantle some internal trolley chutework.
If you send me the machine GA I can give you a budget price for the frame works complete with the cross travel trolley. ■

Replacement Of Slew Ring Bearing
We have successfuly welded the broken teeth of slew bearing without removing the main structure. The said slew bearing is working satisfactorily for the last 7 years without any problem.
If broken teeth is your problem then we we can solve your problems. This was done at one of the Stackers in HALDIA DOCK, Calcutta. India.

Replacement Of Slew Bearing
We have been involved in several replacement during last few years in China, Philippines, Iran, Brasil and Italy.
In order to replace slew bearing it will be mandatory to put the machine in safety condition prior to operate the replacement activities following a dedicated procedure.
Replacement will be made lifting up the whole upper structure by means of suitable jacks supported on the gantry structure (if the original project already include jacking supports as it should be correct design) and acting against the rotating ring in which it should be already installed suitable plates.
If the gantry and the rotating ring are not equipped with dedicated structures/plates it will be necessary to design and weld additional dedicated lifting brackets strong enough to support the upper part of the machine.
It could be necessary to poor some cast resin in order to restore correct flatness of the structures before the new bearing installation (rothe erde reccomend a total flatness of 0.2 mm on the whole circumference).
In order to define correct safety procedure and possible additonal structures it will be necessary to analyse:
- Balancing of the machine (theoretical and field report during erection) in order to check the center of gravity of the machine at bearing level.
- General Lay Out showing maintenance area and boom tie down on the ground.
- Drawings of gantry and rotating ring structure in order to verify jack supports.
Total weight of the upper structures (to define the jacks size)
We will be able to send a suitable Technical & Economical Quotation for the replacement if you will send to us the above information. ■
Slew Ring Bearing
Sir,
1.The balanced Luff superstructure (which consist of a) Boom strl. b) Bucket wheel c) Slew Deck, d) Mast or Pylon, e) Luff Cylinder, f) Counter Weight Arm, g) Counter Weight-100MT, h) Associated equipment over Slew Deck like Luff Power Pack,Slew& Bucket Wheel Drive Power Pack, Chut Supporting Strl. Boom conv. receiving chute .
You have advised to keep the above items intact and chocked . Pl. note that the Mast/ Pylon strl. is not of the conventional type normaly seen in S/R machines . This strl. is divided into 3 parts * The lower most part is a integrate part of inner Boom strl. upon which the mast middle part is placed over socket type blocks (F) part, and the male part is inserted with rocker arrangement. Each individual assly. is located & align with the help of a pin 50 Dia.and lock plate.
The same practice is adopted in all pivot connections of CWT Arm and inner boom (lower mast). Chocking these rockers may have adverse effect.
We will be happy to keep the balanced Luff superstructure intact and lift / Jack up the entire arrangement above the Slew Ring level and make a gap of 150mm to 200mm so that the Slew Ring’s soft point can be re-located to the load / working zone.
Please note that if dismantling is absolutely mandatory then we will not be using the same Slew Ring Bearing. It will be replaced. As the installed S/R Brg. Deflection / ball race wear is within the acceptable norms of the manufacturer although it has served for 17 years, we want the bearing soft / no load area to be re-located to the load zone (ie. Where the Slew Drive Pinion normally travels.) in order to have a equal wear all round.
The G.A. /DSO drg. cannot be forwarded sorry for the inconveniency. The S /R machine is designed by M/s S&H Bristol UK. Presently the group is with M/s Metso Minerals.
We have the supporting trestle /strl. ready for supporting Mast strl. & Boom .But the problem is in between the two track / rail foundation there is no civil tie beam upon which the jack up structure will be placed. More over you will appreciate that doing the job keeping the Boom along the yard conveyor direction will be too risky .

Replaced Slew Bearing
Hi,
Yes...I have replaced a slew bearing on a 20 year old MAN bucket wheel reclaimer (3000tph).
It can be done, but you need the right equipment and in particular the right type of replacment bearing.

Re: Replacement Of Slew Ring Bearing
for what you need, you should find a customized solution for some smaller factory. the big companies do not do this kind of product if not for large numbers and costs.
I do not recommend the Chinese for the poor quality, bearing life would be very low. you might try omniaberings (http://www.omniabearings.com/bearing...ewingbearing/), is a German company that makes a good product at a good price. maybe I could find the right way, not to spend too much and have a good quality.
I hope it can help you ■
T'was The Week Before Christmas.....
....2010.
I presume that the most recent replies are concerned with the supply of a 3rd ring because the 2nd is maybe getting past it's sell by date.
Many threads are getting replies which are better never than late.

Congratulations
Hello John,
congratulations to your post #1000, and be it that this is not yet the peak of your production. Also, I wish you continued success with this saxophone of yours, on a high note!
This old thread fishing (thrishing?), salesmen don't live in a normal timeframe, rather to a "it's never too late to try a trick or two". When the devious word wriggling becomes a writing on the wall, then it will be time for another change (of a slew ring)... ;-)
All the best!
&
Kind regards
Roland ■
Thank You
Hi Roland,
It is very pleasing to see that other established and competent members read those thrishing threads and support/comment accordingly.
One thing though, sometimes they offer the chance to review ancient posts and maybe, after an intermediate experience it is possible that hindsight might justify a comment without opening a new thread. These occasions are extremely rare (I've seen about 3) and it is probably better to quote the old thread in a new posting. But of course that doesn't affect the thrishing which is why I try to insult the thrishers whenever they arise.
Saxophone is sort of taking a back seat because although retired I am very active in developing machines to load and unload freight containers with bulk. Loading was reasonably straightforward but unloading to any degree of success is proving quite challenging and many concepts have been turned on their heads. I don't want to leave an article unfinished and containers are like bulk vessels, OK to load but a beast to empty, so I have to complete the unloader...for completeness.
I actually miss Anil Seth and his comments. Is he still there? There are others but, can you believe it, I am polite enough not to name then. ■
