General static load capacity in four contact point slewing bearings

Abstract

This work tries to represent the general static load-carrying capacity of fourcontact- point slewing bearings under general loading. This representation is based on a generalization of Sjoväll and Rumbarger's equations and provides an acceptance surface in the load space. This acceptance surface provides the key set of acceptance curves for the design and selection of bearings. © 2010 WIT Press.
