Customer specific wire race bearing with

rings manufacured from a high nickel rich
material with a thermal expansion coefficient
of practically zero. Such a bearing was
developed and manufactured by IMO!

IMO: “Engineering at its best!”

Split Slewing Rings are ideal for situations where a
bearing has to be fitted around an existing structure, or
where complete dismantling of a machine would be
uneconomic. Typical applications are stone compactors,
tool magazines and yaw bearings of clarification plants.

Eccentric bearing unit from a machine tool used for diesel engine crankshaft machining. The bearing unit
contains two high precision Cross Roller raceways and one slide bearing. The integrated toothing makes it
possible to adjust the eccentricity allowing machining of all crankshaft bearing surfaces in just one operation.
The unit has an external diameter of around 1,200 mm / 47.244 in. Completely manufactured by IMO!

 Technical Information
Drive pinion
The permissible tooth forces (gearing circumferential force) have
been determined with a pinion with z1=17 and x1=0.5. If no special
requirements exist with respect to the gear ratio the drive pinion
can be designed with this gear data. The width of the pinion teeth
should also be more than the teeth on the Slewing Ring. The
difference between teeth widths should be approximately equal to
the module.
If less than 17 teeth are used for the pinion, the gearing should be
checked by calculations. The recommended gear quality for the
pinion is 8e26 or better. In the case of very high tooth forces we
recommend a pinion tip relief and a wide crown design, please
contact our Engineering Department for assistance.
Tooth backlash
The tooth backlash is set at the highest point of the gear. It depends
on the module of the gear and is calculated according to the following
equation:
Tooth backlash to be set
1 δf in [in]
δf = 0.03 to 0.04 • Pd in [1/in]
Pd
For setting the circumferential backlash, the tooth zone with the
run-out 'high point' is marked with green. The backlash is to be set
at this point.
Shock coefficient
As for the applications in which impact is expected, the appropriate
impact coefficients must be considered when determining the Slewing
Rings`maximum torque rating.
Service life
The service life of the gear depends on the operating conditions. The
following factors are key:
• Torque
• Output speed
• Duty factor
• Ambient temperature
• Lubrication etc.
Drive power
In principle the drive should be dimensioned conservatively. The
friction torque of a Slewing Ring can have a wide spread due to the
load combination and magnitude, the design of the mounting
structure, the raceway clearance and many other factors.
If the required drive torque is determined from the friction torque
of the Slewing Ring it is necessary to start with twice the calculated
value for the design of the drive power. Similarly additions should
be made for the accelerating and decelerating of the moved masses
and for any further power requirements according to the application.
44
Lubrication
To ensure flawless operation and a long usable life, adequate and
regular lubrication is necessary. The grease fulfills the following
functions:
For the raceway:
• Reduction of friction and wear in the rolling contacts
• Corrosion protection
• Lubrication of seals
• Additional sealing effect of grease collar
• Low friction torque
For the gears:
• Smoother running
• Lower wear
• Reduced operating noise
• Longer useful life
• Lower heat development
Initial greasing
IMO Slewing Rings are supplied pre-lubricated. High-quality lithium-
complex grease, based on mineral oil, with EP - additives according
to DIN 51825, KP2P-20 is the standard lubricant.
Regreasing intervals
Regreasing must be done at regular intervals, depending on frequency
of use and ambient operating conditions. General attention must
be payed to ensure that the grease used during the greasing is
compatible with the sealing material. Special attention should be
paid to ensure that lubricating grease types originally specified are
used throughout the life of the unit.
Should you wish to use other types of grease, it must be verified
whether the grease is compatible with that used for initial greasing.
Please contact your grease manufacturer.
Please observe also the data in the”Installation and Operating
Manual“ chapter.
Beside regular regreasing during operation, it is also necessary to
grease the Slewing Rings before and after long inactive periods.
Equally important is to regrease the equipment after cleaning.
Attention:
Slewing Rings must not be cleaned with pressure washing
equipment. During pressure washing, large amounts of
pressurized water can penetrate into the Slewing Ring through
the sealing gap and cannot be removed, even by massive
regreasing. This will strongly reduce the usable service life of
a Slewing Ring.
Mixing greases
Greases with different thickeners and / or base oils should generally
not be mixed. The manufacturer should always confirm if different
grease types can be mixed.
Shelf life of lubricants
Lubricants are subject to ageing even if unused. If after about 3
years grease is not yet used, it should be replaced.
Design of mounting structure
Safe transmission of application loads and reliable operation of
Slewing Rings is achieved, along with other factors, through using
adequately designed mounting structures. To ensure safe operation
of Slewing Rings, there are certain minimum requirements to the
mounting structure:
min. H
6
min. H
2
H
min. H
2
min. H

• Sufficient rigidity (see Installation and Operating Manual)
• Maintain flatness according to Installation and
Operating Manual
• No hard points (e.g. through cross beams)
• Bolting surfaces must be machined flat
• A hollow mounting structure is preferred
• Use all mounting bolts
• Bolts of recommended strength should be used
• Minimum strength of attached structure >72500 psi
Very different mounting structure solutions can be used, depending
upon maximum load and application. If a hollow mounting structure
is intended flange thickness should be at least 50% of the overall
Slewing Ring height. The thickness of the hollow mounting structure
should be about 1/3 of the flange thickness. For weight-critical
applications, flange thickness can only be reduced if appropriate
stiffening ribs are provided and specifications on permissible flatness,
perpendicularity deviations and deformation under load are achieved.
Values on this are specified in the “Installation and Operating
Manual”.

The correct Slewing Ring in 5 steps Example: New calculation:

Application: Crane operating in medium conditions
Step 4: Checking of bolt connection da = 70.945 inch
Step 1: Determining the load Load data:
Axial load Fax = 73000 lbs FaxD = Fax • So • fa = 73000 lbs • 1.25 • 1.1 = 100375 lbs
The first step is to determine the loads and rotational speeds. Here In the same limiting load diagram a check should also be made Radial load Frad = 10000 lbs
whether the load point is below the bolt curve. The load must FradD = (FradD + Fz/cos20°) • fa • So
it is necessary to consider both axial as well as radial loads and tilting Tilting moment Mk = 341000 ft-lbs

examination should be carried out with the equation on Page 42 Special requirements: = 341000 • 1.25 • 1.1 + 0.144 • 34235 • 70.945
Furthermore shock factors and the necessary safety factors must to check whether frictional contact is present. Internal toothed design, no special precision required. = 818622 ft-lbs
also be taken into account. Diameter range about 60 inch
Additional safety factor S0 = 1.1
Step 2: Determining the Size Limiting load diagram, Series 150
From the table of fa values, fa = 1.25 for medium duty cranes, 5250
One or the other series is better suited according to the application. from this you get: Pre-selection - Series 125,
To make the optimum choice the following table shall be used to Item 12-25 1455/1-03270 da = 57.205 inch

Step 3: Static checking of raceway
Using the static limiting load diagram a check must be made on
whether the existing forces including the safety factors to be used
do not exceed the permissible loads for the raceway.
The load, including the shock factors, the necessary safety factors
and the calculated radial load must be in the permissible zone of
the raceway curve and the expected rotational speeds must be
below the limit. If the load is above the curve then the next size up
or a stronger series must be selected. If the expected rotational
speed is above the limit then the next smaller size or another series
with higher limits must be selected.
The permissible tooth force fz max is 57101 lbs and is therefore
Step 5: Static checking of gearing
330 significantly above the existing tooth force Fz of 14000 lbs.
A check should be made using the maximum expected tooth force
The permissible rotational speed for this type is:
to see whether the gearing has been adequately dimensioned. If 220
