Application situation

fs

fL

  On principle, the static maximum load that the slewing bearing support must be used as a computation value, which must include additional load and test load.

Not included in the application in the table, the static safety factor fs can be selected by reference to the similar working conditions and applications in the table.
*)Rotation upward crane

Mf=Reverse overturning moment on empty load

M= The overturning moment of maximum amplitude is used for the application static safety coefficient fs to take 1.45, because of the high average load and heavy working conditions, it is preferable to choose the multi-row rolling slewing bearing.

In these applications, the working conditions vary considerably, such as the rotary support used for the non-regular rotation, only the static check. For the rotary support used in continuous rotation and intermittent rotation, dynamic life calculation is required.

Note: fL is the dynamic safety factor. It must be used in combination with dynamic load curve. It comes from experience and experimentation. It is a reference value based on maximum working load.

The calculation method of maximum load is recommended as follows:

Before choosing the rotary support, the static safety factor fs that should be considered for the host should be determined, which can be found in schedule 1. Portal crane:fs=1.45

When the maximum static load is known, the calculation formula of its load is as follows:

1) the maximum working load of an eight-level wind force

axial force Fa = Q + A + O + G

overturning moment M = Q × lmax + A × amax + W × r – O × o – G × g

2)Regardless of wind force, consider the load of 25% test load

axial force  Fa = 1.25 × Q + A + O + G

overturning moment M = 1.25 × Q × lmax + A × amax – O × o – G ×

Example: the working load and amplitude of a clamshell port are known as follows:

Q = 260 kN lmax = 23 m     1max=23m

A = 75 kN amax = 11 m     amax=11m

O = 450 kN o = 0.75 m       o=0.75m

G = 900 kN g = 3 m          g=3m

W = 27 kN r = 6.5 m1)         r=6.5m

Maximum working load of wind power at level 8

Fa = Q + A + O + G

=260 + 75 + 450 + 900

=1685 kN

M = Q×lmax + A×amax + W×r – O × o – G× g

=260 × 23 + 75 × 11 + 27 ×6.5×450 ×0.75×900 × 3

= 3943 kNm

2) regardless of wind force, consider the maximum working load of 25% test load

Fa = 1.25×Q + A + O + G

=325 +75 +450 +900

= 1750kN

M = 1.25×Q×lmax + A×amax – O×o – G×g

= 325 × 23 + 75 × 11×45 × 0.75×900 × 3

= 5566.3 kNm

3)maximum working load regardless of wind force

Fa = 1685 kN

M = Q×lmax + A×amax – O×o – G×g

= 260 × 23 + 75 × 11×450 × 0.75×900 × 3

= 3767.5 kNm

Load condition 2 is used as the working load of static calculation

According to schedule 1, the portal crane (grab bucket) should be supported by three rows of roller-type rotary support:

The static reference load of rotary support is:

Fa' = 1750 kN × 1.45 = 2537.5 kN  M'= 5566.3 kNm × 1.45 = 8071.1 kNm

The calculation load of bolt is:

Fa = 1750 kN       M = 5566.3 kNm

According to the above calculation results, the selection of the bearing capacity curve can be determined to select the rotary support of 13*.45.2000.002

The above description is the detailed calculation method of slewing bearing size. According to the calculation results, you can choose the suitable slewing bearing model in our product catalog.
