r: Wind Effect Distance with DTD (m)

Fa= Q + A + B + G
Me= (Q.lmax) + (A.a) – (G.g) – (B.b)

 

25 % Test Load Added:
Fa= (1,25.Q) + A + B + G
Me= (1,25.Q.lmax) + (A.a) – (G.g) – (B.b)

 

Wind Effect Added: 
Fa= Q + A + B + G
Me= (Q.lmax) + (A.a) + (W.r) – (G.g) – (B.b)

You can easily calculate the axial loads and tilting moments on the Slewing Rings using the above equations. It is suggested that you use the maximum load and maximum distance values in your calculations. You can include additional test load and wind effect if you wish.

When we place our results on the graph, we see that the Slewing Rings number “4” is suitable

 

SAFETY FACTOR (f):

Loads should be multiplied with the safety factor suitable to the application area prior to gear selection after calculations are completed.

As is stated in the figure, the black curve shows the strength curve of the dtd beds while the blue dotted line shows the strength curve of the bolts. The parts above these lines are not suited for dtd selection. The painted region is suited for bearing and bolt strengths. The intersection of the values you obtained from your calculations should certainly be in this region.
