This document provides information on selecting slewing bearings, including:
1. Calculating loads on slewing bearings, accounting for static and dynamic loads. Loads include axial, radial, overturning moment, and turning moment.
2. Correction factors are applied to loads, including static and dynamic safety factors. Safety factors vary depending on the application.
3. A process is outlined for preliminary static type selection of slewing bearings which involves determining maximum static loads and applying static safety factors to select bearings based on bearing capacity curves.
4. Additional sections will cover installation/maintenance, product catalogues, and appendices.
