Axial-radial bearing as a segment of connection between rotating platform and carrying structure

Abstract

The paper presents the connection of rotating platforms in building and transport machines depending on the type of driving mechanism. A special attention is paid to axial-radial bearings having big diameters made by prominent manufacturers. There are some necessary conditions which have to be met by supporting frames because working capacity of the bearings depends on them. Also, the law of distribution of load of moment of external forces is proposed because it provides identification of maximum load as a starting basis for further research on determination of optimal laws of distribution of acting forces which are caused by the moment of forces.
