Introduction
The report will represent a brief generally definition of slewing bearing, and also it will illustrate the current
statue, required actions and inspection bulletin for slewing bearings (Ball race-I) of lime stone blending
system central Colum.
a- Slewing bearing :
1- What the slewing bearing is?
Generally, slewing bearings are large-size rolling bearings that can accommodate axial, radial and
moment loads acting either singly or in combination and in any direction.
Slewing bearings were originally designed to be mounted only on horizontal support structures,
but can now be used successfully in vertical bearing arrangements. The forces and load distribution
in slewing bearings, when subjected to axial, radial and moment loads, are shown in Fig.1

Conclusion:
There was a critical situation on lime stone blending system where most of the slewing bearing
fastening bolts (Ball race-I) were loose, so the mechanical maintenance team gratefully take the
required action by retighten it with specified torque and pattern.
Note:
The fastening bolts grade should be 10.9 which have tightening torque 954 Nm according to
drawing, but the actual bolts grade were 8.8, so it has been retighten with 666 Nm according to
the slewing bearing manufacture manual.
