The swing ring is a single row, axial bearing race with a large diameter. To turn, the swing gear meshes with the inner gear of the swing ring and moves the uppercarriage.

These forces are transferred by the outer ring 1, which is mounted on the uppercarriage and the balls 3, to the inner ring 2, which is mounted to the undercarriage. Two seals 4 and 5 prevent dirt and dust from entering the swing ring. The swing ring is to be lubricated via a central lubrication line on the outer ring of the swing ring, The gear of the inner ring and pinion are lubricated via a grease packing on the swing gear pinion, see also section 9. The swing ring and grease packing in the swing gear has to be replaced and checked at certain intervals, see maintenance guide lines in section 3. DER Note: The swing ring must always be stored and transported in a horizontal position. Swing rings must be handled with care: shocks, impacts and distortion must be avoided during installation and transportation. The accident prevention regulations for excavators must be strictly observed when repairing the swing ring 1 Quterring Inner ring Ball Upper seal Lower seal Grease fittingGeneral Data Serial Litronic | Litronic | Litronic | Litronic | Litronic | Litronic Machine A/R900| A /R 902] A/R 912] A/R922| A/R 932 | R962 SIN 101 101 101 101 101 101 Clearances 06mm | 06mm} 0.6mm) 0.6mm | 06mm | 06mm At delivery 24mm | 21mm] 21mm] 21mm} 21mm | 2.1mm Max. axial play 14mm | 14mm | 14mm] 14mm} 14mm | 14mm Weight of uppercarriage 7800kg | 8100kg | 8900kg] 9300kg | 10900kg | 14000kg (without attachments) Torque for 10.9 screws 310Nm | 310Nm | 620Nm| 620Nm | 620Nm | 1060Nm DEE Note: Clearance at delivery is the maximum play @ new gear has when installed (measuring the clearance, see fig. 1). Max. axial play The maximum permissible play in the bearing indicates the maximum allowable play (wear). The swing ring can be used safely until the maximum play is reached. The swing ring does not have to be replaced if it still turns smoothly and without binding. The bearing does have to be replaced if its binds or is hard to turn, even before the maximum clearance is reached. However, itis necessary to continuously check the swing ring for smooth operation and binding (see fig. 1). Backlash Backlash is the play between the pinion and the new gear (See fig. 2) LIEBHERR DaturvEaition/Date 02.94 Benennung/Description/Dénomination Swing ring Typ Model Type See page 10. ‘Sub group index” ‘Abifrom/a parti de Blatt/Page/Feuille 10.10.02Check the tooth clearance between the ‘swing ring and swing gear teeth with a 1, Measuring the clearances Max. clearance To check the clearance, a gauge with magnetic stand is needed for correct measurement.

Set the dial on the gauge to zero. ‘the uppercarriage sli ‘The difference between the two measurements is the play of the swing ring. Additional measurements can and should be taken using the same procedure at various swing ring positions. ‘Measuring the backlash To measure the backlash, a strip of lead approximately 10 mm wide (.8"), 120 mm long (5") and 2 mm thick (.08") can be used. Park the machine on flat, level ground, release the swing lock and swing brake. Extend the attachments and liftit about 1 m (3°) off the ground. Place lead strip or wire horizontally in the center on both sides of one swing ring tooth. Slowly rotate the uppercarriage by pushing against the extended attachment. Remove the lead strip and measure as shown in exam- ple, see fig. 2 Example: Tooth-side A 1,00 mm Tooth- side B + 0,40 mm Backlash 140mm Note: ‘The backlash must be measured in the middle of the teeth, see drawing. 10.10022. Removing the swing ring To replace the swing ring, the upper carriage has to be lifted off the undercarriage with a lift or crane. Lifting and shoring material, such as chains, cables, slings, shackles and wood should be properly selected (see weight of upper carriage on page 10.10.02) Before lifting the uppercarriage with a crane, remove the attachment. When lifting the uppercarriage with a lift cylinder or jacks, as described in the following paragraph, the attachment is not removed from the machine Check the boom cylinder for leaks. Caution: Its not permitted or necessary for any person to be under the jacked up uppercarriage when the following procedure is followed ! 2.1. Park the machine with the uppercarriage turned by 90° on flat, solid ground . Fully extend the bucket or stick cylinder (retract the bucket or stick) and lower the attachment to the ground. 2.2. Mark and then plug and remove the lower air and hydraulic lines Catch the hydraulic oil in an appropriate container 2.3, Mark and then plug and remove the upper hydraulic lines 2.4. If necessary, disconnect the lube oil lines. 2.5 Remove mounting screws from the intermediate flange on the rotary connection to the undercarriage and lift the rotary connection from the undercarriage, see section 7 - Rotary Connection 2.6 Remove all but two (front and rear) of the outer swing gear screws 15 from the swing ring to the upper- carriage. 2.7, Erect a wooden platform 10 on both sides, position the hydraulic jacks under the counterweight. Remove the two outer screws 15 which remained in the swing gear. 2.8 Lift the uppercarriage on the front with boom cylinder approximately 60 to 80 mm (2 to 3"). Leave the cab, With hydraulic jacks 11, lift the uppercarriage evenly until the undercarriage is free, see fig. 4 and 5. To prevent the uppercarriage from sinking, additional wooden blocks must be inserted 2.9 Carefully pull the undercarriage out and remove the screws 15 from the undercarriage to the swing ring. Lift off the swing ring and set it down ona prepared surface Secure the uppercarriage with wooden blocks 17, see fig. 6. hyp. Mode!

Installation, see fig. 1-6 To assure proper wear and operation, the mounting surface must be clean and level. Burrs, rust and uneven spots must be carefully removed 3.1 Set the swing ring 14 onto the undercarriage, make sure it is seated correctly, see fig. 3. Tighten ‘the mounting screws 15 with a torque wrench according to the torque chart on page 10.10.02 ina 90" tightening sequence. Check the swing ring for easy moverient and lubricate the ball bearing via the grease fitting 3.2 Remove the wooden platform 17, pull the undercarriage carefully under the upper carriage and remove the wooden blocks 13 on the hydraulic jacks 11. Lower the uppercarriage slowly and evenly with the boom cylinders onto the swing ring. [EP Note : Turn the outer ring of the swing ring into the correct position, see fig. 3. The swing gear pinion has to mesh with the gear and the mounting holes have to be lined up with the ‘threads on the uppercarriage. 3.3 Insert the two outer screws 14 - rear and front - remove the hydraulic jacks 11 and/or wooden platform 10. 3.4 Install the remaining screws 15 and turn them in a 90° sequence with a torque wrench, see chart for torque values. 3.5 Set the rotary connection into the undercarriage and tighten screws. 3.6 Connect the air and hydraulic lines on top of the bottom of the rotary connection (check your ‘marks to assure correct hook up), 3.7 Connect the lubrication lines. 3.8 Start the Diesel engine, actuate all functions in the undercarriage and check the lines for leaks. 3.9 Replace the grease packing in the lubrication system on the swing gear pinion and lubricate the uppercarriage by turning the gear. Check lubrication. Check the swing ring for function and clearances, (see page 10.10.02, and fig. 1 and 2). DEP important! When installing a new swing ring, the old grease on the cap on the swing ring pinion must be carefully removed. The cap must initially be filled with MoS2 based grease. We suggest to use Mobiltac 81.Fig. 3 7 The 'S’ mark (hardening backlash = the beginning and end of track harde- ning) on the front of a swing ring tooth and plug in the outer ring should be in a 90° angle to the travel and the main working direction. 10 Wooden platform 13 Wooden blocks or dual T-carriers 11 Hydr. jack 14 Swing ring 12 Wooden blocks 15 Hexhead screw BennenungiDescription/Dénomination See page 10. ‘Sub group index LIEBHERR Swing ring ‘Abrtroma parti de Datum/Edition/Date BlatvPagerFeuile 01.92 0.10.04Fig. 5 101004
