Turret Bearings

We can provide 3 possible solutions to original design problems -

• Problem: Original bearing pads expensive and can detach in bad weather allowing the bearing carrier to damage the bearing piste.

  Solution: Replacement pads at a fraction of the original price and with a centre retaining bolt arrangement.

• Problem: Lack of grease in bearings and bearing piste leading to scored and damaged piste and short bearing life.

  Solution: P.T.F.E. bearing pads resulting in low turning force requirement and no lubrication needed.

• Problem: Original bearing piste cannot be repaired by welding because it is 17/4PH stainless steel which requires heat treatment after welding.

  Solution: Replacement vertical and horizontal pistes from a weldable high strength stainless steel with similar mechanical strength to the 17/4 original.
