    Azimuth Slew Bearing Vibration/Frequency Response

    Vgarzani, I am only thinking of doing some basic analysis (either FEA or manual calcs) to determine resonant frequencies to see if there are any resonances in the operational frequency spectrum - I'm sure that there are resonances. I agree that there are many variables that will affect the...

    Azimuth Slew Bearing Vibration/Frequency Response

    Alex, Sorry that I have not responded before now - rather busy with other stuff! Could you tell me what you mean by "sum of the equations before integration"? What should be integrated? Thanks a lot. Alasdair.

    Azimuth Slew Bearing Vibration/Frequency Response

    Alex, Do you have any further details about the pendulum calculation as I'm not sure what you mean? When you say to distribute the stiffness, do you mean that I simply divide it by the number of balls in the bearing? Thank you. Alasdair.

    Azimuth Slew Bearing Vibration/Frequency Response

    I have already posted this question on the "Bearing design, manufacture and maintenance Forum" -------------------------- I would be grateful to get some ideas for the simplest way to calculate the vibration/frequency response for an azimuth slew bearing. The bearing is quite a large...

    Azimuth Slew Bearing Vibration/Frequency Response

    I would be grateful to get some ideas for the simplest way to calculate the vibration/frequency response for an azimuth slew bearing. The bearing is quite a large slew bearing which has a payload of 155kg with a defined C of G wrt the bearing. The bearing has ball bearings in a wire race. The...
