Rotation unit and method of adjusting bearing clearance
The present disclosure relates to a rotation unit and method for adjusting bearing clearance. The rotation unit includes a shaft that is rotated around its longitudinal axis by a rotating motor. The shaft is supported to a body of the rotation unit by a bearing assembly. The rotation unit further includes an adjusting arrangement for generating pre-load for the bearing assembly and adjusting bearing clearance. The adjusting arrangement includes an axial adjusting space and at least one pair of half-elements arranged between axial adjusting surfaces limiting the adjusting space.

STRUCTURAL SUSPENSION OF RADIAL TURRET BEARINGS
A structural suspension of radial turret bearing wheels in a turret bearing comprises a rail support structure mounted on a turret bearing support structure, a circular rail mounted to the rail support structure, and a plurality of radial wheels running on the mainly vertical inner side of the rail.
The suspension includes a vertical flexible shaft, for each radial wheel, supported by an upper and lower support with a part of the shaft protruding with the radial wheel mounted close to the outer end.
The inner side of the rail is a frustum with the shortest radius at the top and an aperture of 2, and the outer mainly planar contacting surface of the wheel has an angle relative to the rotational axis of the wheel, and is overlaid with a convex curvature across the contacting surface.

Bearing assembly for pulley
A pulley assembly is disclosed herein that includes a shaft having a shaft length. A plurality of rolling elements are supported on a radially outer surface of the at least one shaft. In one aspect, the plurality of rolling elements are cylindrical rollers, the cylindrical rollers can each have a rolling element length and a rolling element diameter, and a ratio of the rolling element length to the rolling element diameter can be at least 1.0. A pulley is provided that surrounds the plurality of rolling elements, the pulley defines an outer raceway for the rolling elements, and the pulley defines a support surface configured to support a cable. A pair of washers are also arranged on axially opposite outer sides of the pulley and the rolling elements.
