The load distribution analysis is the foundation of carrying load capacity analysis

the drawing of static carrying load capacity curve

designing and selecting of slewing bearing. Firstly

the stat ic model of the bearing is established and the load distributions are solved at different loads. Then the characteristic of load distribution of bearing is analyzed

and also the influence of bearing parameters on load distribution is analyzed. Results show that the characteristics of load distributions on raceway are different at different loads. With the increase of contact angle and the decrease of the groove curvature radial coefficient

the loads on raceway decrease and the loadcarrying capacity of bearing increases.
