01.92Construction
‘The swing ring is used as a connector with gears between the upper and undercarriage and allows the
uppercarriage to turn in all directions, 360°.
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.

10.10.01Function of swing ring
When working, the excavator’s uppercarriage has to absorb great stress and strain. 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

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)

1, Measuring the clearances
Max. clearance
To check the clearance, a gauge with magnetic stand is
needed for correct measurement.
Align the uppercarriage with the undercarriage. Attach
the gauge to the swing ring. as shown in fig. 1. Fill the
bucket, lift it and extend the attachment as far as
possible.
Set the dial on the gauge to zero.

‘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.
10.10022. 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.

01.903. 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
