Component Specifications

Definition
A mechanical component designed to provide a stable rotational axis for loading arms, allowing precise angular positioning and movement during material transfer operations. It consists of a housing, bearing assembly, shaft, and mounting interface that supports the arm's weight while minimizing friction and wear during rotation.
Working Principle
The pivot mount operates on the principle of rotational kinematics, using precision bearings to reduce friction between stationary and rotating elements. It transfers torque from the loading arm's drive mechanism while maintaining alignment and supporting radial/axial loads through a combination of bearing types (typically tapered roller or spherical bearings).
Materials
High-strength carbon steel (AISI 1045/4140) or stainless steel (316/304) for corrosive environments; Hardened to 45-55 HRC for wear surfaces; Zinc plating or powder coating for corrosion protection.
Technical Parameters
  • IP Rating IP65/IP67
  • Bore Diameter 50-200 mm
  • Load Capacity 500-5000 kg
  • Rotation Angle ±180°
  • Mounting Pattern ISO flange or custom bolt circle
  • Operating Temperature -20°C to +120°C
Standards
ISO 286-2, DIN 718-2, ISO 2768-mK
