TWO ARE

BETTER
THAN ONE.
BPW turntables with double-row ball race
Robust, long-lasting and
cost-effective.
BPW turntables outshine conventional single-row systems thanks to
their high-quality double-row ball race, which guarantees optimum
distribution of the axial and radial forces that are produced. This
system has been proven over years of successful operation, and the
advantages in its design are evident in daily use in truck trailers,
semi-trailers, heavy-duty transporters and special vehicles. BPW
turntables are used in particular in applications where the vehicle
design places extremely high demands on the construction
and materials.

CONVINCING BENEFITS
— Outstanding quality is achieved with a special selection of materials and specific
manufacturing processes. The turntable profiles are cold-formed from
high-strength steel, butt-welded and calibrated. This means that they can also
be used under extreme conditions.
— The ball track is secured under load by the load-carrying balls.
— The interior has a labyrinth seal for long-term protection against dust and dirt.
— The corrosion-resistant paint (RAL 9005) is weather-resistant, impact-resistant and
guarantees a high level of surface protection with 504 hours of salt spray testing.
It can be used as an undercoat for subsequent painting.
— Together, all the benefits guarantee reliability, smooth running and an
outstanding life expectancy.

OPTIMUM TRANSMISSION OF FORCES

— BPW turntables have a row of load-carrying balls and a row of retaining balls
between the upper and lower ring.
— The axial loads acting on the turntable are transferred vertically by the large
load-carrying balls.
— The horizontal tension and compression forces are transferred by the smaller
retaining balls.
— The moment loads from the braking and centrifugal force are absorbed by the
load-carrying and retaining balls acting together.
— The retaining ball row links the upper and lower rings.
— The design principle ensures the greatest possible reliability as the axial and
radial forces that are exerted are transferred separately to the two rows of balls.
For an optimum connection.
CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION INFORMATION
— The permissible axial load (marked on the type plate) applies only in the
compression direction for vehicles with a speed of up to 105 km/h. For vehicles
with a speed of up to 30 km/h, the axial load is permitted to be 25% higher.
— To ensure reliable and safe operation, the supporting structure for the lower and
upper ring must be even, level and torsionally rigid. Unevenness on the supporting
surfaces must not exceed 1.5 mm. Greater irregularities must be evened out. The
supporting surface (at least four surface sections of the same size, spread evenly
around the circumference) must support at least 50% of the turntable flanges.
— After having been bolted in place, the turntable flanges must be additionally
secured against movement at the top and bottom with at least four weld-on plates
(shear blocks) so that the shear forces that occur are not absorbed solely by the
connecting bolts.
— We recommend the use of drilled turntables. If drilling work is performed at a later
time, drilling chips and coolant must not enter the ball tracks.
— Prior to commissioning, turntables must be filled with BPW ECO-Li 91 special
long-life grease (lithium complex grease) via the grease nipples.
— BPW turntables are not suitable for applications involving multiple rotations of
over 360°.
— BPW turntables are not designed for eccentric loads.
— Special applications must be agreed with us.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION FOR BOLTING

— The bolts should meet at least strength grade 8.8.
— Using bolts of strength grade 10.9 with a fine thread, HV washers and self-locking
nuts will delay possible loosening of the bolts.

MAINTENANCE
— Grease the turntable bearing via the grease nipples with BPW ECO-Li 91 special
long-life grease (lithium complex grease) every 25,000 km or at least every three
months (every two to three weeks in extreme operating conditions). Do not mix the
grease with other types of grease (calcium or sodium soap grease).
— Check all bolt connections regularly and retighten if necessary.
— No welding work may be performed on BPW turntables. During welding work on
the vehicle, the earth cable must be attached so that no power can flow through the
turntable.
