SUBJECT: Swing circle pinion
PURPOSE: Wear check every 5000 Operating hours
APPLICATION: PC3000; PC4000; PC5500; PC8000
FAILURE CODE: 2518CA
DESCRIPTION:
All swing pinions are surface hardened to ensure a long service life.
If the depth of the wear reaches the hardening depth, the wear of the pinion will be rapid.
The increased tooth back-lash and the different tooth meshing, could decrease the service
life of the slew ring and the swing gear box(es).
By means of regular wear check , every 5000 operating hours, the depth of the wear
should be compared to the original shape.

If the depth of the wear reaches the hardening depth, the slew
pinion should be replaced, to ensure a proper function of the
machine.
