So the rollers need enough clearance to roll but not to tight not to loose . Hmmmm

Yes. When we adjusted hook rollers, we'd lay the boom straight out (sometimes with weight on it) to tilt house forward, then measure clearance at top of front rollers and at bottom of rear rollers. Since rollers are tapered, adding or removing shaft shims would push them toward or let them pull away from the center shaft, altering the clearance between roller and circle flange.

Nice work! I like seeing these scratch built projects come to life.

I had some free time over the weekend and I was able to the roof hatch on the crane housing done.






On a side note. I got the lathe running and bought a quick change tool post, so now all I need to get is some tooling and a drill chuck and center, and I will be able to start machining the swing ring.

I wish I had skills enough to do scratch built styrene work like that!

Roller clearance allows front rollers to contact on bottom flange and rear rollers on top flange, when lifting. If they are adjusted in too far, lack of clearance will prevent rollers from turning during house rotation.
Oops! My bad. I guess I've been away from it too long. Looking at my drawings I see I made provision for a center bearing.

Yes I have seen these , but I’m looking for more dimensions. And I thought Jared had a personal drawing of the turntable . Reading these engineer drawing is not for the faint of heart . Thanks Mike

Usually I enlarge or reduce these drawings to fit my use. The design is pretty much the same throughout the line of these machines.
I may be able to dig a little deeper in my books and find more on those rollers.

I took this drawing and used the measurements at the top and did some quick scaling to get the dimension for the swing ring. It should be accurate if the drawing is to scale, all you have to do is use a scale calculator to get the dimension for your model. I'm modeling to 1/14 scale, so 55 3/8" in 1/14 scale is 3.96"




I hope this helps you.

Thanks for this it does help . I was using my guesstimated size of 4 inches , so that was close to 3.96.

A small bit of progress on the crane. I made this service hatch, I don't know what it's supposed access on the real machine but it should come in handy to access the winch motors or a battery.
