It is impressive, but it looks like a ring gear to me.

It’s a slewing ring bearing. They come in a variety of configurations, mounting flanges, gear teeth cut into the inner or outer ring, through holes for mounting, all depends on how they will be used. These are used a lot of applications, but construction and mining equipment are probably the biggest use cases.It is impressive, but it looks like a ring gear to me.
I claim the term is OK.What’s an @ss bearing?
I thought that they were able to recover a portion of the sub, but no more as it broke up as they were raising it from the sea bed. I vaguely recollect that they used flotation balloons alongside the hull.It sad to hear that the “mining operation” did go to plan.
Yep, when they lifted K129, the glomar Explorer's lifting mechanism had a failure and they lost 2/3 rd's of the sub. They pretty much only got hte bow section, but even that was an intelligence goldmine, including two nuclear tipped torpedoes....I thought that they were able to recover a portion of the sub, but no more as it broke up as they were raising it from the sea bed.

Those have Kingsbury bearings generally. They last a lot longer in that sort of application.Something like that I’d imagine it’s for water turbines for a dam or so. It looks like theirs two layers of rollers.
Right
