Hardness gap
Fig. 19: Hardness gap marking
The hardness gap occurs with the raceway hardening and is
located between the end and the beginning of the hardening.
For the WD-L series the hardness gap must be arranged with an
offset by 90° relative to the main load-carrying zone. The hardness
gap is marked by a filling plug or a stamped "S".

Determine the main load-carrying zone.
The main load-carrying zone is that area of the slewing ring
that is subject to the highest load, taking all aggressive forces
and torques, and all occurring load cases into account.
