Abstract
A slewing bearing for vertical structural support, including a first bearing ring, a second bearing ring and at least one row of rolling elements arranged between the first and second bearing rings. The first or second bearing ring is provided with a gear for receiving the drive of an input torque, and the gear is provided axially thereunder with a lubricant collecting member for keeping the lubricant. A rotary support device is provided for supporting in a vertical structure. The device provides a first member that supports substantially in a vertical direction, a second member that is substantially supported by the first member in the vertical direction, and the slewing bearing acting as a rotary support between the first and second members. The first member is fixedly connected to the first bearing ring and the second member is fixedly connected to the second bearing ring.
