Abstract: A slewing ring affording enhancement of dimensional stability with respect to the ring itself and any components attached thereto is provided. The ring includes an annular outer race and an annular inner race which is rotatably coupled to the outer race. The outer race and the inner race are arranged concentrically about a axis. At least one bearing is located between the outer race and the inner race. In addition, the inner race includes an annular upper member and an annular lower member, the upper member having a retaining segment that extends coaxially to the axis and the lower member having a U-shaped recess that is adapted to accept the retaining segment. The incorporation of the retaining segment in combination with the U-shaped recess affords for enhanced dimensional stability and accommodation of shearing or off-axis loading subjected to the slewing ring.
