ABSTRACT:
A machine of the dragline, shovel, or crane type having a body rotatably mounted upon a base with a padded live roller circle interposed between the body and base to facilitate rotation of the body. The roller circle includes flat, segmental upper and lower rails with resilient and compressible pads between the rail segments and the respective body and base, and a roller cage between the rails having rollers which are generally cylindrical and in bearing contact with the rails, the rail segment pads permitting movement of the segments to distribute local loads to adjacent rollers. The rails are clamped to the body and base by means of yieldable clamping means, and the cage is guided in its circular travel path by yieldable guide means.
