Imagine the pen is the kingpost and the cap is the revolving superstructure. The cap
cannot detach from the pen because of the application of an overturning moment
and a vertical load. The bearings provide only a means of support for rotating the
cap about
the body of the pen.
This analogy translates into the patented mounting concept. With this design, the
structural and bearing functions are distinctly separate. A bearing failure cannot
result in separation of the superstructure from the stationary kingpost. The kingpost
mounts to the platform pedestal by welding.
An exclusive feature of the Seatrax design is the patented non-metallic upper and
lower bearing assemblies. These bearings will last several thousand hours with
minimum maintenance before replacement is necessary.
