Abstract
An apparatus and a method is disclosed for removal of a cardanically supported slide shoe of a slide shoe bearing which supports a rotary tube mill disposed within a slide ring. The apparatus includes two horizontal track joists supported on upright members and oriented parallel to the axis of rotation of the mill. Each track joist supports an end of the slide shoe which preferably has horizontal surfaces at its ends for cooperating with the track joists. The apparatus also includes a plurality of screw jacks disposed between each of the track joists and its respective upright support members. The screw jacks can be independently operated to raise the slide shoe free of its cardanic support, preferably a ball and socket-type of joint. A carriage means disposed between an end of the slide shoe and a respective track joist facilitates displacement of the slide shoe along the track joists.
