Abstract
A rotary connection for a work machine, such as a crane, includes a rotational axis, an inner bearing ring, an outer bearing ring and at least three bearing body ring arrangements arranged between the bearing rings with a plurality of respective bearing bodies. At least one of the bearing body ring arrangements is configured to at least partially withstand forces directed in the radial direction to the rotational axis. At least two of the bearing body ring arrangements are configured to at least partially withstand forces directed parallel to the rotational axis and are arranged adjacent to and spaced apart from one another along the rotational axis. The at least two bearing body ring arrangements are configured to at least partially withstand forces directed parallel to the rotational axis in each case establish a direction of action and are arranged spaced apart from one another along the direction of action.
