Abstract
A load structure for testing a loadability of a large bearing includes a housing, a force-transmitting structure configured to generate a force or a moment relative to the housing and to transmit the force or the moment to a bearing ring of the large bearing, and a force-receiving element connected to the housing and configured to contact a counter ring of the large bearing. The housing is configured to support the counter ring indirectly via the force-receiving element such that the transmitted force or moment is transmitted to the housing at least partially via the counter ring and the force-receiving element, and a material of the force-receiving element has a higher degree of hardness than a material of the housing. Also a method of load testing a bearing.
