Apparatus for supporting a sheave assembly on a holding device

Abstract

An apparatus simplifying servicing and mounting of sheave assemblies, e.g., bearings, of cableways, to reduce the time required and to increase safety. The apparatus supports a sheave assembly, which includes a carrier unit, on a holding device and includes at least one holding recess on the holding device. The carrier unit includes a bearing part and a connecting recess provided in the bearing part. A connecting element is inserted through the connecting recess and through the at least one holding recess to pivotably support the carrier unit on the holding device via the connecting element. At least one securing element is arranged on the holding device to prevent relative movement between the securing element and the holding device radially to the axis of rotation. A securing recess is provided on the securing element and the bearing part of the carrier unit is at least partially arranged in the securing recess.
