A carrying tower for a metallurgical vessel includes at least one carrying arm cantilevering from a non-rotatable carrying column and pivotable about the carrying column, which carrying arm carries at least one metallurgical vessel. A pivot bearing is provided between the carrying arm and the carrying column. In order to enable a simple check, maintenance and a quick removal of the pivot bearing with the carrying arm remaining on the carrying tower, a single pivot bearing accommodating axial and radial forces as well as tilting moments, with a lower-side shoulder of a first bearing race, rests on a supporting surface arranged on the upper end of the carrying column. The carrying arm is mounted so as to be suspended on a second bearing race of the pivot bearing. |
