Left and right trunnions (501 'and 502') are respectively arranged at two sides of the swing cylinder body 5 'to be connected with an oil inlet structure, and if the concentricity of the left and right trunnions cannot be well made, the swing cylinder body in the structure can cause serious abrasion between the trunnions and the end cover 3' when the rotating speed of the swing cylinder body is high, so that the lifting of the rotating speed is limited. In addition, since the rollers of the radial roller bearing 13' have gaps therebetween, the positions of the rollers cannot be always fixed, which limits the increase in the rotational speed and causes heat generation due to wear.
