hi.
i want to design a structure for rotate this part about green axis.
can you seggest me a mechanism.
dimention of part:
9906 mm
2658 mm
cross section: 450*450 mm
weight:9000kg

SAEEDGH, have you any examples of similar structures moving as you want this one to do?

You haven't bothered to tell which way this axis is oriented relative to the gravity of the Earth.

Looking forward to a complete description of all the requirements and not just a couple that make it appear to be a problem that has no solution.
 
You must first decide how to support it in the desired orientation. (axis horizontal, vertical, at an angle?) That means identifying the bearing locations. You haven't given us enough information to know where any interferences are, etc.

After you have established some way to support it, then you can look at how to drive it.

Let's try this again , let's establish axis., y, x , and z. Z would be direction of the axis. Axis w would be rotating of the entire part. Are want to rotate ot move in the z axis?
 
I'll assume the green axis is horizontal.

  1. The center of mass appears offset from the green axis, so torque will vary over each rotation. You need to calculate how much.
  2. You need to select a drive and brake with suitable torque in both modes, and backlash that meets your needs.
  3. You need to decide if the thing is stiff enough for whatever on its own, or if it needs support to limit deflection.
  4. You need to design and attach a physical axle on both ends. Check for shear, bending and fatigue.
  5. You need to select appropriate bearings or rollers.
  6. You need to design and build supports.
Conceptually, it might look something like this, except scaled up. https://www.ljwelding.com/products/...djustable/4-ton-pipe-roller-hd2l-100hd2l-150/
