what is a slew drive?

what is a slew drive? Slewing drive is a special slewing deceleration product derived from slewing bearing products with high integration and large reduction ratio, simple structure, convenient use and maintenance. The inner and outer rings realize the input and output of driving power respectively, so that the rotary drive can not only realize the 360-degree full-circle and endless return.
It can rotate, and the driving power source can be installed on the basis of the slewing bearing frame at the same time, so the transmission efficiency is high, and it is a new type of component in the mechanical transmission device.

Slewing drives operate in very harsh environments, and the space available for installation is often very small. We have designed a powerful and compact industrial gear unit solution specifically for this situation.

FH High Speed ​​Heavy Duty Slewing Drive Features:

• Output large torque under low speed conditions, can transmit comprehensive axial force, radial force and overturning moment
• High performance density ratio
• Self-locking performance or adding input brakes
• Small space ratio, easy installation and disassembly
• Diversified output forms
• Pre-adjust the gap value and install it directly on the machine
• Built-in butterfly spring reduces transmission clearance
• The worm gear can be configured as aluminum bronze material according to requirements to meet special working conditions
• IP65

Widely used in: vehicle-mounted or self-propelled aerial work platforms, tire straddle carriers, welding positioners, industrial robots, forklifts and forestry machinery attachments, etc.
