EGE14 Series Slewing Drive

A slewing drive is a gearbox specially designed to handle high axial, radial, and tilt moment loads while providing high rotational output torque. In different applications, slewing drives can also be called worm gear slewing drives, slewing drives, turret bearings, worm drives, rotary units, and many other slewing product labels.Slewing drives are unique on the market due to their versatility. While slewing drives are standard in size and external dimensions, custom and customer-specific requirements can be followed in the early design stages. The worm gear input can be modified to accommodate different motor input shaft sizes according to application requirements. Cast iron or aluminum end caps are bolted to both sides of the worm shaft to press the gears into place. This prevents axial play and provides better backlash control.The standard orientation of the slewing drive is horizontal, allowing high axial loads and minimal radial loads. However, the vertical direction is widely distributed in different applications. The number of bolts and their distribution on the slewing drive surface play an essential role in the load capacity of the slewing drive. Still, custom modifications can be made to fit/replace the current models used by our customers.

The Benefits of Using Slewing Drive Technology:

Slewing drives are a powerful and cost-effective alternative to traditional gearbox systems. Its advantages include:(1) High Power Density: While slewing rings are most commonly used to generate slewing rotation, slewing drive technology utilizes the capacity of its internal slewing ring while introducing a built-in drive through a worm gear. The worm gear design allows better speed and reduction ratio control than the standard slewing ring and pinion.(2) Space saving: Slewing drives can save a lot of space in the vertical plane, as no other gearbox is required for speed reduction.(3) Protecting Internal Components: In harsh environments, enclosed housing slewing drives protect internal components from debris and contamination with different sealing solutions.(4) Plug and Play: Once the slew drive is in place and connected to power, it can be integrated and installed into any system. This setting improves the corrective adjustments made to the older system.(5) Customizable: Slewing drives can be customized to suit their application, including multiple drive motors to double torque capacity.

Applications Field of Slewing Drive

Slewing drives can be found in many applications, including:— Construction Equipment.— Renewable energy solar trackers and wind turbines.— Turntable and Welding Positioner.— Packaging and packaging equipment.—  assembly line.—  Air platform.—  vacuum truck.—  public transport.Many of these applications are OEM.
