Precision-Engineered Solar Tracker Slew Drive with Wide Temperature
Range
Product Description
A slewing drive, also known as a slew drive or slew bearing drive,
is a mechanical component designed to facilitate controlled
rotation around a central axis. It is employed in various
applications where controlled and precise rotational movement is
crucial. Here is a detailed description of slewing drives:
1. Main Components
Housing: Slewing drives consist of a robust housing that contains
all the internal components. This housing is engineered to endure
heavy loads and harsh environmental conditions.
Central Axis (Worm Gear): At the core of the slewing drive is a
central axis, often referred to as the worm gear. It serves as the
pivot point for the rotational movement.
Gear Mechanism: The primary function of the slewing drive is to
convert rotary motion into angular motion. This is achieved through
a gear mechanism, typically composed of a worm screw and a ring
gear. The worm screw meshes with the teeth on the ring gear,
enabling controlled rotation.
Drive Motor: An external drive motor is usually attached to control
the rotation of the slewing drive. The motor provides the necessary
torque and power to rotate the load.
2. Bearings:
Slewing drives incorporate high-quality bearings, which provide
support and reduce friction. This allows for smooth and efficient
rotation. Some slewing drives feature multiple rows of bearings for
enhanced stability.
3. Seals and Lubrication:
To safeguard the internal components from dust, dirt, and moisture,
slewing drives are equipped with seals and gaskets. Proper
lubrication is essential to reduce wear and ensure long-term
reliability.
4. Mounting Flange:
Depending on the application, a mounting flange may be included to
attach the slewing drive securely to the surrounding structure.
5. Output Gear:
Some slewing drives have an output gear, which is connected to the
load that needs to be rotated. This gear can be customized to suit
the specific requirements of the application.
6. Features:
Slewing drives are known for their high load-bearing capacity,
compact design, precise positioning, and continuous 360-degree
rotation capability. They offer minimal backlash, high reliability,
and are versatile enough to handle both axial and radial loads.
7. Applications:
Slewing drives are used in a wide range of industries, including
solar tracking systems, wind turbines, construction equipment,
agricultural machinery, marine applications, material handling, and
many more.
8. Customization:
Slewing drives can be customized to meet specific application
requirements, including gear ratios, output torque, and mounting
configurations.
9. Environmental Resistance:
Many slewing drives are designed to withstand harsh environmental
conditions, such as extreme temperatures, moisture, and corrosive
environments.
Slewing drives are crucial components in industries where
controlled rotation and precise positioning are required. Their
versatility, durability, and ability to support heavy loads make
them valuable in various applications, contributing to the
efficiency and reliability of machinery and equipment.

Parametric Overview of Planetary Reducers
Planetary Reducer is a kind of gearbox that works by rotating
multiple gear wheels to reduce the speed and increase the torque.
This type of gearbox is widely virtually used in every walk of
life. The table below show the details of each model of the
planetary reducer, including rated output torque, holding torque,
tilting torque, axial load, radial load, ratio, efficiency,
precision, IP, working temperature, self-locking, and weight.
