DSR Application Compendium

Introduction

Drive slew rings consist of a slew bearing, reduction gearing (worm or spur), housing, shaft bearings and a motor in an integrated package with a hollow output bore. The motor drives the input gear shaft which in turn drives the outer ring of slew bearing causing it to rotate. The outer ring is attached to a rotating flange while the inner ring of the drive slew ring slewing bearing is fixed to the stationary housing.

Function

• Designed to carry combined axial and radial loads as well as a tilting moment
• Horizontal or vertical mounts
• Dual axis versions available
• Dual drive versions to provide very high drive torque
• Electric (AC, DC, geared) or hydraulic motors

Application

• Solar tracking for dish/array/through sung tracking
• Industrial
• Cranes
• Wheel drive
• Winch drive
• Mining equipment (eg rock grab)
• Construction Machinery (eg crane slew)
• Welding Equipment (eg manipulator)
• Automation (eg robot rotation)

Features

• 11 frames sizes, 80 to 400mm worm centre distance
• Frane OD from 152mm to 845mm
• Rated max. torque from 400 to 150,000 Nm
• Rated static radial load from 16.6 to 945 kN
• Rated static axial load from 30 to 2360 kN
• Through bore
• Low profile design
• Open or fully sealed versions
