What is WEA slew drive?

Slewing drive is a gearbox that can safely bear radial and axial loads and transmit rotational torque. The rotation can be a single axis or multiple axes. The slew drive is made by manufacturing gears, bearings, seals, housings, motors and other auxiliary components and assembling them into the final gearbox. WEA series slewing drive, slewing drive is a new series of slewing bearings, also known as slewing reducer. It usually consists of a worm, a slewing bearing, a housing, a motor adapter, an end cover and other components. By adopting the slewing bearing as its core component, the slewing drive device can bear axial force, radial force and tilting moment at the same time. Compared with the SE series slew drive, the WEA series has better protection performance, greater transmission torque, better impact resistance and long service life. Due to its wide range of uses, slew drives have various models, performance ranges and installation characteristics. WEA slew drive is one of the series of slew drive.

This passage is going to talk about the followings of what is WEA slew drive:

(1) Description

Through the design of arc tooth structure, wea slew drive has better fatigue resistance and adhesion ability, which is suitable for heavy and medium speed applications. Wea series slew drive is the optimized and upgraded version of traditional wea series rotary actuator. It is thinner, has higher strength and fully sealed design and is suitable for outdoor use, which means that the wea rotary ring drive can prevent corrosion and damage caused by wind, sand and water. Generally speaking, the WEA series slew drive can meet the application requirements in the field or indoors with high humidity.

(2) Feature

Wea series slew drive is the optimized and upgraded version of traditional we series rotary actuator. Fully sealed design prevents corrosion and damage due to wind, sand and water. Features are thinner than the traditional version, higher strength and fully sealed design, suitable for the best outdoor use.

(3) Application

WEA series slew drives are widely used in the fields of relatively rotating parts such as machinery and solar energy. Solar tracking system, rotary chassis truck crane rock drill for aerial work machinery, drill wood grabber, code shaping machine. WEA series slewing bearings are usually designated as rotating parts for indoor and outdoor construction equipment and solar array systems. Some sample applications include:

Solar tracking power station, crane arm rotation, aerial work platform chassis rotation.

It uses proprietary materials and heat treatment process to grind cylindrical worm to achieve the ultimate gear life, advanced sealing performance and superior grease. It is suitable for humid, corrosive, heavy dust and easy debris environment. It can also be used in CSP and PV solar energy, aerial work platform, truck crane.

WEA series slewing bearings are usually designated as rotating parts for indoor and outdoor construction equipment and solar array systems. Some sample applications include:

Photovoltaic and solar thermal power generation tracking system, the aircraft chassis rotates, drives the boom of the truck crane to rotate, drives the sand grabber to rotate, the crane arm rotates, and the aerial platform chassis rotates.

Very versatile and practical, it is a good partner for your working machine.
