What is slewing drive？

Slewing drive is an integration of driving power source of the week rotary reducer drive mechanism, slewing drive rotary bearing as follower and adhesion mechanism of transmission through the rotary bearing inner and outer circle a circle on the initiative of the cover, driving source and shell, and the other a circle both as a follower, and the connection of the base as driven working parts, this article mainly introduces what is the slewing drive.

Here are the main points of the article:

1. What is slewing drive？

Slewing drive, it is a kind of integration of driving power source of the week rotary reducer drive mechanism, slewing drive rotary bearing as follower and adhesion mechanism of transmission through the rotary bearing inner and outer circle a circle on the initiative of the cover, driving source and shell, and the other a circle both as a follower, and the connection of the base as driven working parts, so using the rotary bearing itself is the week characteristics of rotary joints, efficient allocation of driving power source and the main transmission parts, make it become a kind of integrating rotary, slow down and drive function and structure is simple,Easy to manufacture and maintain the general - purpose gear reducer. Slewing drive is a highly integrated the week rotary retarding mechanism, slewing drive is more than that, the characteristics of maximum and minimum of slewing drive and can be driven part load gap several times, but their size and axial size difference is not big, especially the transmission chain so that it is beneficial to the structure of serial transmission connection parts flat, making the whole machinery and equipment also is able to narrow. In addition, whether it is gear or worm slewing drive, the size difference between the main and driven parts is very large, so it is easier to achieve a large transmission ratio of transmission, which is not easy to do in many other types of variable speed transmission mechanism.

2. Applications of slewing drive

Slewing drive can be used in any situation where full cycle rotation is required and variable speed is required.  slewing drive is the best solution when it is necessary to realize the power transmission of large torque, the transmission of high precision movement, or the selection of mechanism with high requirements of compact structure.

More common applications are generally the whole week rotary structure of the engineering and construction machinery and solar energy, wind energy and all kinds of automatic tracking mechanical aspects of the operation for a long time, because the structure is compact, short transmission chain, slewing drive are more likely to achieve higher precision and easier to digital control, so, also have many applications in the field of industrial robot.

3. Technology outlook for slewing drive

Full weeks rotary transmission is a kind of traditional mature technology, but the slewing drive as an integrated structure is more novel, increased integration not only brings many advantages on application, also create a lot of convenience for manufacture and use, but how to improve the accuracy of this structure, durability, and further extend its use area is the design, manufacture and the user needs to fumble ceaselessly in practice, improvement and development of the important tasks.
