Open the catalog to page 6Basic InformationSlew Drive mounting Slew Drives must be mounted according to the following instructions: The end shaft must be at the bottom. Otherwise the grease will not work properly. Slew Drives may be installed vertically and horizontally, but only when the angle between the slew and the horizontal plance angle is greater than 3 degrees. Horizontal installation with the base upwards Recommended installation if the Slew Drive is installed horizontally There is a risk of water ingress when used outdoors
Open the catalog to page 8Basic InformationStorage During storage, please, keep the slew drive packaging box in the specified direction and store it in a closed room to avoid moisture. While it's inside its packaging, the surface is corrosion-resistant and rust-proof, which can last for about 5 months. If it needs to be stored for a longer time, please take special protection measures. • After unpacking, two lifting rings can be fitted to the threaded holes in the slew drive outer ring for lifting and handling. The structure on which it will be mounted must meet certain requirements, considering a maximum flatness deviation....
Open the catalog to page 9Basic Information • It is recommended to apply thread-locking adhesive to the threaded connection. •The installation bolts should be tightened in a diagonal and crosswise pattern. Begin by tightening ail bolts diagonally to 30% of the specified torque, then repeat the process to 50%, and finally to 100% of the specified torque. • After the bolt is tightened, mark the bolts to facilitate future inspections for looseness. Tightening torque table for mounting bolts (for reference only): • During the installation process of the slew drive, the surface paint may become damaged. After the final assembly...
Open the catalog to page 10LubricationHow to grease your Slew Drive • Slew drives are supplied with the slew ring raceway, screw worm, and bearings pre-lubricated. They shall be greased again prior to initial operation and relubricated as needed based on working conditions. • In the event of abnormal noise or grease leakage during the use, stop the machine immediately to check and add grease. • Insufficient lubrication will shorten the service life of the slew drive, and may even cause the failure of the slew drive. • The recommended maintenance period, grease guantity, and grease type for the slew drive are as follows:...

Meanwhile, the spacers are placed between the balls to prevent friction between them, thus...
Open the catalog to page 14Slew Drive ModelsWhich of our Slew Drives fits you the most? The perfect solution for rotation and positioning in machinery, combining a worm gear with a slew ring. This Slew Drive version features a double row of balls, allowing it to support higher loads. The housing of these Slew Drives is reinforced to withstand more demanding applications. These Slew Drives feature a double worm gear, allowing them to achieve higher dynamic torque at the expense of rotational speed.
