Horizontally Installed High Gear Ratio Slewing Bearing With Hydraulic Motors

A brief analysis of the four advantages of rotary reducer (slew drive)

Rotary reducer (slew drive) is mainly used in engineering construction machinery, as well as solar energy, wind energy and a variety of long-term operation of automatic tracking machinery, and even industrial robotics field. Rotary reducer mainly has the following four advantages:

1. The rotary reducer of the high integration

Rotary reducer is highly integrated, the largest and smallest rotary reducer can drive the machine with load gap dozens of times, but their size, especially the transmission chain axial size is not much different, this advantage facilitates the flattening of the structural form of the connected parts of the series drive, thus reducing the whole mechanical equipment.

2. Modular Rotary reducer

Due to the high integration of rotary reducer, the users do not have to form a rotating device for each part of the procurement and processing, to a certain extent also reduce the production of products at the beginning of the preparation process, thus greatly improving labor productivity.

3. The safety of rotary reducer

Worm drive has the characteristics of reverse self-locking, can achieve reverse self-locking, that is, only by the worm to drive the worm wheel. This characteristic makes the rotary reducer (slew drive) can be widely used in lifting, aerial work and other equipment, while improving the scientific and technological content of the host, but also improve the operation stability of the host and the safety factor of the operation. The Rotary reducer (slew drive) is easy to install, easy to maintain and saves installation space to a greater extent than traditional rotary products.

4. Simplified mainframe design of rotary reducer compared with traditional gear transmission

Worm gear can get a relatively large deceleration ratio, in some cases, it can save the mainframe parts for the host, thus reducing the procurement cost for customers, but also greatly reducing the host fault generation rate. As an integrated structure, the rotary reducer (slew drive) is relatively novel, and the improvement of integration not only brings many advantages in application, but also creates a lot of convenience for manufacture and use, and will be our key research direction in improving its precision, durability and further expanding its use field in the future.
