Slew Drive is a new type of slewing product, usually called slewing ring, which is usually composed of worm, slewing ring, housing, motor and other components. Since the core components are slewing bearings, they can simultaneously withstand axial forces, radial forces, and overturning moments. Compared with traditional rotary products, the new slewing drive features easy installation, easy maintenance and a greater degree of installation space.

Slew Drive are widely used in PV,CPV,STP solar tracking systems and construction applications including truck cranes, manlifts, turntables, port machinery, modular vehicles, small wind power systems and satellite communications.

Description

Worm gear slewing drives are the most cost-effective and optimum solutions for single axis PV trackers. They are designed, tested, and guaranteed for accuracy and performance for a 30-year field life time. 

Compared with fixed PV trackers which could produce the highest levels of energy only when the sun is at the optimum angle to the panel, the PV trackers could be directly towards the sun from sunrise to sunset. 

Customized Services

1. Special design based on different applications and projects
2. Different types of motors could be matched, such as hydraulic motors, stepper motors, electrical motors etc. 
3. Different colors are available based on RAL code; Our standard color is RAL 7040. 

Advantages

1. Rotation ±180°
2. Connection of a driving motor from the left or right side
3. During installation, it is not necessary to adjust the gearing clearance; This is already set by the producer before factory
4. Simple installation and low maintenance
5. Rational space utilization
6. The gear is self-locking; Therefore a brake is not necessary
7. Easy and fluent method of starting and stopping
