Reliability

Kinematics slewing drives are designed and tested to guarantee a 30-year field life. All aspects of engineering control are based on creating a low-cost, reliable solution. Using the same methods and procedures that earned us our ISO 9001, CE, REACH, and TUV certifications, we qualify all the raw materials, components and final assemblies to meet these standards.

Our drives offer an IP66 rated enclosure that demonstrates complete protection from environmental particles such as dust, dirt, sand, and even water. Learn more about our testing equipment and procedures that allow us to provide a 30-year performance guarantee.

Performance

Kinematics slew drives are powered with patented hourglass worm technology to give maximum survivability load-holding as well as increased efficiency and accuracy. Unlike standard worms which touch only one tooth, our hourglass worm engages 5-11 teeth on the pitch line of the ring gear from the hourglass thread. This increased tooth engagement gives the gearbox enormous strength and power.

Applications

This style slewing drive is a maintenance free drive designed to reduce the cost of labor in the field while also offering greater protection to the drive with its IP66 rating. Common applications include solar trackers, satellite and radar dishes, clean room equipment, and marine applications.

Specifications

Our base model sizes deliver performance ranges from 38kNm to 48kNm of holding torque, 1,400Nm to 10kNm of output torque, 33kNm to 67kNm of tilting torque, and gearbox reduction ratios of 30:1 up to 156,600:1. It can be horizontally or vertically mounted.
