The slewing bearing is the key load-bearing element, capable of handling radial, axial, and tilting moments. A worm gear mechanism is used to transmit the motor’s rotational motion to the slewing ring, providing high torque and a self-locking feature for enhanced safety. The electric motor powers the system, offering precise control over speed and position. Precision and Control: Electric slewing drives allow for fine-tuned, accurate positioning, making them ideal for applications such as solar tracking systems, where the panels need to follow the sun’s movement for maximum energy efficiency. Self-locking: The worm gear’s self-locking property ensures that the system remains in position even when power is off, providing additional safety, especially in critical applications like cranes. Durability and Low Maintenance: Thanks to the sealed housing and robust materials, electric slewing drives are highly durable, requiring minimal maintenance and offering long service life.
