Slew drives

Slew drives consists of ball bearings or roller bearings, worm gear and hydraulic/electric motor that can handle heavy rotational loads with very high torque/tilt torque. Together with our supplier IMO, we offer Bengtssons Maskin: Application support, Warehousing against contract and Assembly of hydraulic motors, brakes, sensors and gear motors.

 

Our slew drives from IMO are closed units, which means a high degree of reliability against external environmental influences and protects against both damage and lubricant loss, which gives longer durability and lower maintenance costs.

WD series

Slew drive series WD is intended for intermittent operation. The torque transmission takes place with a worm screw and worm wheel and is the product on the market that provides the highest torque transmission in relation to its size and weight. Slew drive series WD can be operated hydraulically and electrically.

SP series

Slew drive series SP (Spur Pinion) is intended for continuous operation. In the SP series, the torque transmission takes place with cylindrical gears and they are therefore not self-locking. In some applications, a brake may therefore be necessary.

Slew Drives/worm gear 

Our slew drives consists, as said, of ball bearings, worm gear and motor. These mechanical devices are used to transmit torque and rotation in various applications. Areas of use for slew drives spans a range of industries and applications. These devices are mainly used when there is a need to rotate or move a load in a circular or horizontal motion. Here are some examples of areas of use: 

  • Industrial applications: Slew drives are often used in industrial automation, material handling, machine tools, robotics and other process applications where there is a need to rotate large machine parts, manipulate heavy loads or change angular positions. 
  • Building and construction projects: Used in the building and construction industry slew drivesi applications such as tower cranes, excavators, lifting platforms and helipads. These devices enable precision and safety in lifting and rotating operations. 
  • Solar energy: Slew drives are important components in the solar industry and are used in solar trackers. Solar trackers follow the movement of the sun to maximize the amount of solar energy captured by the solar panels, and slew drives enables this movement by adjusting the angle and position of the panels. 

 

The functions by slew drives are designed to meet the requirements for robustness, durability and reliability. Key technical specifications may vary by manufacturer and application, but here are some common features and benefits: 

  • High load capacity: Slew drives are designed to handle heavy rotational loads and high torques. They can carry significant weight and withstand strong stresses during operation. 
  • Protection and sealing: Most slew drives are closed units, which gives a high degree of reliability against external environmental influences. This protects against dust, dirt, water and other contaminants that can affect the device's performance or lifespan. 
  • Low maintenance cost: The closed units also protect against lubricant loss and minimize the need for regular lubrication. This leads to longer durability and reduced maintenance costs in the long term. 
  • Flexibility and precision movement: Slew drives can deliver smooth and accurate rotation and adjust angular positions with high precision. This is particularly important in applications where precise control and positioning are required. 

 

One of the product series that we offer is the SP series. SP series of slew drives is designed to handle heavy rotational loads and high torques, offering a reliable and robust solution for a variety of applications. 

Another series to explore is the WD series. WD series of slew drives is specially developed to meet the requirements of various industries and applications. This series combines high load capacity with high precision and reliability. By using the WD series, you can get a powerful and versatile solution for your rotation and angle adjustment needs.
