Slewing drives

WGWEA Series                           (a true worm gear & worm shaft/ improved seals)

WGHSE Series                            (increased performance for modular transporters)

SGSD Series                              Spur Gear Slew Drives – made in the UK – ask for details!

 

Applications 

Slewing drives are designed for slow moving applications (2-3 rpm) such as:-

Truck mounted cranes
Access platforms
Turntables
Solar tracking devices
Satellite communication systems
Small wind turbines (yaw axis)
Materials handling devices
Turnover & assembly jigs

Due to the performance characteristics of worm gearing they are not suitable for high speed, continuous operation with long duty cycles. The SGSD systems will be better suited to this sort of application.

Dual axis drive,  high precision and zero backlash units will be imported for specific projects.

QCB can offer various electric and hydraulic motors and gearboxes to suit.
