Slewing gear drives operate under extremely harsh conditions and there is often little space available for installation. Our robust and compact industrial gear unit solutions are precisely tailored for these kinds of applications.
Flexibly combinable and extremely durable: Industrial gear units for slewing gears
Slewing gear drives are required in a range of applications and require a gear unit to provide rotation torque as well as retaining loads. This predominantly relates to cranes (tower cranes and slewing cranes), bucket wheel excavators and stackers. When rotating the bucket wheel boom, the bucket wheel excavator transmits the impact loads that arise directly to the gear unit.
Our industrial planetary gear units and our industrial bevel gear units and bevel-helical gear units are ideal for these kinds of applications. They have extremely robust and compact housing that is able to handle a slewing gear drive's harsh operating conditions.
Our durable, powerful and flexible industrial gear unit solutions meet your requirements in every respect – the power rating as well as the installation. We provide all the important components of a slewing gear drive under one roof:
- Motor and motor scoop
- Brake between the motor and gear unit with torque limiter to prevent excessive loads
- Protective covers
- Primary gear unit (helical or bevel-helical)
- Planetary gear unit with pinion shaft and extended housing at the output
- Output pinion
