What are the characteristics of a Slewing driver?

The Slewing driver is a full circle slewing reduction transmission mechanism that integrates a driving power source. It uses the slewing support as the driving follower and mechanism attachment. By attaching the driving component, driving source, and cover to one of the inner and outer rings of the slewing support, the other ring is used as both the driving follower and the connecting base of the driven working component. This takes advantage of the characteristic that the slewing support itself is a full circle slewing connection, Efficient configuration of the driving power source and main transmission components makes it a universal reduction transmission mechanism that integrates rotation, deceleration, and driving functions, while also having a simple structure and convenient manufacturing and maintenance.

A Slewing driver is a type of reducer that uses a rotary bearing (commonly known as a rotary table) as the follower of the reducer. It can achieve unrestricted circumferential rotation and deceleration, and can withstand large axial, radial, and overturning forces. As shown in Figure 1, this type of reducer can be made into standard mechanical components and applied to various mechanical equipment with rotation requirements, especially with high accuracy The advantages of compact structure and large load-bearing capacity make it suitable for use in harsh working conditions.

How to distinguish the quality of Slewing drivers?

Slewing drivers are widely used in the mechanical industry, but to judge the quality of an item, it is necessary to examine various details.

  • Is the outer packaging of the Slewing driver clear

    In general, brands produced by legitimate manufacturers of double row tapered roller bearings have their own specialized design personnel for external packaging design, and arrange factories with qualified production conditions for production. Therefore, the packaging of products should be very clear and unambiguous from lines to color blocks.

  • Is the steel seal of the Slewing driver clear

    Each bearing product will have its brand name, label, etc. printed on its body. Although the font is very small, products produced by legitimate manufacturers use steel stamping technology for printing, and they are pressed before being overheated. Therefore, although the font is small, it is deeply concave and very clear. In general, the font of counterfeit products is not only blurry, but due to the rough printing technology, the font floats on the surface, and some can even be easily erased by hand or have severe hand marks.

  • Is there any noise from the Slewing driver

    Hold the inner sleeve of the bearing with your left hand, and gently rotate the outer sleeve with your right hand to listen for any noise during the bearing operation. Due to the outdated production conditions of most counterfeit products and the complete manual workshop operation, impurities such as dust and sand may inevitably be mixed into the bearing body during the production process. Therefore, there may be noise or unsmooth operation when the bearing rotates. This is the key to determining whether the product comes from a reputable manufacturer's branded product with strict production standards and machine operation.

  • Is the chamfer of the slewing bearing reducer even

    The so-called chamfer of bearings refers to the intersection between the horizontal and vertical surfaces. Due to production technology limitations, counterfeit bearing products are not handled satisfactorily at these edges and corners, which we can easily distinguish.

  • Packaging of Slewing driver bearings:

    The packaging is divided into inner packaging and outer packaging. After the bearings are manufactured and inspected to be qualified, they are cleaned and rust treated, and then placed in the inner packaging to achieve waterproof, moisture-proof, dustproof, impact resistant, maintain the quality and accuracy of the bearings, and facilitate use and sales.

Application range of slewing bearing

Because its structure mostly adopts enveloping worm and hard tooth surface gears, it can be applied in low speed and high torque situations; It is widely used by solar power generation tracking systems. Many manufacturers have developed gear structures for application in the engineering field, which can be applied in high rotational speeds.
