What is a slew drive ?

The slewing drive is a full-circle slewing reduction transmission mechanism that integrates a driving power source. It uses a slewing ring as a drive follower and a mechanism attachment. By attaching a driving part and a driving source to one of the inner and outer rings of the slewing ring And the cover, and the other ring is used as the driving follower and the connecting base of the driven working part. In this way, the slewing bearing itself is the characteristic of the full-circle slewing connector, and the driving power source and the main transmission are efficiently configured. The parts make it a general-purpose reduction transmission mechanism that integrates the functions of rotation, reduction and driving, but has simple structure, and is convenient to manufacture and maintain.
