CE Vertical Envelope Worm Gear Slew Drive For Solar Tracker
Envelope Worm Gear Slew Drive Description
Since the core component of the drive device adopts a slewing
bearing, it can simultaneously bear the effects of axial force,
radial force and tilting moment. Compared with traditional rotary
products, it has the characteristics of simple installation, easy
maintenance, and saving installation space to a greater extent.

Glossary of Key Paramaters
Tilting Moment Torque: This torque is the gravity load multiplied by distance between the
position of load and the center of slewing bearing. If the actual
torque is greater than the rated tilting moment torque, slewing
drive will be overturned.
Radial load: The load vertical to the axis of slewing bearing
Axial load: The load parallel to the axis of slewing bearing
Holding torque: It is the reverse torque.When the drive is rotating reversely, and
parts are not damaged,The maximum torque achieved is called holding
torque, it is also seen as broken torque.
Self-locking: Only when there is load, the slewing drive is not able to reverse
rotate and thus called self-locking.
