Slewing Drive Market: By Product; By Load Type; By Diameter; By Application; By Geography - Forecast 2016-2021

Slewing drives are coaxial planetary gearboxes with two to four planetary stages. They drive large diameter bearings or gear rings through an output pinion. Slewing drives are made with short or long output shafts based on end-user needs. Slew drives are generally a special category of products. They have to be designed based on the exact need of the customer and also with respect to the operating environmental conditions of the applications. The one-piece case hardened and ground output shaft of slewing drive withstands highest loads and can be fitted with profile-corrected gearing. The optimal circumferential backlash of slew drive is adjusted through gearbox’s optional eccentricity.

Slewing drives have applications in a wide range of industrial equipment such as construction machinery mainly in hydraulic excavators and concrete pumps, cranes, material handling and recycling equipment, maritime applications, renewable energy generators such as wind turbines and in automotive industry.
