What Is a Slew Drive?

A slew drive is a highly engineered, compact power transmission component specifically designed to provide robust rotational movement. At its core, it is a fully integrated gearbox that masterfully combines a slewing bearing—capable of sustaining significant combined loads—with a worm gear reduction set. This unique configuration is engineered to handle high axial (thrust), radial (side), […]

Custom Slew Drives: A Complete Guide to Engineered Rotary Motion Solutions

A Custom Slew Drive is a compact, highly integrated mechanical system that provides precise, high-torque rotational movement. It is an all-in-one unit that combines a slewing bearing (a large-diameter rolling-element bearing) with a worm gear mechanism, a sealing system, and often a built-in motor and hydraulic or electric brakes. Unlike off-the-shelf models, a custom slew […]
