Description
FGE5 Slewing Drive Overview
The FGE5 Slewing Drive is a high-load rotary drive designed for equipment requiring stable rotation, strong holding capability, and precise positioning. As part of the YOJU FGE/FGA series, the FGE5 combines an enclosed housing, hour-glass worm transmission, self-locking gearset, and reliable shaft sealing to support long-term operation in demanding industrial environments.
The FGE series is available in models ranging from 3 to 25 inches, with multiple precision levels and customized configurations. This flexibility allows the FGE5 Slewing Drive to meet different mechanical design and installation requirements across construction machinery, solar tracking equipment, precision platforms, and other rotary applications.
Enclosed Housing and Sealing
The FGE5 Slewing Drive uses an enclosed housing to help prevent dust, water, and other contaminants from entering the internal drive components. The shaft sealing and lip seal structure provide additional protection around the rotating interface, helping reduce maintenance requirements during regular operation.
This sealed construction makes the FGE5 suitable for equipment operating in outdoor or challenging environments where protection against environmental contamination is important.
Hour-Glass Worm Gear Design
The FGE/FGA series incorporates an hour-glass worm that increases the contact area between the worm and gear. Greater gear contact helps distribute loads more effectively, supporting smoother transmission and longer working life.
The drive also features a self-locking gearset, which helps resist unwanted reverse movement when external loads are applied. This characteristic is particularly useful for lifting, positioning, and tracking equipment where the rotary mechanism needs to maintain its position when drive input stops.
Continuous Rotation and Flexible Installation
The FGE5 supports 360° continuous clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, providing flexible movement for rotary machinery and positioning equipment. Multiple accuracy levels are available and can be customized according to application requirements.
Both metric and British configurations can be supplied. Installation dimensions and input interfaces are also customizable, allowing the FGE5 to be adapted to different mechanical structures and drive arrangements. These options provide greater flexibility when integrating the slewing drive into new equipment or replacing an existing rotary drive.
FGE5 Performance Parameters
The FGE5 Slewing Drive is designed for applications requiring higher torque and load capacity. Its main performance specifications include:
-
Output Torque: 600 N·m / 433 lbf·ft
-
Tilting Moment Torque: 1,800 N·m / 1,328 lbf·ft
-
Holding Torque: 5,200 N·m / 3,837 lbf·ft
-
Axial Load: 76 kN / 17,084 lbf
-
Radial Load: 23 kN / 5,170 lbf
-
Gear Ratio: 62:1
-
Backlash: ≤0.2°
-
Weight: 16 kg
With a 5,200 N·m holding torque and 76 kN axial load capacity, the FGE5 is suited to rotary mechanisms that need substantial load support. Its ≤0.2° backlash specification also makes it appropriate for applications where controlled positioning and repeatable movement are important.
FGE5 Slewing Drive Applications
The FGE5 can be used in a variety of industrial and mobile equipment applications. For aerial working platforms, it provides controlled rotary movement for positioning equipment and working assemblies. Its high holding torque and self-locking design can support stable positioning under working loads.
The drive is also suitable for high-accuracy rotating platforms, where controlled angular movement and low backlash are important. In solar tracking applications, the FGE5 can provide the rotary motion required to adjust solar equipment toward the desired orientation.
For welding positioners, the FGE5 supports controlled workpiece rotation and stable positioning during welding operations. Its continuous clockwise and counterclockwise rotation makes it adaptable to different automated or semi-automated positioning requirements.
