SW Rotation Drives w/Bearings
Perfection Gear
Industry leading Swing Drive design combines key features of standard Slewing Bearing and Drive systems into a unique “all-in-one-package”.
The SW swing drive incorporates the benefits of AT Style worm gear drives with an integral slewing ring. Its design eliminates the common “stick-slip” phenomenon often associated with traditional worm-on-slewing-ring systems. The SW system absorbs higher shock loads and overturning moments compared to traditional worm gear drives.
The patented SW all-in-one package is the best solution for aerial truck applications. It features pre-set backlash, a hydraulically driven input, and minimizes customer interface machining. SW swing drives are readily available in four standard sizes with other sizes available upon request. All SW products can be modified to customer specifications.
