Function of Slew Drive

Slew drives comprise a highly robust Slewing Ring provided with
gear teeth (1), one or several toothed drive elements (2), a worm
gear in this case, seal (3), housing (4) and a hydraulic or an electric
drive (5). Slew Drives are designed for grease lubrication.
In a Slew Drive the rolling elements (6) carry the load between the
inner ring (7) and outer ring (8). The raceway systems capacity is
determined predominantly by Slewing Ring design, the depth of
hardening and the number and size of the rolling elements. Spacers
(9) separate the rolling elements and minimise friction and wear.
Load distribution
Depending on external load, the load distribution contact and the
angle around the rolling elements will vary.
4
3
7
In the case of axial load, all rolling elements are loaded in the same
direction.
In the case of radial load, a segment of the rolling elements
carries the load.
In the case of tilting moment load, a segment on one side and a
segment on the opposite side carry the load.
Mostly, a combination of axial, radial and tilting moment loads
occur.

Axial loads can be compressive or suspended.
A suspended axial load and the load on a rising segment in
tilting moments must be adequately resisted by mounting bolts.
Caution: Catalog bolt data is not valid in this case!
Fax
Sealing
Polymer seals protect the Slew Drive from normal dirt penetration,
dust and light sprayed water. For very dirty and wet environments,
the seals shall be protected with pre-mounted labyrinth seals on the
mounting structure.
Performance and reliability of a Slew Drive depend strongly on
avoiding ingress of contaminents to the interior of the unit.
Pressure washing must not be used to clean Slew Drives.
Operating temperature
Standard version IMO Slew Drives can be used in ambient
temperatures from 20C up to +70C.
Selection criteria
Fax
Suspended loads
Radial loads must be transmitted by means of frictional contact

between Slew Drive and the attached structure.
A good bolt connection is vital for satisfactory function of the
Slew Drive. Bolt connection and tilting clearance of a Slew Drive

The following criteria must be considered for the correct selection

of a Slew Drive.
Position of the output shaft

Vertical:
Slew Drives of all series can be used
(even with a self-locking gear).
Horizontal: All Slew Drives can be used with the exception of the
WD-H series and WD-L series sizes 0478 and 0625.
Here, it is necessary to use a Slew Drive with a 2-start
gear, since using gear with self-locking and external
driving force does not ensure smooth (jerk free)
operation.
Alternating: Slew Drives provided with self-locking gear cannot be
used. Using a Slew Drive of series WD-H with 1-start
gear without self-locking is possible only up to 5
inclination angle to the vertical, otherwise smooth
operation cannot be guaranteed.
Fax
Compressive loads
Gear
Slew Drives of series WD are designed with worm gear.
Slew Drives of series SP are designed with spur gear. Permissible
torque is specified in the Technical Information section.
Drive
Drive is provided by either an attached hydraulic or electric motor.
Both motor mountings as well as the shaft/hub connection conform
to industrial standards, hence hydraulic motors available on the
market can be mounted without difficulty.
For electric motors, corresponding adapter pieces are necessary. The
design specification for drive motors is undertaken by IMO, based
upon rotational speed and torque information provided by the
customer.
Housing
Housing is designed as a welded or cast component and adapted
to the size of the Slew Drive. As a standard feature, housings are
supplied with a priming paint.
36
Slew Drives that are not self-locking can, as an option, be equipped

with a locking brake, if required.
Loads
External forces such as axial load, radial load and tilting moment
must lie below the static limiting load curve, as regards their operating
load point. For this, please refer to the chapters Static capacity of
raceway and Mounting bolts.
Shocks, vibrations
To account for the peculiarities of different applications, the shock
factors for gears should be considered. Slew Drives of the series WD
are not suitable for applications under permanent vibration.
Back load
Keep in mind that in the case of series WD Slew Drives, due to the
high gear ratio, that in the case of back load (e.g. caused by boom
impacting on obstacle), there is danger of irreparable damage to
the worm gearbox, so long as the driving torque exceeds the
maximum permissible table values Md max.
Torque
The operating torque may not exceed the maximum torque specified
in the Technical Data section, calculated with application service
factor 1. Explanations of different torque specifications are as follows:
Series SP:
Maximum torque Md max:
Slew Drive series SP-H, SP-M:
Maximum torque is limited by maximum radial load of
the planetary gear-set used.
Duty
Slew Drive series WDs are designed for intermittent duty. Application
with continuous running or with higher rate of duty and
simultaneously high output torque are not permissible.
This would lead to unacceptable temperature increase in the gearing
and thus to premature failure of the Slew Drive.
Transmission of the maximum torque is to be limited to 10% of
each minute. Please check the diagram for the maximum permissible
duty per minute of the respective series on P. 49 and P. 59.
Static capacity of raceway

Slew Drive series SP-I:
The maximum torque is limited by the input torque of
the attached hydraulic motor and the strength of the
parallel key connection for a 25 mm shaft.
Nominal torque Md nom:
The nominal torque is calculated with a safety factor
against tooth base fatigue SF1, at the rotational output
speed specified in the Technical Data section, under oneway varying load.
Static capacity of the Slew Drive is determined by:

Hardening depth of the raceway
Number and size of the rolling elements
Slewing Ring design
Raceway geometry
The limiting load diagram shows permissible axial and tilting moment
loads for a respective size unit.
Every loading case including the required or recommended safety
must lie below the limiting load line.
Series WD:
Maximum torque Md max:
The calculation of the maximum torque with a safety
factor against tooth fracture SFS 1 is done according to
G. Niemann / H. Winter, Machine Elements, Band III, 1986,
for worm gears and is influenced by:
Limiting value of tooth base stress
Module
Gearing width
Nominal torque Md nom:

The nominal torque is calculated with a safety factor
against tooth wear of SF1,
at the output speed specified in the table
for a calculated service life of 10000 h
at a duty of 5%
For Slew Drives with two motors, the specified values are
valid for a slewing angle of 170.
Limiting load diagrams are valid under the following condition:

Static loading
Limiting load line with safety 1
Clamping length of bolts, minimum 5-times, maximum
10-times the bolt diameter
Continuous threads up to the bolt head is not permissible
Bolts of quality class 10.9

Maximum holding torque Mh:
The maximum holding torque determines which retroactive
torque can be transmitted or held without damage being
caused to the gearing. In general, the value of the
maximum torque is assumed.

Dynamic load Slew Drive capacity of mounting bolts
Friction torque
Mostly, static dimensioning of a mounting bolt is sufficient.

In cases where very high numbers of stress reversals act on the Slew
Drive, dynamic verification is necessary. For this, please contact our
Engineering Department.
The friction torque in Slew Drives depends upon many influence

factors, e.g.:
Rigidity and flatness of the mounting structure
Load and loading combination
Rotational speed and operating temperature
Design of Slew Drive
Number and frictional torque of seals
Lubrication grease and level of filling
Manufacturing tolerances

When radial loads act on the Slew Drive, it must be ensured that
these loads can be transmitted without shearing forces occurring
inside the bolts. Therefore, it must be determined whether the
radial load can be transmitted via frictional contact between the
mounting structure and the Slew Drive.

Application
At this point it can be verified in the limiting load diagram, whether

or not the pre-selected Slew Drive is statically adequate.
Prevailing loads must be safely transmitted. To ensure this, mounting

bolts should be sized to handle the raceway loading.
The bolt curve is depicted in the static limiting load diagram, subject
to the following conditions:
If the prevailing radial load exceeds the limit value, we request that
you contact our Engineering Department.
For Slew Drives with a different number or size of bolts in the inner
and outer ring, the permissible radial load is to be determined for
both rings. The smaller value is the limiting value.
Frictional contact prevails if Frad max is greater than the prevailing
radial load.

The friction torque for a Slew Drive under load can be determined
with the following equation, approximately:
When a customer desires that the mounting bolts be secured, we

recommend the following products (manufacturer specification is
valid):
Mw = 0.005 (4400 Mk + 4 DL Frad + DL Fax) + MwA
Application of Loctite 270 is suitable for the highest level of

connections. This prevents loosening and the threads are also sealed.
Nord lock
Caution: In the case of suspended loads, the bolts are subject to

additional tensional forces.
Please contact our Engineering Department.
Static load carrying capacity of mounting bolts
Other bolt securing systems are not recommended.
If the prevailing load case lies below the limiting load line in the
static limiting load diagram then the bolt connection is statically
adequately dimensioned.
MwA = 2.0
Securing the mounting bolts
Nord lock, self-locking washers, are recommended for cases of

vibration or dynamic loading cycles. Due to a pair of square tapered
washers with tapered surface gradients between both Nord-lock
securing washers greater than the gradient of the bolt threads, any
loosening tendency of the bolt is immediately prevented.
Determining the operation load level, both with and without radial
load, occurs along with the verification of the static load carrying
capacity of the raceway.
Slew Drive series WD-L, with preloaded Slew Drive
Slew Drives, series WD-H, are basically to be centralized.
Loctite
Quote the fulfillment of the conditions in the case of considering
the static load Slew Drive capacity of the raceway.
Bolts are appropriately tightened with a torque wrench
(bolt tightening factor A = 1.6). For tightening torques.
For Slew Drives with through holes, use the largest possible metric
bolts with regular threads.
DL2

Gear
Slew Drive series SP
Type of gear
Slew Drives series SP are provided with spur gear according to
DIN 3960, DIN 3962 and DIN 3967.
If higher torque is necessary or longer operating lifespan is required,
it is possible to manufacture the gear in tempered or hardened form.
Permissible torque
Corresponding data is available in the Technical Information section.
Drive pinion
The pinions used in different sizes are provided with hardened gear.
In the Technical Data section you will find data about transmission
ratios and numbers of teeth.
The drive pinion in direct drive units is supported by two radial
bearings integrated into the housing and the drive mount.
39
Tooth backlash
Tooth backlash is factory-set at the highest point of the gear. It
depends on the module of the gear and is calculated according to
the following formula:
Tooth backlash to be set = 0.03 to 0.04 module
Lifespan
The expected lifespan of the gear depends on the operating conditions.
The following factors are key:
Torque
Output speed
Duty factor
Ambient temperature, etc.
ATTENTION:
Slew Drives must not be cleaned with pressure washing
equipment. During pressure washing, large amounts of
pressurized water can penetrate into the Slew Drive through
the sealing gap and cannot be removed, even by massive regreasing. This will strongly reduce the usable lifespan of a
Slew Drive.
Lubrication
Mixing greases
Grease with different thickener and base oil should generally not
be mixed. The manufacturer should always confirm if different grease
types can be mixed.
Slew Drive series WD

Design of the gear
Slew Drive series WD is designed with a hardened worm gear
according to DIN 3960, DIN 3962 and DIN 3967,
Permissible torque
Corresponding data is provided in the published Technical Information
section.
Worm shaft
Worm shafts are made of hardened steel, with ground tooth flanks.
Tooth backlash
The tooth backlash is set at approx. 0.3 mm for Slew Drive series
WD.
Self-locking
Series SP Slew Drives
Series SP Slew Drives are not self-locking.
Series WD Slew Drives
Self-locking only exists in the case of series WD Slew Drives if it
cannot be driven from the output side. Self-locking is directly related
to the efficiency of the Slew Drive, which depends on very many
factors, e.g.
Lead angle
Angle of friction
Rotation speed
Lubrication
Material matching
Surface finish, etc.
Theory indicates self-locking occurs if the gear efficiency is < 50%.
Data in the Technical Data section conforms to this statement.
However, it is vital to determine the actual existence of the selflocking characteristics in the supplied Slew Drive individually during
actual usage.
We take no responsibility for conformity of the theoretical data in
the Technical Data section with the practically prevailing self-locking
or non-self-locking characteristics.
Shock coefficient
As for the applications in which impact is expected, the appropriate
impact coefficients must be considered when determining the Slew
Drives maximum torque rating.
40
To ensure flawless operation and long usable life, adequate and

regular lubrication is necessary. The grease fulfills the following
functions:
For the raceway:
Reduction of friction and wear in the rolling contacts
Corrosion protection
Lubrication of seals
Additional sealing effect of the grease collar
For the gears:
Smooth running
Less wear
Reduced operation noise
Longer operating life
Less heat development
Initial greasing
IMO Slew Drives are supplied pre-lubricated. High-quality lithiumcomplex grease, based on mineral oil, with EP-additives according
to DIN 51825, KP2P-20 is the standard lubrication.
Regreasing intervals
Regreasing must be done at regular intervals, depending on frequency
of use and ambient operating conditions. General attention must
be paid to ensure that the grease used during the greasing is
compatible with the sealing material. Special attention should be
paid to ensure that lubricating grease types originally specified are
used throughout the life of the unit.
Should you wish to use other types of grease, it must be verified
whether the grease is compatible with that used for initial greasing.
Please contact your grease manufacturer.
Please observe also the data in the Installation and Maintenance
Instructions chapter.
Beside regular regreasing during operation, it is also necessary to
grease the Slew Drive after long standstill periods. Equally important
is to grease the equipment in which the Slew Drive is integrated
after cleaning.
Shelf life of lubricants

Lubricants are subject to ageing even if unused. If after 3 years
grease is not yet used, it should be replaced.
Design of mounting structure

Safe transmission of application loads and reliable operation of Slew
Drives is achieved, along with other factors, through using adequately
designed mounting structures.
To ensure safe operation of Slew Drives, there are certain minimum
requirements to the mounting structure.
Sufficient rigidity (see Installation and Maintenance Instructions)
Maintain flatness according to Installation and Maintenance
Instructions
No hard points (e.g. through cross beams)
Surfaces for bolts must be machined plane
Hollow mounting structure is preferred
Use all mounting bolts
Bolts of recommended strength should be used
Minimum strength of attached structure 500 N/mm2
Very different mounting structure solutions can be used, depending
upon maximum load and application.
If hollow mounting structure is designated for attached structure,
flange thickness should be at least 50 % of Slew Drives overall
height. The thickness of the hollow mounting structure should be
about 30% of flange thickness. For weight-critical applications,
flange thickness can only be reduced if appropriate stiffening ribs
are provided and the specifications on permissible flatness and
perpendicularity deviations and deformation under load are upheld.
Values on this are specified in the
Installation and Maintenance Instructions.
Please follow the Installation and Maintenance Instructions.

Following the Installation and Maintenance Instructions is important
for the reliability and safety of our product and has considerable
influence on its service-life. The latest revision of the Installation
and Maintenance Instructions can be downloaded at www.imo.de.

1. Step: Selecting a suitable design (WD or SP)

Comparing product characteristics
WD design:
Exhibits high torque at low output speeds and transmits high
tilting moments, axial and radial loads
Attains highest capacity with smallest diameter configuration
Flat design, due to tangentially located drives
Provides high torque transmission (however, the duty must be
taken into consideration)
Self-locking and non-self-locking Slew Drives are available
Non-self-locking Slew Drives can be equipped with locking brakes
Consider the position of the output shaft when selecting the Slew
Drive
Not recommended in case of continuous vibrations and heavy
impact loading
SP design:
Enables higher output rotary speeds
Very narrow in size around the Slewing Ring, but the drive is
broad in axial direction
Offers a large, open internal diameter
Very suitable for upper structures with larger radial diameters
Basically not self-locking in design
Can be equipped with locking brakes
The position of output shaft is insignificant
Preferred design for vibration and impact loading applications
Typical applications:
Handling and automation equipment, packaging machines, tool
changers, grippers, construction machines, land and forestry machines,
etc.

Calculation of the operation load point:

Application service factor fa = 1.5 (special vehicles)
Raceway diameter for WD-L 0478/3-04904: DL = 478 mm (see product program overview / compare P. 4 and P. 5)
FaxD = Fax fa
FaxD = 100 kN 1.5 = 150 kN
Typical selection:
Worm gear driven types have proven themselves as steering
gears. Features such as high torque, low output rotary speed
with smaller assembly height and diameter clearly speak for the
application of WD design. The smallest assembly height of a
worm gear driven Slew Drive is provided by the WD-L series.
2. Step: Selecting a suitable design size in the limiting load

diagram for compressive load:
A suitable Slew Drive is selected iteratively. For a pre-selected Slew
Drive, (e.g. WD-L 0478/3-04904), an operation load point is calculated
depending on external loading, the application service factor and
the raceway diameter DL.
Loading is permissible for raceway and bolt connection, provided
that the operating point lies below the limiting load line of a preselected Slew Drive.
If the operation load point lies above the corresponding limiting load
line, a Slew Drive with higher power rating must be selected, for
which the limiting load line lies above the current operation load
line. For the newly selected size, the operation load point must be
calculated again and the permissibility of the new operation load
point must be verified against the limiting load line.
On the contrary, if the operating load point also lies below the limiting
load line of a smaller size, then, for this size, permissibility of the
newly calculated operating point can be verified within the limiting
load diagram.
This iterative approach is repeated until an optimally suitable size is
determined, by which the operation load point lies below the
corresponding limiting load line.

The operation load point lies below the limiting load line of the selected Slew Drive WD-L 0478/3-04904 and is permissible.
The operation load point of the selected Slew Drive lies above the limiting load line of the smaller size, which would not be permissible.
A Slew Drive that is larger than the selected Slew Drive WD-L 0478/3-04904 would not be the best solution from the economic
point of view.

Step 3: Static reliability verification of operation

Example:
Pre-conditions for the diagram of maximum permissible
duty per minute EDmax apply.
The following condition must be fulfilled:

Operating torque Md B maximum torque Md max
(see series overview WD-L P. 48)
Example: 13200 Nm 24288 Nm (condition fulfilled)
Duty per minute EDB = 33.3 % / min
Slew Drives WD-L 0419/3-04553, WD-L 0419/3-04684, WD-L 0478/3-04904 and WD-L 0625/3-06290 can statically transmit the operating
torque Md B.
Since the operation load points of series WD-L 0419/3-04553 and WD-L 0419/3-04684 lie above their limiting load lines (cf. Step 2),
the size WD-L 0478/3-04904 selected in Step 2 has to be selected. If the operating torque Md B is greater than 24288 Nm, then
WD-L 0625/3-06290 must be selected; in this example, however, WD-L 0625/3-06290 is not an economical solution.

Series WD-L
Series Overview
Due to the high gear ratio and the large surface contact between worm and worm gear, very high torque values can be
transmitted using very small sized Slew Drives (highest power density). Worm gear driven Slew Drives of the light series
WD-L are short-cycle drives for rotation and swiveling applications . Use in continuous rotation applications is not
permissible due to higher duty. The duty should be selected so that over-heating around the gearing contact cannot
occur. Diagram 2 exhibits the maximum permissible duty per minute, depending upon operation torque. When this
maximum permissible duty per minute EDmax is exceeded, the permissibility must be checked by the IMO Engineering
Department.
WD L 0156 / 3 07871

The following conditions apply when determining the maximum permissible duty per minute and when verifying the wear
characteristic of worm gearing:
- Output speed: n = 1.0 rpm
- Wear safety factor of worm gearing: SW = 1.3
- Observance of the maximum permissible duty EDmax (see diagram 2)
- Ambient temperature 20C

Series WD-H
Series Overview
Due to the high gear ratio and the large surface contact between worm and worm gear, very high torque values can be
transmitted using very small sized Slew Drives (highest power density). Worm gear driven Slew Drives of the heavy series,
WD-H, are short-cycle units for rotation and swiveling applications. Use in applications with continuous rotation is not
permissible, due to the higher duty. The duty is to be selected so that over-heating around the gearing contact cannot
occur. Diagram 2 exhibits maximum permissible duty per minute, depending upon operation torque. When this maximum
permissible duty per minute EDmax is exceeded, the permissibility must be checked by the IMO Engineering Department.
WD H 0146 / 3 00020
Drawing reference

Hardene
The following conditions apply when determining the maximum permissible duty per minute and when verifying the wear
characteristic of worm gearing:
- Wear safety factor of worm gearing: SW = 1.3
- Observance of the maximum permissible duty per minute EDmax (see diagram 2)
- Ambient temperature 20C
