Force rational design of integrated slewing drive

U-TRSM has a wealth of technical experience in the design and manufacture of slewing drives, and often encounters designs in which the base and other components are integrated into the slewing drive. In addition to the slewing drive itself, the integrated external parts (frame or base), we will generally carry out a reasonable stress analysis, including computer software simulation, reference to the experience of mature products, and make sample experiments in equal proportions, etc., in order to improve the overall force rationalization of the parts.

In terms of loading, it is important to make sure that the forces on the slewing drive are evenly distributed and that localized areas of excessive force are specially designed. When the external load has multiple parts or multiple stress points, they should be made as uniform as possible, and the uniform distribution of the load can effectively reduce the maximum load on the parts and improve the overall carrying capacity of the slewing drive. Dividing the concentrated force into several small concentrated forces or distributed force systems is a force structure that we often use.

Slewing drive to bear the load evenly distributed is the ideal state of operation, although in practice it is more difficult to realize, but there are several ways to make the load tends to be evenly distributed:

1. Improve the machining accuracy of the parts, the force uniformity of the parts is very sensitive to the error, so the higher the accuracy of the parts, the smaller the error will be, and the better the force will be.

2. Using elastic parts, when the external load has multiple support points, add springs and other similar elastic elements at the support to reduce the unevenness of the load.

3. Set the adjusting rings or gaskets, when the external load is supported by multiple parts, the gasket can be used to make the load of each part uniform.
