Vertically Mounted Worm Drive
Description
If you are looking for a perfect slewing drive solution for solar tracking, we recommend you the WVE series vertically mounted worm drive. This worm gear unit is specially designed for high torque working conditions. It adopts a vertical housing, a unique internal structure design, a large modulus worm, and the arc tooth surface. The superior performance and vertical installation mode makes the worm drive enjoy wide applications in the trough solar thermal power generation and other special industries.
Advantages
1. This series of vertically mounted worm drive is equipped with an optimally designed housing. The thickness is thinner and strength higher. Also, the adoption of vertical installation structure greatly simplifies structural design for customers.
2. The raceway and tooth surface have been subjected to heat treatment. This makes the gearbox more durable.
3. Compared with ordinary slewing drive, our worm drive adopts arc worm wheel tooth surface, so it can withstand larger axial force, radial force, and overturning moment.
4. With a professional R&D team, we are able to provide customers with a complete set of custom solutions.
Supply Capacity
If you have special requirements on the worm gearing, please tell us.
Application
The WVE series vertically mounted worm drive is widely used in various solar power generation systems, such as the solar photovoltaic system, concentrated solar power system, tower solar thermal power generation system, and trough solar thermal power generation system. It is also applied in the machinery field.
