 With the capacity to handle extreme tilting moments, high output
torques, all in a compact design, the IMO WD-H Slew Drives are
especially suited as steering devices.

In addition, integrated position feedback sensors support computer

controlled steering systems.

Using IMO Slew Drives, cranes and special vehicles achieve unique
maneuvring capabilities including turning on the spot.

Steering Gears For Undercarriages

In concrete factories, large movable
gantry cranes displace heavy and
bulky prefabricated concrete. With
the Slew Drive WD-HC 0645, each
axle can be turned individually.
The steering torque required at the
maximum load while turning on the
spot is about 110,600 ft-lbs.

 Technical Information

• Axial loads can be “compressive“ or “suspended”. Sealing Torque Duty

• 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
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
must be checked regularly.
All catalog bolt data is valid only for “compressive” loads!
Fax
“Compressive” loads
Fax
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.
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 –4°F up to +158°F.
Selection criteria
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: Slew Drives of all series can be used with exception of
series WD-H. 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 10°
inclination angle to the vertical, otherwise smooth
operation cannot be guaranteed.
Slew Drives that are not self-locking can, as an option, be equipped
with a locking brake, if required (see optional attachments for details).
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.
The operating torque may not exceed the maximum torque specified Slew Drive series WDs are designed for intermittent duty. Application
in the Technical Data section, calculated with application service with continuous running or with higher rate of duty and
factor 1. Explanations of different torque specifications are as follows: 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.

prior to initial operation. It is essential to use the grease specified
on the delivery drawing. Suitable grease types for normal cases are
listed on Table 9.

Drawing reference number Valid for the following conditions:
- Output speed: n = 5.0 rpm
Gearing heat treatment - Repeated load
1: Normalized - Ambient temperature of 68°F

Raceway diameter [mm]

311, 411, 541, 641, 741, 841, Md B: Operation torque [ft-lbs]

Md nom: Nominal torque [ft-lbs] for SF = 1 and n = 5.0 rpm (see dimensions table)
L: Light series
If the following equation is met, the stress level Fatigue stress of tooth base needs to be considered
SP: Spur gear driven type of tooth base is below the endurance limit and however, if the following equation is met (if so, refer
fatigue is infinite: to below additional steps to verify life):

Verifying tooth base fatigue strength:

SP – H 0455 / 2 – 05910
Drawing reference number Valid for the following conditions:
- Output speed: n = 3.0 rpm
Gearing heat treatment - Repeated load
2: Quenched and tempered - Ambient temperature of 68°F

Raceway diameter [mm]

455, 555, 655, 755, 855 and 955 mm Md B: Operation torque [ft-lbs]
Md nom: Nominal torque [ft-lbs] for SF = 1 and n = 3.0 rpm (see dimensions table)
H: Heavy series

SP: Spur gear driven typ

If the following equation is met, the stress level Fatigue stress of tooth base needs to be considered
of tooth base is below the endurance limit and however, if the following equation is met (if so, refer
fatigue is infinite: to below additional steps to verify life):

For custom configurations, we also supply material certificates according
to EN 10204-3.1. B. This certificate logs the actual values of material
characteristics such as tensile strength, apparent yielding point, notched
bar impact work, extension and chemical analysis.
Material tests are
performed according
to the latest industry
recognized methods
(i.e. ultrasonic testing-
developed by the
Fraunhofer Institute).

Assurance
EN ISO 9001:2000 certified
Quality
 We want
you to be
satisfied!
IMO Slew Drives have to meet the
highest quality requirements
because they are often used as
safety critical components.
Assurance

Development, design, calculation

and sales are performed strictly
EN ISO 9001:2000 certified

according to EN ISO 9001:2000

certified procedures.
Quality

The quality chain starts with the choice of the

raw material (i.e. for the production of seamless
rolled rings of the SP-series) and is continuous,
including the ongoing testing of the current
production series.
