FGE3C Slewing Drive

FGE3C Slewing Drive Overview

The FGE3C Slewing Drive is a compact and reliable rotary drive designed for applications that require controlled rotation, high load capacity, and dependable positioning. Developed by YOJU, the FGE series combines enclosed housing, precision gear transmission, and durable sealing to support stable operation in demanding working environments.

YOJU integrates research and development, product design, manufacturing, and sales, providing slewing drive solutions for construction machinery, solar tracking systems, and AGV intelligent transportation applications. The FGE/FGA series is available in models from 3 to 25 inches, with multiple precision levels and customized configurations available for different equipment requirements.

Enclosed Design for Reliable Operation

The FGE3C Slewing Drive features an enclosed housing that helps protect internal transmission components from dust, moisture, and other external contaminants. Shaft sealing and lip seal structures provide an additional barrier against environmental exposure, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and helping maintain stable performance over extended operating periods.

This enclosed configuration makes the drive suitable for outdoor equipment and applications where reliable rotation is required under variable environmental conditions.

Hourglass Worm Gear Transmission

A key feature of the FGE/FGA series is its hourglass worm gear design. The optimized worm profile increases the contact area between the worm and gear, supporting smoother power transmission and improved load distribution. Greater gear contact can also contribute to longer service life and dependable performance during repeated rotational operations.

The self-locking gearset further helps prevent unintended reverse movement when the drive is not actively rotating, making the FGE3C suitable for applications where positioning stability and holding capability are important.

Flexible and Precise Configuration

The FGE3C Slewing Drive supports 360° continuous clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, allowing flexible integration into equipment requiring continuous or controlled rotary movement. Multiple accuracy levels are available, while customized configurations can be provided to meet specific application requirements.

Metric and British configurations are optional, and installation dimensions and input interfaces can be customized according to the equipment design. These options allow engineers to integrate the slewing drive into different mechanical structures without relying on a one-size-fits-all configuration.

FGE3C Performance Parameters

The FGE3C Slewing Drive provides a balanced combination of output torque, holding capability, and load capacity. Its main performance specifications include:

• Output Torque: 400 N·m / 296 lbf·ft

• Tilting Moment Torque: 1,100 N·m / 811 lbf·ft

• Holding Torque: 2,000 N·m / 1,475 lbf·ft

• Axial Load: 30 kN / 6,744 lbf

• Radial Load: 16.6 kN / 3,722 lbf

• Gear Ratio: 62:1

• Backlash: ≤0.2°

• Weight: 12 kg

The combination of a 62:1 gear ratio and low backlash makes the FGE3C suitable for applications that require controlled and repeatable rotation. Its 2,000 N·m holding torque also provides strong static load support for equipment that must remain securely positioned.

Applications of FGE3C Slewing Drive

The FGE3C Slewing Drive can be integrated into a wide range of rotary equipment. Typical applications include aerial working platforms, where controlled positioning is essential for safe and efficient operation. It is also suitable for high-accuracy rotating platforms that require stable movement and positioning.

For renewable energy equipment, the FGE series can be used in solar trackers to provide controlled angular movement for solar panel positioning. The drive is also applicable to welding positioners, where smooth rotation and reliable holding performance help support consistent workpiece positioning.
