Pöördemootorid

Pöördemootorid, commonly known as slewing drives, are integrated units designed to provide precise rotational motion. They typically consist of a gear, a worm, and a bearing, all housed within a robust casing. This compact design allows them to handle high torque loads and maintain accurate positioning, making them ideal for applications requiring controlled rotation. The worm gear mechanism is a key feature, enabling high gear ratios and self-locking capabilities, which prevents external forces from back-driving the motor. This self-locking property is crucial for applications where the load must be held in a specific position without continuous power input.

The primary function of a pöördemootor is to convert rotational or linear input into a controlled, high-torque output rotation. This is achieved through the interaction of the worm and the worm wheel, which is often integrated into a slewing ring bearing. The bearing itself provides the support and rotational interface, while the worm and worm wheel assembly provides the mechanical advantage and control. This combination allows for smooth, precise, and powerful slewing movements.

Pöördemootorid find application in a wide array of industries. They are commonly used in solar tracking systems, where they precisely orient solar panels towards the sun to maximize energy capture. In construction and heavy machinery, they are employed in cranes, excavators, and aerial work platforms for boom rotation and turret movement. Other applications include robotic arms, antenna positioning, and industrial automation equipment where accurate and powerful rotational control is essential. Their robustness, reliability, and integrated design make them a preferred choice for demanding slewing applications.
