Double Reduction Slew Drive

Clean, Efficient Power

READY TO GET RID OF YOUR MESSY, HYDRAULIC SYSTEM?

Cone Drive has you covered with our double reduction slew drives. When using an electric motor (Servo or NEMA) to power a slewing drive, it is recommended to install a planetary gear as the primary reducer. This combination offers superior control, ease of integration into your systems, energy efficiency, and reduced maintenance.

Cone Drive stocks a family of adapters and shafts for the most common primary gearboxes, ensuring a quick turnaround and a one-stop solution for your double reduction slew drive needs.

Optimized Design for Enhanced Performance

At Cone Drive, we understand the importance of weight and performance optimization. That’s why our low-profile designs are engineered to be lightweight, without sacrificing performance.


Our slewing bearing’s large, open inner race diameter provides system design flexibility, allowing you to easily incorporate them into your current applications. Furthermore, our bearings can be seamlessly integrated into a slewing drive, taking advantage of Cone Drive’s extensive gearing expertise.

FAQ's

What type of grease do I use in my slew drive/bearing?
How often should I be greasing the drive/bearing?
Can I rotate the drive with the hex opposite the input shaft?

Yes, a hand wheel or hand drill can be used to rotate the drive via the hex on the worm.

Can we drive the slew with an AC/DC Motor?

Yes.

What is the max speed I can run the slew drives?

W-Series: 3 rpm max output speed; S-Series: 1 rpm max output speed

Do we offer special coatings for the slew drive/bearing?

Yes, additional corrosion protection options are available. Please contact ae@conedrive.com for more information.

What is the efficiency of a slew drive?

Typical slew drive efficiency is about 30%.

Do I need to use all the internal grease to grease bearing raceway?

Worm and raceway of slew drives should be greased per the IOM

Is there an optimal orientation to mount the slew drive?

Yes, when mounting the slew drive horizontally, it is always recommended to mount the drive with the housing on top and seals on bottom, when possible. When mounting vertically, it is recommended to mount in the worm over orientation

Can I mount my slew drive horiztontally with the housing on bottom and seals facing upward?

Yes, however a WEA or WEB version is recommended when mounting in this orientation for additional corrosion protection. Please contact ae@conedrive.com for more information.
