223 - 625 mm, 9 303 - 42 824 Nm | WD-L, WD-LA Series
Due to the high gear ratio and the large surface contact between worm and worm gear, very high torque values can be transmitted using very small sized Slew Drives (highest power density). Worm gear driven Slew Drives of the light series WD-L are short-cycle drives for rotation and swiveling applications. Use in continuous rotation applications is not permissible due to higher duty. The duty should be selected so that over-heating around the gearing contact cannot occur. Diagram 2 exhibits the maximum permissible duty per minute, depending upon operation torque. When this maximum permissible duty per minute EDmax ' is exceeded, the permissibility must be checked by the SOCARE Engineering Department.
