| 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 gears. In addition, integrated position feedback sensors support computer controlled steering systems. |
Using IMO Slew Drives, cranes and special vehicles achieve unique manoeuvring capabilities including turning on the spot. | |
Sixteen IMO WD-H0490 Slew Drives on each side of this 80 m (262 ft) long special vehicle forms its steering system. Such vehicles have been used to move and place the concrete tracks of Shanghai`s magnetic suspension railway.
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 with the maximum load while turning on the spot is about 150,000 Nm (110,639 ft-lb).
