FAQs:
  • What is the primary application of the VE7 double enveloping worm gear slew drive?
    The VE7 slew drive is primarily designed for single-axis solar panel tracking systems, as well as Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) applications like fresnel, heat tower, and parabolic systems.
  • Does the slew drive require adjustment or maintenance during installation?
    No, the clearance is pre-set by the manufacturer, and the unit is pre-filled with grease, so no adjustments are needed during installation. Grease refills are only required every 5 years.
  • How does the self-locking feature benefit solar tracking systems?
    The self-locking gear mechanism ensures the solar panels remain securely in position without drifting, eliminating the need for an additional brake and enhancing safety, especially in windy or unstable conditions.
  • What are the key performance parameters for the VE7 model?
    The VE7 model has a ratio of 57:1, a rated output torque of 1750 N.m, a tilting torque of 7000 N.m, a holding torque of 13200 N.m, axial load of 34 kN, radial load of 58 kN, 40% efficiency, precision ≤0.1°, self-locking capability, and weighs 32 kg.
