Kinematics Manufacturing, Inc. Slewing Drive LE Locking Absolute Positioner

Reliability Kinematics LE drives are tested for efficiency and durability to create the most cost-effective slewing solutions. Designed and manufactured with engineering control, our drives meet the standards set by ISO 9001, CE, REACH, and TUV certifications. All components and final assemblies are qualified to guarantee a 30-year field life. Performance Kinematics slewing drives use a patented hourglass worm technology to provide more stability and consistent performance. Standard worms engage one tooth at a time as they move around the ring gear, while Kinematics hourglass worms engage 5 to 11 teeth at a time. Applications The LE slewing drive locks into position and does not allow movement once in place, making it extremely accurate under heavy loads. This drive maintains efficiency through a variety of applications and produces high ROI. The Kinematics LE drive is most commonly used in solar applications, particularly Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) applications, where it locks a small area into position so sunlight hits a certain point. The LE is also used in industrial machinery that needs to lock and unlock automatically and wind turbines that need to constantly face wind direction. Specifications Our base model sizes of the LE drives deliver performance ranges from 43,350Nm to 136,100Nm of holding torque, 2.240Nm to 24,010Nm of output torque, 33,900Nm to 271,164Nm of overturning moment load capacity, and gearbox reduction ratios of 30:1 up to 156,600:1. The mounting can be done horizontally, vertically or on a combination of multiple axes.
