A slew drive is a gearbox designed to handle radial or axial loads using high rotational torque. In addition, the
slewing ring bearing, at the heart of the drive, enables it to withstand high overhung or moment loads. A descendant of the “worm” screw,
slewing drives are present in construction machinery, manufacturing, military equipment and many other applications that require strength and precision.
