FGE12 Slewing Drive
Enclosed hourglass-worm slewing drives with lip seal. An hourglass worm in an enclosed housing that protects the drive from wind, rain and harsh environments, for indoor and outdoor use. The face is sealed with a lip seal; for a better sealing arrangement, see the FGA Series with a cup seal.
