1. Slewing bearing

Slewing bearing

The slewing bearing is a critical load-bearing component that enables relative rotation between machine parts while simultaneously handling axial, radial, and overturning moment forces. Its compact and lightweight design, made from high-strength alloy steel, ensures smooth operation with high precision (±0.05° rotation accuracy) and long service life. Key configurations include mounting bolt holes, optional internal/external gears, lubrication ports, and sealing systems for enhanced reliability. With a diameter range of 300–5000mm and load capacity up to 50,000kN, it is widely used in construction machinery, wind turbines, cranes, and military equipment. Custom designs are available for specialized applications.

  1. Gear

1). Reverse gear

Gear-2

Generally, the turning angle of the turning gear is 0 °to  90 °. The function of displacement is achieved by turning the table.

2). Reverse gear

Reverse Gear-1

Reverse Gear

Gear-1

Gears are toothed mechanical components that transmit torque through meshing engagement with other gear elements like racks, worms or additional gears, enabling precise control over power transmission by modifying speed/torque ratios, redirecting motion paths, and converting motion types (e.g., rotary to linear). Their interlocking teeth design provides reliable force transfer while allowing for customizable mechanical advantage in various industrial applications.

3.Reducer

Reducer

Gear reducers are mechanical power transmission devices that utilize precision gear systems to reduce input speed while proportionally increasing output torque, with the output torque being the product of motor torque and gear ratio (without exceeding the reducer’s rated capacity). These systems simultaneously decrease load inertia by the square of the reduction ratio, enabling optimized power conversion for various industrial applications through efficient gear engagement.

Our 3-ton welding positioner delivers precision performance for rotary welding applications, requiring proper care to maintain optimal functionality. Daily maintenance includes welding slag removal, lubrication checks, and electrical safety inspections to ensure smooth operation. Monthly procedures involve bolt tightening, transmission mechanism evaluation, and safety function tests. Annual deep maintenance requires worn parts replacement, complete re-lubrication, and system recalibration to preserve ±0.5° positioning accuracy.

Critical Maintenance Benefits:
✓ 30% extended equipment lifespan compared to standard models
✓ 50% reduction in unplanned downtime through proactive care
✓ Consistent welding precision for pipe fabrication and structural welding

This CE-certified positioner features:

  • 3-ton load capacity for small-to-medium workpiece handling

  • Dual-axis control for complex welding positioning

  • IP54-rated components resistant to welding spatter and dust

Warning Indicators Requiring Immediate Shutdown:

  1. Abnormal grinding/knocking noises

  2. Irregular rotation patterns

  3. Servo motor overheating

As a leader in welding automation technology, WUXI ABK provides:

  • ASME-compliant positioner designs

  • Robot-ready integration interfaces

  • 3-year warranty on precision gearboxes
