JFB Series
Slewing Gearbox

A slewing drive made up of a planetary gearbox, multi-disc brake, hydraulic motor and distributor. 2- or 3-stage planetary gearing keeps it compact and space-saving, with an integrated multi-disc parking brake. Used in the slewing mechanisms of excavators, cranes, marine cargo handling gear and forestry equipment; the fitted motor and the ratio can be changed to suit your requirements.

Ratings: max. output torque is given separately for excavator and crane duty and is the same for all ratios of a size. The number after "i=" is the ratio; the order code states the actual total ratio and the motor model (see the model code below). JFB24 T2 and T3 share one set of data.
