Product Overview

Series capability and selection context

JSH hydraulic slewing drives combine hydraulic motor, planetary gearbox, brake and pinion output for cranes, drilling rigs and rotary systems.

01

Controlled rotary positioning

Designed for slewing and indexing duties where compact high-torque rotary output is required.

02

Brake and reducer matching

Reducer ratio, brake holding torque and motor displacement can be matched to the rotating structure.

03

Custom mounting envelope

Flange, bolt pattern, output interface and port direction can be matched from the installation drawing.

Selection Guide

Information used for preliminary selection

  • Required output torque: confirm continuous torque, peak torque and safety factor for wind load, boom load or eccentric load.
  • Slewing speed: define target rpm at the rotating structure and available hydraulic flow.
  • Ring gear interface: provide module, pressure angle, tooth number, pitch diameter and gear direction for the pinion output.
  • Hydraulic pressure and flow: confirm rated pressure, maximum pressure, pump flow and motor displacement preference.
  • Brake requirement: choose static holding brake, dynamic braking control or brake release pressure according to machine safety needs.
  • Mounting space: check flange size, pilot diameter, bolt circle, pinion position and installation orientation.
  • Control circuit: specify open circuit, closed circuit, counterbalance valve, relief valve or integrated distributor options.
  • Pinion gear module, tooth number, pressure angle and heat treatment according to the slewing ring.
