Frequently asked questions
Here are the most frequent asked questions.
What is slew drive?
Slew drive is complete ready-to-install unit of slewing ring for transfer of axial and radial forces as well as tilting in a enclosed steel housing.
How does slew drive work?
Slew drive's hydraulic motor rotates the screw and the screw rotates the slew ring.
What are the axial-, radial load and tilting moment?
Axial load is parallel to the axis of slewing ring.
Radial load means vertical load to the axis of slewing ring.Tilting moment is the load multiplied by the distance between the position of load and the center of slewing ring. If the torque generated by load and distance is greater than the rated tilting moment torque, slewing drive will be overturned.
What are the operating temperature limits for slew drives?
The operating temperature range for slew drives is between -30 to +60 degrees Celsius. Temperatures beyond this range can damage the components.
How often should slew drives be greased?
The recommended greasing interval depends on the application and ranges between 50 to 500 hours.
Are custom slew drives available?
Yes, MenSe Oy offers a variety of slew drives tailored to specific project needs, including custom orders. However, please note that custom orders may have longer delivery times.
How long slew drive warranty?
12 months. More specified warranty terms can be found here.
Where are deliveries sent from?
Deliveries are sent from Taavetti, Finland. MenSe Oy keeps standard MSE7 - MER21 models in stock. Other models may have longer delivery times.
What delivery methods do you use?
MenSe Oy uses DB Schenker for pallet deliveries. Most of the slew drives fits to 80 x 60cm pallet except MER21 needs EUR-pallet.
