W Series (Worm/Enclosed) Slew Drives
Single worm gear drives with enclosed housing for high torque and self-locking in outdoor/heavy-duty uses like solar trackers and cranes; includes upgrades like FWA (thinner, sealed) and WEA.
High‑performance W‑series worm (enclosed) slew drives deliver reliable, compact slewing motion for solar trackers, construction equipment, and industrial rotating platforms. The FWA, W, WD, WE, WEA, and WS variants combine rugged worm‑gear technology with sealed housings for long‑life operation in demanding environments.

Key benefits
- High torque density – compact design delivers strong static and dynamic torque for heavy‑duty slewing applications.
- Enclosed worm‑gear design – sealed housing protects gearing from dust, moisture, and debris, improving reliability and service life.
- Low maintenance – precision worm and slewing‑ring bearings reduce wear and lubrication intervals.
- All‑position operation – suitable for vertical and horizontal mounting, including solar‑tracker and crane‑type systems.
- Multiple mounting options – flange, foot, and custom configurations simplify integration into existing frames.
Typical applications
- Solar‑tracking systems (single‑axis and dual‑axis)
- Construction and material‑handling equipment
- Industrial rotating platforms and turntables
- Crane booms, aerial platforms, and work baskets
