Structure

What the structure gives you

Rotating the mounting face through 90 degrees lets the drive sit against a vertical structure. That is what elevation axes on trackers, lifts and platforms usually need, and it keeps the motor out of the working envelope.

  • Flange rotated for elevation-axis mounting
  • Motor stays outside the working envelope
  • Self-locking worm holds the elevation angle
  • Same sealing and grease system as the SE series
  • Spacer plates available for stack alignment

Typical equipment

Dual-axis trackers, lift columns, elevation platforms, antenna elevation axes.

Options you can add

  • IP66 sealing set
  • Spacer plate
  • Output encoder
  • Hand crank for manual positioning

Outside diameter, bore, mounting holes, gear module and the load case are enough for a quote. If you are replacing an existing ring, the old part number also works.
