Conquering the World's Harshest Job Sites
Standard slewing drives fail within 6 months in offshore oil rigs or mining sites. Extreme-environment solutions require:
Specialized Engineering
-
Corrosion Defense:
-
HVOF-sprayed WC-Co coatings (Salt spray resistance >1,000 hrs)
-
Stainless steel fasteners (A4-80 grade)
-
-
Particle Ingression Protection:
-
Triple-lip seals with purge ports
-
IP69K-rated housings
-
-
Temperature Resilience:
-
-60°C to +120°C synthetic greases
-
Thermally compensated gear meshing
-
Case Study:
BP’s North Sea platforms use modified JLG 600S boom lifts with:
-
Zinc-nickel plated slewing drives
-
Pressurized nitrogen cavity purge
-
83% reduction in drive replacements
