The slewing device is a horizontal redirection device that guides the chain and the carriage to turn smoothly along the track. It is installed on the horizontal turning rail section of the line. The slewing device can be divided into three structures: sprocket rotation, smooth wheel rotation, and roller row rotation.
Sprocket turning device
The rotating wheel of the sprocket rotating device is a sprocket, which is generally used for small turning radius. It is recommended to use a sprocket with Z=10.(Z-number of sprocket teeth)
Light wheel rotating device
The rotating wheel of the light wheel turning device is a toothless light wheel, which is generally used in horizontal turning sections with a large radius.
Roller row rotation device
The roller row slewing device is generally used in horizontal turns where the horizontal steering angle is less than 90° or the turning radius is large.
