Cone Drive double-enveloping worm gearing for controlled holding torque.
Solar tracker rows, radar pedestals and heavy slewing axes need reducers that hold position under reversing load. We specify double-enveloping worm gearboxes, slewing drives and repair kits with ratio, backlash and lubricant data exposed before quotation.
4,000-1,500,000 Nm holding torque - AGMA 6034 - CE 2006/42/EC
Specification window
Compare the two duty profiles most Cone Drive buyers ask us to verify first.
| Engineering parameter | Solar tracker slewing axis | Radar or defense positioner |
|---|---|---|
| Holding torque range | 4,000-180,000 Nm | 90,000-1,500,000 Nm |
| Typical output speed | 0.05-1.2 rpm | 0.01-0.8 rpm |
| Backlash target | Controlled by ratio and preload review | Documented inspection record per axis |
| Gear verification | AGMA 6034 design notes, ISO 6336 load check | AGMA contact pattern report plus MIL-STD-810 test summary when specified |
| Environmental package | IP65 seals, UV-stable coating, low-temperature lubricant option | Corrosion system, shock review, documented lubricant interval |
Why double-enveloping geometry
More tooth contact, more bearing discipline, fewer vague promises.
Contact pattern is treated as a deliverable.
Our quotation pack can include tooth bearing checks, ratio confirmation and lubricant notes so engineers see the load path before procurement releases a purchase order. The goal is traceable duty fit, not a generic reducer substitution.
Solar tracker duty starts with hold, not speed.
Low rpm, wind stow events and daily reversal cycles are reviewed against holding torque, shaft orientation and seal package. We document the duty cycle so the gearbox is not oversized by habit or underspecified by catalog guesswork.
Repair work includes failure evidence.
Cone Drive gearbox repair requests are screened for wear mode, lubrication condition, bearing L10 assumptions and shaft alignment. The response can separate quick spares from redesign cases that need a service factor review.

FAQ
Questions engineers ask before releasing a Cone Drive RFQ.
Torque tube load, stow angle, wind case, output rpm, duty cycle and ambient range allow us to check holding torque and lubrication before discussing price.
Yes. Repair screening starts with photos, nameplate, shaft condition, lubricant history and failure symptoms. We then separate seal kits, rebuilds and redesign cases.
No. Oil-lubricated reducers need documented lubricant intervals, seal checks and operating temperature review. We provide interval guidance instead of absolute promises.
