Slew drive gearbox with spherical adjusting mount

摘要

A slew drive with mounting structure includes a slew drive having a housing with a bottom side. A mounting structure includes a plate assembly coupled to the bottom side of the housing. A bottom surface of the plate assembly is formed as a convex surface forming a sphere section. A base plate has a concave top surface adjustably receiving the sphere section of the bottom surface of the plate assembly and a convex bottom surface. A post coupling is carried by the base plate for coupling the base plate to a post. A clamp ring has a central opening receiving the post coupling therethrough and has a concave top surface adjustably receiving the convex bottom surface of the base plate. Fasteners couple the plate assembly and clamp ring and are movable between a clamp position and an unclamped position.

1. A slew drive with mounting structure comprising:
a slew drive including a housing having a bottom side; a mounting structure comprising:
a plate assembly coupled to the bottom side of the housing, the plate assembly having a bottom surface formed as a convex surface forming a sphere section;a base plate having a concave top surface defining a sphere section substantially matching the sphere section of the bottom surface of the plate assembly and adjustably receiving the sphere section of the bottom surface of the plate assembly, and the base plate having a convex bottom surface defining a sphere section;a post coupling carried by the base plate for coupling the base plate to a post; anda clamp ring having a central opening receiving the post coupling therethrough and having a concave top surface defining a sphere section substantially matching the sphere section of the bottom surface of the base plate and adjustably receiving the sphere section of the bottom surface of the base plate; andfasteners coupling the plate assembly and clamp ring, the fasteners movable between a clamp position preventing relative movement between the plate assembly, the clamp ring, and the base plate, and an unclamped position permitting relative movement between the plate assembly and the clamp ring, and the base plate.
