The difference between a rotary drive and a bearing drive 

Any product has its own characteristics, and users make a choice based on the characteristics of the product. However, if the user understands the characteristics of the product, compare the rotary drive and a bearing drive to determine which one is more suitable for them. What are specific differences? The manufacturer of the rotary drive briefly spoke about the difference between the rotary drive and the bearing drive.

The difference between a rotary drive and a bearing drive

1. The rotation drive is the same as the drive of the bearing, with rolling bodies and rolling rings with rolling paths. However, it has many differences from the drive, mainly the size of the rotary drive. Its diameter is usually 0.4-10 meters, and some reach 40 meters. At the same time, the manufacturer of the rotary drive said that the price of a rotary drive is slightly higher than usual. Turning drives usually have to withstand the loads in several areas: not only axial and radial forces, but also large overturning moments. Thus, the full set of rotating drive equipment often performs the functions of several common drive devices.

2. The operating speed of the rotary drive is very low, usually less than 10 rpm. Moreover, in many cases, the rotary drive does not rotate continuously, but turns back and forth at a certain angle. There are also large differences in production processes, materials and heat treatment. Typically, drive equipment is equipped with a ring gear for a rotational drive and a sealing device to prevent fussing.

The above is a brief description of the differences between the rotary drives and the bearing drives of the manufacturers of the rotary drives. I hope that everyone will understand this and will be able to choose a suitable bearing product in accordance with their needs.
