SWING GEARBOX AND BRAKE

Description

The swing gearbox and brake, used in conjunction with the
swing motor, rotates and stops the superstructure. A pedal
on the cab floor is used to activate the swing brake. The
swing gearbox is bolted to the superstructure base plate, and
its pinion gear meshes with the ring gear of the turntable
bearing to rotate the turntable.
The swing gearbox utilizes double reduction planetary
gearing. The multi-disc swing brake assembly is an integral
part of the swing gearbox and is located between the swing
motor and the swing gearbox. The brake mechanism is a
disc pack that is hydraulically released and spring applied.

Maintenance

NOTE: The swing brake
disassembled independently of the swing gearbox.
