How the ZXG3 integrated slew drive — with a TMS03 motor inside — turns the drilling boom of an underground rock-drill jumbo, 360° and up to 35,000 N·m at the joint.

An underground drill jumbo turns its boom into position hundreds of times a shift. The rock-drilling boom has to slew at the root, index the feed at the head, and hold angle under heavy off-centre load — all underground, in dust and vibration. That slewing is exactly where the ZXG3 integrated slew drive works.
Why a housing-rotating slew drive
- ZXG3 — boom slew. The ZXG3 turns its own housing (壳转) and outputs through a flange, so it mounts directly between the turntable and the boom with no separate slew bearing or gearbox — giving continuous 360° rotation and up to 35,000 N·m at the joint.
- TMS03 — the motor inside. A TMS-series radial-piston motor drives it at low speed without torque ripple, so the boom creeps precisely into position and holds it there under load.
- Encoder-ready. The ZXG3’s encoder interface feeds boom angle back to the controller — the basis for intelligent, semi-autonomous drilling.
