This section applies for a slewing drive in all sizes.
The figure shows the installation on a slewing gear unit for a jib crane up to size 457. Installation on a slewing gear unit for a jib crane of size 558 or larger is, essentially, no different.
The slewing gear is usually installed in a way that ensure the slewing motor is facing the trolley power supply. If necessary, the slewing gear can also be installed in a different position (in 90° increments) on the slewing gear unit.
