Slew drive gearbox with spherical adjusting mount

A slew drive with mounting structure comprising:

• a post;
• a slew drive including a housing having a bottom side;
• a mounting structure mounting the slew drive to the post, the 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 a convex bottom surface defining a sphere section;
• a post coupling carried by the base plate fixedly coupling the base plate to the post;
• and
• a clamp ring having a central opening receiving the post coupling and post 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;
• and
• fasteners 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.

A slew drive with mounting structure comprising:

• a slew drive including a housing having a bottom side;
• a mounting structure comprising:
• a plate coupled to the bottom side of the housing, the plate having a bottom surface;
• a form element having a top coupled to the bottom surface of the plate, the form element including a bottom surface 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 form element and adjustably receiving the sphere section of the bottom surface of the form element, and a convex bottom surface defining a sphere section;
• a post coupling carried by the base plate for coupling the base plate to a post;
• and
• a 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;
• and
• fasteners 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.
