  • Patent number: 9279233
    Abstract: A shovel includes a turning drive unit. The turning drive unit includes a turning electric motor, a turning speed reducer configured to transmit the rotational driving force of the turning electric motor to a turnable body, a brake unit configured to maintain the turnable body in a state where the turning of the turnable body is stopped, a case forming a space in which the turning speed reducer and the brake unit are lubricated with lubricant oil and accommodated, a collar fixed around an output shaft of the turning speed reducer so as to rotate with the output shaft and covering at least a part of a relief part formed at a time of forming splines on the output shaft, and a sealing member provided between the collar and the case and hermetically sealing the lubricant oil inside the space.

  • Patent number: 9062743
    Abstract: A shovel includes a turning drive unit. The turning drive unit includes a turning electric motor, a turning speed reducer configured to transmit the rotational driving force of the turning electric motor to a turnable body, and a brake unit configured to maintain the turnable body in a state where the turning of the turnable body is stopped. The turning speed reducer includes a planetary speed reducer including a planetary carrier. The planetary carrier includes an output shaft part that forms an output shaft and a carrier part that holds a planetary gear in such a manner as to allow the rotation of the planetary gear. The output shaft part and the carrier part are fastened by a fastening member.
