The output of the final reduction is transmitted directly to
the swing pinion, which is mated to the ring gear of the

slewing ring. Therefore, the upper will swing whenever
hydraulic oil is supplied to the hydraulic motor.
Swing reducer 53Z373 is an integral swing drive which con-
tains a double pianetary gear reduction, driven by a gear
type hydraulic motor, and a disc brake (see Figure 6B-1).
The disc brake is connected directly to the sun gear of the
