This document at least seems to be distinctly unhelpful regarding the relevant definitions.

But it is known that the turret rotation of some tanks suffer while running on battery power. The turret drive is a motor which uses quite some power.

WoT Type 5 Chi-Ri 13752kg!! how terrible….

Регулярно кто-нибудь натыкается на эту вот картинку и тащит ее в эту тему.

According to “Panther and its Variants”, turret weight with gun for Panther is 9500 kg, gun with mantlet – 2650 kg. So turret itself is 6850 kg. In this document turret weight is 4700 / 5050 kg.

Also, SS, “погон” is not a “turret drive”, it is a “turret race” or a “turret ring”.

Most use a power take-off to transfer some of the engine’s power to a mechanism that automates rotation.

Maybe it is the hole mechanical mechanism to rotate the turret. Now I am not 100% certain of what I said before :D
