News for the mobile working machine in the harsh environment

Here you will find product innovations from suppliers for the manufacturers of the mobile work machine. Examples are cranes, forklifts, excavators, combine harvesters, forest machines or self-propelled AGVs. Even with these vehicles, modern technologies such as communication technology, sensors, satellite navigation and mapping, etc. unstoppable inroads. Autonomous industrial trucks and other self-propelled work machines are powered by electricity and are mutating into a new class, the high-tech vehicle.

Mobile machines such as excavators, cranes or combine harvesters are becoming increasingly intelligent and equipped with more and more electrical drive technology. The previously quite unergonomic work machines are also becoming more comfortable. Against the background of the Precision farming the customer focuses on yield, service life and maintenance. Targeted seed application is an example of this.

Dynamic inclination sensor for wheel bearings and other work machines

Pepperl Fuchs tilt sensorIf you try to hang a picture horizontally or determine the inclination using a spirit level, this is quite easy because the air bubble in the level shows when the picture is hanging straight. The bucket of a wheel loader cannot be steered horizontally while the machine is accelerating or braking. The IMU F99 inclination sensor from Pepperl + Fuchs provides a remedy.

New developments for and from excavators, tractors, AGVs & Co.

igus02181Using the example of industrial trucks shows Igus, where the Motion Plastics specially developed for dynamic applications can be used and how they can be used to avoid machine downtimes. "Iglidur" plain bearings can already be found in bearing points for heavy-duty swivels, "Chainflex" cables and e-chains with the smallest bending radii and large lifting heights in the mast.

igus MA0115Increasing individual design requests and optimal use of space require new ideas in the field of construction elements. In the case of linear plain bearings, the straightness of the rail guide has hitherto set certain limits to the design. now offers Igus also offers curved "Drylin" rails that give designers even more freedom: for example in the cabins of construction and agricultural machinery.

ACE1Due to their variability, the "Tubus" structural dampers from ACE have established themselves as reliable and inexpensive machine elements in a large number of applications, if precise braking is not required. This application in the world's only articulated telescopic wheel loader with a lifting height of 6,90 m, the 9380 T from Schäffer, proves that there are hardly any restrictions.

stahl0312A wide variety of products are waiting to be loaded and assembled on the construction site and on the way there. Regardless of whether precast concrete parts are to be lashed, steel girders to be lifted or raised for pre-assembly. Carl Stahl shows the various aids in rope and lifting technology, including the new "sandwich clamp".

Not only the future of the car, but also that of off-highway applications could be electric. This enables emission limits to be reached and, at the same time, an electrically powered machine, for example, significantly reduces the noise on a construction site. Bosch offers different components for an electric drive and combines the electric motor SMG180 / 120 and the inverter "Invcon 2.3" from the tried and tested high-volume technology from the car with an EDT180 reduction gear for drive transmission and special software for a complete drive system for off-highway applications.

Igus0216"Iglidur" plain bearings are already being used, for example, in the lifting arms of front loaders. Igus has the heavy-duty material "Iglidur TX1" in its range for even tougher applications, for example in the construction machinery or agricultural sector, where very high forces act on bearings. This offers extremely high compressive strength and a long service life. It also has high media and temperature resistance up to 170 ° C for a short time.

rundl0219Torsion Control Products (TCP) developed a customer-specific coupling for a manufacturer of motor graders for road construction. With their special torsion characteristics, the durable and robust couplings dampen the drive train vibrations and remain operational even under the harshest operating conditions.

eckerle0319The radial and axial gap compensation of the internal gear pumps from Eckerle Technologies leads to very good degrees of efficiency over the entire service life in the entire speed range, even at high temperatures and low oil viscosities. Now the manufacturer has expanded the portfolio downwards with the EIPS1 series in conveying sizes from 1,6 to 5 cm3 / rev.

fronius11019Tractors, combine harvesters and seed drills are exposed to wind, weather and dirt every day. Damage or signs of wear and tear are therefore preprogrammed and often have to be repaired directly in the field, and not infrequently with a variety of challenges. Reliable, mobile and versatile welding systems are an important support in this case. Fronius offers several devices for these challenges.

The Spring clutches from Torsion Control Products (TCP) have a special torsional elasticity. This makes them suitable for applications with modern diesel engines such as those in Mobile work machines such as agricultural machinery, construction machinery, mechanical engineering, shipbuilding and mining. Now TCP has a custom coupling for one of the largest in the world dump Truck developed. The spring clutch has an extremely long service life.
