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.

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.

Potato harvester collect the popular tuberous vegetables from the ground during the potato harvest and hand them over to the tractor in front. This automated process also does justice to the growing population and to a certain extent secures the global supply of food. A global manufacturer of such potato harvesters had problems with the technology and turned to it Tsubaki. The freewheel of the drive specialist provided the solution to the problem.

fsg0319FSG remote control devices presents a cross-section of their robust sensors and operating devices for use in construction machinery. The new features include force feedback functions for joysticks and foot pedal sensors, which provide the machine operator with tactile feedback.

Schmersal0419The Schmersal For the first time, the group and its sales partner Scanmin Africa (Pty) Ltd are presenting holistic system solutions for the mining, cement, bulk materials and conveyor industries. Both companies entered into a cooperation in 2016. Their wide range of products complements each other and includes systems for personal and process protection as well as analysis instruments on an online and real-time basis for bulk material handling.

Rexroth0116Vehicle manufacturers achieve significantly less effort for the integration and application of hydrostatic travel drives in construction machinery with function modules from Bosch Rexroth. They combine innovative functions with safety that has already been analyzed and standardized in accordance with the Machinery Directive. In addition, the developers have examined all components and their interactions with one another and further improved the robustness of the function modules.

federal0313Federal-Mogul will showcase a range of technologies that will reduce the need for maintenance on construction equipment. These include the particularly dirt-resistant Goetze drive seal concept from the HSL series and the lead-free "Glycodur" bearing technology for particularly difficult environmental conditions. The innovations aim to reduce environmental impact and extend maintenance intervals. They help to meet future legal environmental requirements today.

Parker0713As an essential element on the hydraulic cylinder to prevent dirt entering the scraper protects the entire hydraulic system from dust, dirt, moisture and other environmental influences. The Parker Sealing Group introduces a newly developed scraper profile with the type designation AV with integrated dirt shield. The scraper offers effective protection against contamination and corrosion of the system and thus contributes to the high availability of the equipment.

In the agricultural industry, there are some of the most demanding environmental conditions for the drive elements installed in agricultural machines. Because these, and thus also the drive chains, are expected to be used continuously throughout the entire harvest season in order to make the best possible use of the often small time window. This also applies to Unia balers, in which Tsubaki ensures reliability with its transmission elements.

rodriguez0619Rodriguez offers slew drives as ready-to-install assemblies with a housing and seal, as well as an optional electrical or hydraulic drive. In this way, users benefit from low installation and maintenance costs.
