Hägglunds launches compact drivesolution based on user survey

Hägglunds Drives has launched a new range of hydraulic motors, named Compact CB. They combine space economy with high torque and are reportedly maintenance free and operate at a very low noise level. The new product line is for example suitable for heavy duty applications such as Shredders, Feeders and Roll Mills and is - according to the manufacturer - by far the most compact drive solution on the market.The CB builds upon existing designs with a high mechanical efficiency, but provides a wider choice with regard to application in conjunction with increased performance and reliability. It is based on the specified needs of users derived from a unique technical survey in 13 different countries.

- Our survey included 13 sales companies world wide and we asked them and their many customers to specify their needs for the CB-motor, says Gunnar Ivarsson, Business Area Manager at Hägglunds Drives.
We targeted twelve specific applications with a large sales potential, such as shredders, feeders, roll mills and pulp washing machines. Most customers put high quality and fast service and support as high priorities.
The survey has contributed to the development of the new motor to a very large extent and is thus tailor made for our market.
The CB-motor can be used with the same accessories as the Compact CA motor. It can - according to Hägglunds - be easily mounted directly on to the driven shaft and also be ordered with splines for a close connection to the driven machine.
A very wide number of sizes and displacements will be available to optimise the drive, matching the drive to the application precisely. A high degree of commonality of parts and a simple construction - producing a tough and reliable drive with a very low moment of inertia - are reportedly other significant features.

Full torque at any speed
The mechanical efficiency is approximately 98 per cent and the CB is shock proof, Gunnar Ivarsson emphasises. It provides full torque at any speed from standstill to maximum and can stop instantly. Despite that, the motor can operate at high speeds and with a very low loss of energy. It provides torque's of up to 210 000 lbfoft, with displacements from 920 to 3220 in3 per revolution with speeds up to 125 rpm and rated pressures up to 5000 psi continuously.
