Notes from bauma: Five machines riding the wave of electrification

April 10, 2019 By Ken Korane

It seems on every corner at bauma 2019 someone was talking electrification – replacing diesel powered machines with battery powered electric drives. Among the reasons: legislative pressures for zero-emission vehicles in city centers, their suitability for indoor demolition and basement projects, and the preference for low-noise machines required for night-time work and in quiet zones […]

Notes from bauma: Hydraulic hybrid excavator among new introductions

April 9, 2019 By Ken Korane

At bauma 2019, Volvo is exhibiting a soon-to-be available hydraulic hybrid excavator that is said to improve fuel efficiency by up to 17%. The EC300E Hybrid excavator’s boom-down motion charges energy-storing accumulators that are used to subsequently power the hydraulic pump. Unlike other systems that capture the swing energy of an excavator’s superstructure to electrically […]

Shift in Motion: An innovative propulsion system for mobile machines

August 27, 2018 By Ken Korane

Manufacturers and operators of today’s mobile equipment often want a machine that does double duty: provides high tractive effort in the working mode and high maximum velocities when operating in the transport mode. These drivetrain requirements can be met through a wide array of traditional technological concepts, ranging from simple manual transmissions (shifted at standstill) […]

New-generation valve actuation

August 10, 2018 By Ken Korane

Proportional hydraulic valves are key components in mobile agricultural and construction machines, as they control motion for a wide variety of functions via cylinders and hydraulic motors. Electrohydraulic actuation is often used to control valve main-spool movement. For lower flows two solenoids can directly actuate the spool, but such arrangements result in high hysteresis and […]
