MAUMEE, Ohio, March 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Dana Incorporated
(NYSE: DAN) today launched a new series of eight
Spicer® Torque-Hub®
drives, expanding the company's offering of drive and motion
technologies for crawler cranes and other large tracked
vehicles.
With torque ratings from 80,000 N-m up to 450,000 N-m, the new
drives offer flexible packaging and gear ratios to meet
manufacturer preferences for tracked and wheeled applications.
Spicer Torque-Hub drives can be packaged with
Brevini® hydraulic pumps and motors to
offer an optimized solution that delivers superior power density,
increased torque and efficiency at start-up, and smooth starts and
stops.
The first three models in the new series of drives are currently
available for field testing by original-equipment manufacturers,
with production expected by the end of this year.
"The Torque-Hub brand has delivered performance, durability, and
reliability to small- and medium-sized off-highway applications for
nearly 50 years," said Aziz Aghili,
president of Dana Off-Highway Drive and Motion Systems. "By
extending Spicer Torque-Hub technology to the largest, most
heavy-duty off-highway applications, Dana is ideally positioned to
provide drive technologies across our customers' entire range of
equipment."
Spicer Torque-Hub Drives Offer Flexibility
Dana offers more than 100 versions of Spicer Torque-Hub drives,
starting at 1,000 N-m, for a broad spectrum of applications
including self-propelled sprayers, mobile elevated work platforms,
compact track loaders, and crawler cranes. They feature a
compact design with a steerable four-wheel-drive configuration that
delivers exceptional maneuverability. Also, Spicer Torque-Hub
wheel drives can be easily integrated with
Spicer® Central Tire Inflation Systems.
Spicer Torque-Hub drives can be packaged with high-performance
electric motors from the Dana electrodynamic product portfolio to
deliver integrated e-Hub systems with superior efficiency.
Dana leverages its global footprint to accelerate delivery times
to customers' final vehicle assembly facilities by manufacturing
Spicer Torque-Hub drives in the United
States, Italy, India, and China.
Dana's Extensive Support for Cranes
The new Spicer Torque-Hub track drives join Dana's large and
growing portfolio of drive and motion technologies for
manufacturers of tracked and wheeled cranes.
In 2018, Dana introduced a series of 13 high-performance Brevini
winches for cranes and other applications with lift capacities from
1.1 tons (990 kg) to 33 tons (30 tonnes). Each winch in the
series features a compact, high-speed piston motor for efficient
operation.
Additionally, Dana supports the work functions of cranes with a
wide selection of Brevini slew drives, hydraulic pumps and motors,
and proportional directional valves.
For rough-terrain cranes, Dana engineers and manufactures
advanced Spicer-branded transmissions, heavy-duty steer axles, and
driveshafts that are fully customizable with additional features
and configuration options to achieve the highest levels of fuel
efficiency and productivity.
