Major Brands from Altra Industrial Motion Corp. will be displaying innovative solutions for powered agricultural equipment at Agritechnica: the world’s premier farming machinery trade fair.
Visitors to the event can meet with experts from Guardian, Stieber, Stromag, Thomson, and Warner Electric to discuss their application requirements. Visit Altra on Stand G24 in Hall 15 at Hannover Messe between the 10th and 16th of November, 2019.
vehicle efficiency
Increasing demand for vehicle efficiency juxtaposed with the need to maximize power and yield is presenting agricultural OEMs with engineering challenges. The brands within Altra Industrial Motion Corp. offer end customers the opportunity to specify individual components or complete sub-assemblies.
Altra’s engineered solutions help to maximize power delivery within reduced space (increasing power density), reduce vehicle emissions, minimize weight, and optimize engine unit performance. OEMs can therefore meet tightening emissions standards cost-effectively, while still delivering the increased power and yield demanded by operators.
KHE hydraulic clutch design
Electromagnetic clutches designed to deliver power savings on auxiliary vehicle systems
New for the event, Stromag will be highlighting its KHE hydraulic clutch design, which delivers a 15% weight reduction while providing a 20% increase in transmittable torque.
Stromag will also focus on its SSC steel flywheel coupling, designed to provide consistent performance at higher engine temperatures than a natural rubber variant. Electromagnetic clutches designed to deliver power savings on auxiliary vehicle systems from Warner Electric will also be on the stand.
Electrak MD electric linear actuator
In addition, Thomson will launch the new Electrak MD electric linear actuator during the event. Offering exceptional power density, this compact smart actuator is highly controllable and durable in application, exerting a force of up to 2000 newtons.
The brand will also display its range of rugged linear actuators which can exert forces up to 22,000 newtons, while eliminating the leakage risks and long installation times associated with hydraulic cylinders.
