Bonfiglioli has showcased its highly advanced kit at this year’s iVT Expo which took place June 26-27 in Cologne, Germany.
Consisting of two electric drives and one electric motor, the kit is designed for battery-powered mini-excavators, but suitable also for other compact off-highway machines.
The kit combines three different components:
An electric swing drive from the 700TE Series
Extremely compact and performing, this series offers high torque in a limited space and integrates an electromagnetic brake, as well as speed and temperature sensors.
An electric track drive from the 700CE Series
Among its benefits for OEMs are ease of installation, higher system reliability thanks to fewer mechanical parts and the virtually maintenance-free electric motors
An electric motor for pump drive from the BPM Series
Featuring a permanent magnet motor with SAE connections, the BPM Series is the best choice in case of electrifying mobile machinery. This series is dedicated to linear actuators which can be left unchanged, while the hydraulic pump is driven by electric motor. The latter, specifically designed for mobile pump applications, offers a high degree of protection, a high torque density, low noise and easy maintenance.
The new swing and track drives from Bonfiglioli make a turning point towards electrification, enabling customers to implement a complete electric solution for track and swing drives of mini excavators. In this way, Bonfiglioli offers a fully electric alternative to traditional hydraulic units made with axial piston motors, which allows for reduced noise levels and consumption, as well as virtually zero CO2 emissions.
The fully electric transmission significantly improves machine efficiency and allows users to extend maintenance intervals, ensuring a substantial reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO).
Each motor has been designed to fit the available space for the rotation and translation system, meeting the dimensional requirements of these applications and minimising modifications to the frame and system as a whole.
