Dana Incorporated Introduces New Series of Spicer® Torque-Hub® Drives for Crawler Cranes, Large Tracked Equipment
Dana Incorporated 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.
