Compact power in a single unit

With the Hägglunds Fusion drive systems introduced at the end of February, the space-saving Hägglunds drive concept is now even more compact. The complete hydraulic direct drive solution can now be mounted on the torque arm. This opens up the advantages of Hägglunds solutions for a wide range of applications.

Compact power: hydraulic direct drive in one unit

The new drive system offers users in materials handling, mining and other industries a plug-and-play solution for the first time. In Hägglunds' Fusion drive system, all components are mounted on the torque arm, from the hydraulic motor and pumps to the housing. This allows for high torque and total reliability from a single unit - with a minimal footprint.

"The Hägglunds Fusion brings everything together at the torque arm," says Wolfram Ulrich, Hägglunds Products and Solutions Sales Manager. "There is no gearbox or foundation and no alignment needs to be done. There is also no need for hydraulic lines and hoses. A Fusion drive system from Hägglunds is extremely compact."

Self-sufficient solution for more efficiency in many applications

The advantages of Hägglunds' solution are particularly evident in systems in the lower performance range, for example apron conveyors, belt conveyors and infeed conveyors. The ease of installation facilitates access to Hägglunds solutions, which are particularly economical in the long term compared to electromechanical drives.

"In these applications, a hydraulic solution from Hägglunds is of great advantage due to the frequent changes between start, stop and reverse," says Ulrich. "The Hägglunds solution offers maximum torque from zero speed and built-in overload protection. This increases productivity, reduces operating costs and enables easy installation. Hägglunds Fusion is compact, reliable performance combined with an easy-to-install plug-and-play solution.

Hägglunds drive technology with a new look

The benefits of Hägglunds' hydraulic drive systems will soon be reflected in an eye-catching redesign that makes the Hägglunds brand even more visible within Rexroth. The change connects the present with a significant past, but is focused on the future - and above all on creating more clarity for customers.

"Our drives are constantly being developed further. The new look is another step," says Wolfram Ulrich. "Customers will find familiar elements in the new design, for example the distinctive red colour of Hägglunds engines. The Hägglunds lettering has become sleeker and more dynamic."

Hägglunds drive solutions are and will remain part of Rexroth's offering. "Hägglunds solutions have undeniable strengths and a dedicated team behind them, which is why the brand continues to be well received by customers," says Tobias Brummer, Head of Brand Management and Brand Communications at Bosch Rexroth. "The clearer positioning of the Hägglunds brand is a win-win, as it highlights these aspects and opens the door to all Rexroth offers."
