Bonfiglioli is now offering a novel access platform drive system
5073 Bonfiglioli is now offering new electrical traction solutions for aerial platforms. These now offer electrical drive capabilities for telescopic boom, articulated boom, vertical and scissor type lifts. The firm says these drives are highly energy-efficient electric traction solutions for aerial platforms, which integrate motor and gearbox. This allows customers to benefit from electric traction technology as installation is easy and flexible due to compact component dimensions, while maintenance and repair needs are minimised and energy consumption is reduced along with emissions and noise. These last two factors are of particular importance to machines of this type, which often have to operate in environments where strict emission and noise limits may be in force. The new Bonfiglioli technology is designed for use with articulated and telescopic boom types, and vertical and scissor platform lifts with service heights from 5-27m. The drives are rugged and durable and can be used on models designed for site use on rough ground, or for indoor applications in tight spaces. The systems feature a two or three stage gearbox with an integrated mechanical clutch that offers reduction ratios of up to 1:95. The gearbox is coupled to a low voltage induction motor that has been specially developed for traction power and control applications. The low voltage, three phase induction motors are highly versatile and are available in voltages from 16-53V, and in various sizes for a wide range of power and size requirements. Features include an integrated temperature and speed monitoring system, an electronically controlled brake and the option of fitting a temperature sensor to suit specific needs. When integrated with a 24-80 V DC battery system and a low voltage control unit, the new technology ensures greater energy efficiency by controlling travel speed more effectively. The result is reduced energy wastage, better travel speed control, and increased gradability and traction. The same gearbox can be coupled to motors of different power ratings to meet design requirements and respect external shape and size restrictions, while various motor-gearbox coupling options are also available.
A key innovation for concrete mixer trucks has been developed by Bonfiglioli, This novel electric drum drive has been developed specially for the new hybrid truck mixer from CIFA, the concrete equipment specialist owned by Chinese manufacturer Zoomlion. Stefano Baldi, worldwide sales manager at Bonfiglioli Trasmital said, “The cement mixer truck market has always been an important one for us, and we have always done our best to offer key account customers superbly reliable, high performance solutions.

The new 700CT Series integrated hydraulic motor drive from Bonfiglioli is designed for use in compact track loader. Said to suit closed circuit applications, this drive range offers compatibility with the previous 700CK Series in closed circuit applications. The new product features the same chassis side and sprocket side dimensions and does not require machine manufacturers to change the design of their present gear motor drive train interface. Compared to conventional drives, however, the new hydraulic mo

Bonfiglioli is broadening its range of drives for road construction equipment with a series of new products for use in milling machines, pavers and compactors. The new milling drive for asphalt planers now features a two-stage gear motor with reinforced bearings on the integrated pulley mounting shaft. The technical specifications for this new solution include integrated lubrication that eliminates the need for a system installed in the milling head and maximises lubrication efficiency. There is also an off
