Driveline additions from Dana focus on connectivity

Driveline specialist Dana is developing a full connectivity suite for its transmissions, axles and other driveline components. The Dana Spicer Smart Suite collects, manages, analyses, communicates and acts on data from the complete drivetrain, including load and condition monitoring, torque management, speed sensing and steering sensing. This provides critical alerts and allows the operator to react to operational changes, boosting productivity and safety. “As the construction market becomes more competiti

Driveline specialist 2254 Dana is developing a full connectivity suite for its transmissions, axles and other driveline components. The Dana Spicer Smart Suite collects, manages, analyses, communicates and acts on data from the complete drivetrain, including load and condition monitoring, torque management, speed sensing and steering sensing. This provides critical alerts and allows the operator to react to operational changes, boosting productivity and safety.

“As the construction market becomes more competitive, equipment manufacturers and owners are pressed to drive greater efficiencies,” said Aziz Aghili, president of Dana Off-Highway Driveline Technologies.

“Dana is actively developing a wide selection of leading edge technologies, led by Spicer Smart Suite technology, that can transform passive drivetrain components into intelligent powerful forces for boosting performance.”

The first application of the technology is an intelligent load monitoring system (ILMS) for telehandlers. While traditional load monitoring collects measurements from a single remote-mounted or retrofit load cell on the rear axle, Spicer ILMS uses data from across the machine to prevent tip-overs more effectively, both when stationary and when the machine is mobile.

    Dana Rexroth Transmission Systems’ HVT R3 is the first of a series of hydro-mechanical variable transmissions resulting from the 50-50 joint venture between Dana and Bosch Rexroth AG. The R3 is for wheeled loaders with engine outputs of up to 265kW and uses a combination of hydrostatic and mechanical drives to offer fuel savings of up to 20%. Cleverly, the HVT R3 will allow the operator to preset a maximum travel speed, or preselect a fixed engine rpm and use the transmission’s characteristics to keep the
