Hägglunds Atom

The Hägglunds Atom from Bosch Rexroth is one of the fastest, most power-dense hydraulic motors in its class. A revamped version of the Hägglunds CAb, Bosch Rexroth’s smallest Hägglunds motor, this radial piston motor supplies maximum torque of up to 13.6 kNm and a specific torque of 40 Nm/bar. With full torque at speeds up to 400 rpm, its maximum power of 394 kW substantially outstrips motors of similar size. Hägglunds Atom is ideal for mobile, marine and recycling applications, including smaller shredders and other machines in tough and unpredictable applications.

Twin Multi-Drive

The Twin Multi-Drive by One Motion is a revolutionary design that allows for independent control of two rollers on a single shaft, with precise registration and speed ranging from up to 500 RPM. Motion is created by directly driving the outer rotating shell using magnetic force. The gearless, magnetic direct drive design is hygienic, reliable and highly efficient. The Twin offers a high-performance solution for numerous applications such as product merge, skew correction and more. Multiple OEMs have improved merge performance from 140 products per minute using conventional servo-motors to 180 products per minute using the Twin.
