Allied Motion Technologies now offers 24- and 48-Vdc electric motor drive for powering hydraulic pumps in work truck, commercial, and off-highway vehicles.
EHS series motors provide vehicle OEMs or their second-tier suppliers with a fully integrated electric power steering system that substantially improves vehicle fuel efficiency over all-hydraulic systems. They also offer greater design flexibility because the pump can be installed just about anywhere in the vehicle rather than having to be powered by a vehicle’s gas or diesel engine or power takeoff. Additional benefits include reduced lifetime maintenance and repair costs. Allied officials say EHS electric pump drive motors have exhibited durability and long life in even the harshest environmental conditions.
The EHS’s on-board electronics enable the motor to serve as an intelligent node in modern vehicle networks. Thus, the EHS provides an important component of an intelligent motion solution for electrohydraulic power steering and auxiliary power systems for heavy trucks and commercial buses.
Allied officials also point out that the pump drive motors are also well suited for use in lift trucks with hydraulic steering, larger warehouse trucks, construction vehicles, and agricultural equipment.
