A transition to all-electric solutions for industry equipment is required. However, there is no substitute for hydraulic cylinders in large and heavy applications with higher forces, power and robustness requirements.
Cascade Drives' electromechanical linear drive utilises a unique gearbox technology which enables high performance capabilities of high load and high speed capacity as well as high energy efficiency. The high performance attributes achieved by Cascade Drives technology make it suitable for heavy-duty operations and enables all-electrification in heavy equipment, where it hasn’t been possible before.
Electromechanical pump drive
Increase cutting speed in your water jet cutting process.
Cascade Drives rack and pinion based pump drive offers outstanding positioning accuracy, variable stroke speed and length. An unique solution that significantly improves productivity and efficiency without use of hydraulic fluids.
Powerful linear motion
High-power linear action
Cascade Drives electromechanical linear actuators are made for heavy-duty applications where high load in combination with high speed are key features. Thanks to low internal inertia, acceleration and deacceleration use a minimum of energy. Unlike any other electromechanical actuators, Cascade Drives actuators can handle shock loads. Applications such as lifting, tilting and side shift are now possible to electrify.
Heavy-duty electric power steering (EPS)
Steer-by-wire electric steering for large vehicles
First EPS for heavy-duty vehicles. Now it’s possible to replace conventional hydraulic power steering with a powerful and robust electromechanical system designed for heavy-duty applications. The Cascade STEERING system is compact, efficient, fast, and accurate. Unlike other EPS steering solutions, it doesn’t suffer from degradation due to wear from shock-loading.
Powerful gearboxes
Compact, high-power, and reliable
Cascade Drives high power density gearboxes are based on a properitary planetary gear design. Thanks to the built in torsional flex an increased number of planet gears can be used, which allows for more torque being transfered in one single step. This means number of gear steps can be reduced as well as efficiency losses. The reduced number of gear steps also reduces the overall dimension and weight. Introduction of torsional flex also porevent load transients.
