Marine & Industrial Transmissions present new concept at Hillhead
MIT to exhibit new hybrid transmission at forthcoming quarrying, recycling and construction exhibition
Marine and Industrial Transmissions (MIT) will be exhibiting a new concept product from Transfluid at the forthcoming Hillhead exhibition.
Transfluid currently produce a range of drive lines that include various forms of fluid couplings and hydraulically actuated power take off’s for use in electric motor and diesel engine applications. In addition, Transfluid are renowned for their range of Rangermatic and Revermatic powershift transmissions.
The new concept hybrid transmission is an accumulation of market requirements and the use of several already well established products. The HT-700 hybrid will use components from the Transfluid HFR210 clutch, the SPD11 multiple pump drive (splitter box) and the Rangermatic powershift transmission. Recharging of the electric portion of the system will be from a generator fitted to one of the pump drives and will use dynamic braking and frequency control technology to control the electric motor and to recharge the battery.
The product is designed as a solution for any vehicle or piece of equipment where pollution or sound restrictions apply.
The HT-700 will be easy to use and install and will work via currently available controls, with the additional benefit of being able to be coupled to any marine gear, gear or drive train.
