osch Rexroth has drawn on years of automotive industrial experience and transferred it to the realms of minerals processing, materials handling and other mining-related endeavours with a host of engineering and technology solutions over the years. Among the most prominent examples are its Hägglunds Drive systems. Hägglunds Drive systems and products, which are still today designed and manufactured in Mellansel, Sweden have been incorporated into Bosch Rexroth since January 2011 — the Hägglunds direct drive system has since become an integral part of the Bosch Rexroth portfolio. The Hägglunds direct drive system is a complete solution that consists of a hydraulic motor and drive unit with an integrated control and monitoring system. Hägglunds drive system motors are attached directly to the drive shaft, with hydraulic pumps in the drive unit determining the force and direction of the motor’s rotation. An integrated control and monitoring
system is also included to provide additional data and advanced functionality. These components are supported by a wide range of valves and accessories for increased flexibility of installation and operation. In mining, the Hägglunds Drive System can be found powering everything from apron feeders and belt conveyor systems to kilns to stacker-reclaimer bucket wheels. Their versatility means that they are also used in a wide variety of applications outside of the mining and materials handling industries, such as offshore marine and dredging, waste management and recycling. The drives have a high power density to provide sufficient starting torque, precise control and predictable life cycles. Hagglunds Drive systems are insensitive to harsh environments and high shock load applications, offering precise speed control and extremely low moment of inertia, which can increase the uptime and productivity of your equipment by limiting the stress on machine components. These system designs are tailored to clients’ requirements and

Hägglunds drives can also be monitored through the use of predictive Hägglunds Condition Monitoring (Hägglunds CM) and Hägglunds Condition Monitoring premium (Hägglunds CMp), which incorporates Bosch Rexroth’s proprietary ODiN software to provide predictive maintenance analytics and a comprehensive index of drive health. Hägglunds Drive Systems receive complete support throughout the drive’s life cycle. Everything needed to optimize performance — from original Hägglunds spare parts to expert field service and cuttingedge upgrades — is readily available through Bosch Rexroth’s global organization. Should the drives themselves require repairs or maintenance, Bosch Rexroth offers Hägglunds
