Counterbalance Valves for H1B
Introducing a new counterbalance valve CBV for our family of H1B bent-axis motors, expanding the motor’s application to open-circuit systems. The new CBV enhances system performance by improving system efficiency, and features reduced pressure drop, integrated pressure relief valves, simplifying system integration and reducing time to market. It is ideal for many systems:
- Wheeled and crawler excavators
- Crawler and truck cranes
- Drilling and pipe-handling applications
- Rotating attachments (e.g., rotary tiller)
Choose DN32A for the 160cc H1B, or DN32B for 210 and 250cc.
T90 system
Danfoss was the company to invent the HST system for transit mixer and profits from expert knowledge. This was gathered in over 40 years of experience in the transit mixer application globally. To improve customer value even further, we introduced the T90 system of leading technology. This helps to support you taking your performance to the next level.
Your benefits
Minimized weight: The lighter weight by 50% increases fuel efficiency, reducing your costs significantly
Smaller size and compact design: The decrease in size by over 30% reduces volumetric losses to a possible minimum. The T90 system is convenient for your drum arrangement, (dis)assembly and takes up little chassis space. This provides more choices for you
Standard assembly interface: The standard assembly interface minimizes inventory and reduces total costs
Right-sized fit for your application: The wide coverage for 6-18 m3 transit mixer makes the T90 system flexible. Enough to fit all kinds of applications
Axial piston design: The axial piston has been designed based on best-in-class technologies, leading to higher efficiency
Proven reliability and high performance: The T90 system was developed using advanced technology based on decades of experience. This leads to an optimized and reliable performance, allowing for predictable and safe machine operation
Sufficient production capacity: The T90 system guarantees your machines can operate with enough production capacity to ensure best performance
Excellent service: Choosing Danfoss as your partner, you will profit not only from excellent service through our trained experts. Also, you will profit from short delivery times – to provide you what you need, when you need it
