Designed for Excavators

At the core of each Dextreme system is the Danfoss Digital Displacement pump, the first and only truly digitally controlled hydraulic pump for off-highway machinery. The pump's dedicated digital controller activates each piston individually, providing fast and accurate response to system demand, enabling superior machine controllability. The pump provides unmatched full and part load efficiency by using only the pistons needed to meet the load.

The incremental aspect of Dextreme systems minimizes risk for excavator OEMs now while positioning them as long-term leaders with a cost-effective system pathway to significant decarbonization.

Product range

Dextreme Swap

Available today, Dextreme Swap replaces the main hydraulic pump with a Digital Displacement® pump, custom software, and digital controller. Delivering a 15% reduction in fuel use and carbon dioxide emissions, compared to an excavator fitted with a conventional swash plate pump.

Recuce battery requirement by 24.8%

Reduce battery requirement by 24.8%

New research published by Danfoss Power Solutions shows that combining an electric motor with a Digital Displacement® pump in an excavator is the most efficient way to turn battery energy into hydraulic work.
