PMC Training in Panama

Last month, Industrial Global Sales, (IGS), with help from Eaton, conducted product train-ing for our Division’s top cus-tomers in the Caribbean and Latin American markets. Ray-mond Mir, Eaton RSM, Rolan-do Rojas, Eaton Internormen Information Manager, and our IGS sales team conducted 5 days of hydraulic product and systems training. This event was held at the Raddison De-capolis in Panama City, Pana-ma and was hosted by the Marco-Panama group which included participants from over

12 countries. The training cov-ered basic hydraulics, Eaton Industrial PMC, and products for mobile applications and filtration. The event was a huge success and more are planned.

The Latin American and Carib-bean markets bring many op-portunities for Eaton PMC products from simple gear and vane pumps to more elaborate components such as the piston pumps and servo valves used at the Panama Canal.

Thank you to all the vendors and customers who participat-ed.

Vane Pump Build follow up Follow up to our vane pump

build program.

Pump Serial Number 001,

shown in the picture above

right, rolled off our test stand

in February! We are very excit-

ed to offer the ability to build

and ship within 48 hours over

1800 combinations of vane

pumps from V-10’s and 20’s

to 25, 35 and 45VQ’s.

We are now able to solve many

pressing needs that previously

took weeks or months to

achieve. Our goal is to expand

our capabilities and offer a

greater selection of options as

the program evolves.

As always, input from the field

on improving the program is

welcome.

Thank you,

Char-Lynn has a unique 2 speed mo-

tor designed for applications needing

low speed-high torque in one direc-

tion and high speed-low torque in the

opposite direction. How does it work?

To change the displacement, we

route high pressure fluid into 3 of the

7 Geroler pockets. The oil in the

pockets does not leave the motor, it

simply travels back and forth being

"shared" between the 3 pockets.

The sharing fluid does not leave the

motor, so it effectively reduces the

displacement. (number of "active"

pockets decrease from 7 to 4.) This

increases the speed because the

same amount of oil has to travel

through less pockets. Correspond-

ingly, reducing the active pockets

reduces the torque output of the mo-

tor.

The change is created by

introducing a minimum of 100 PSI

into the internal pilot valve port. On

the 2000 series motor, you can effec-

tively go from 29.8 to 14.9 cubic inch

displacement by the “flip of a switch”.

Eaton’s Duraforce products move the world! How does it work??? Technical contribution by Todd Degler—Eaton Product Engineer

Eaton—The New Organization…...Changes to Strengthen Our Business! Eaton’s Hydraulics Group is creating a stronger business with greater focus on commercial excellence, innovation, and program management. As a valued customer, we want you to be aware of the exciting changes taking effect February 1 to drive growth and ensure our long-term success together:

We will have a new Technology Center of Excellence that will focus on product development and accelerate innovation.

We will have a new Program Management Office to focus on program execution and customer satisfaction that will be led by

Chris Schadewald, director.

In addition, we will have a new organization called Product and Markets that brings together our product divisions (Fluid Conveyance and

Power & Motion Controls) and Global Markets Organization. This will increase alignment and collaboration between our product experts,

engineering teams, and sales force. The organization will be led by Jeff Finch, senior vice president and general manager, and his direct reports will include:

Farrokh Batliwala, vice president and general manager - Power & Controls

Greg Gumbs, general manager - Hydraulic Hose & Fittings

Ryan Williams, business unit manager - Industrial/Specialty Hose & Metals

Willie Harbert, business unit manager - Actuation, Projects & Service

Paul David, director – Market Development and Planning

Raja Rajagopalan, commercial leader – SEL

In alignment with this new focus on commercial excellence, in the Americas, we are creating a Sales Operational Excellence (SOE) group that will enable us to better focus on supporting your needs, customer service, and process excellence. This group will be led by Tony Welter. (The replace-ment for Gumbs, our current sales director, will be forthcoming.)

The Power & Controls organization - led by Farrokh Batliwala – is divided into three distinct areas; mobile, industrial and electronic controls & soft-ware. The leaders for each area are committed to supporting HSC.

David Strohsack – Marketing Director- Mobile Portfolio

Bill Wesmann – Marketing Manager- Industrial Portfolio

Eddie Phillips – Marketing Manager- Electronic Controls & Software

The Americas regional marketing execution teams aligned to the mobile and industrial Power & Controls product portfolios consist of the following:

Mobile: Nate Alme, Global Team

Vince Duray – Piston Products

Mauricio Dela Serna – GG/ Steering

Chris Anderson – SiCV / Mobile Valves

Industrial: Todd McIntyre – Global Team Leader

Do you have an application that requires motors with a torque range of 14,000 lb-in to 25,000 lb-in? If you do, you may want to consider Eaton’s HP-30 Motor. The HP-30 Motor is Eaton’s largest Geroler™ motor with a pressure capability of 5000 psi and flow capability of 70 GPM (intermittent). It provides three fundamental and unique advantages:

1. High Starting Torque Efficiency

2. Low No Load Pressure Drop

3. Series Circuit Capability

Increase Torque to your business performance with

Eaton’s HP-30 Motor!

High Starting Torque Efficiency – More starting torque is particularly effective in applications that have a lot of starting and stopping. There will be more power available at the shaft for higher loads during start up conditions.

Application Benefit

Propel

Better tractive effort for applications under heavy load

Leads to more allowable load on the machine

More material can be removed per hour

Winch Easier to lower the winch and raise back up from stall

Sizing of winch application is based on starting torque limitations

Conveyor More power to start under heavier loads

Low No Load Pressure Drop – Less No Load Pressure Drop means less heat is generated as the fluid travels through the motor. Heat is lost energy and often requires expensive cooling.

Application Benefit

Closed Loop

Downsize the Cooling System

Smaller Radiator, Smaller Fan

Smaller Package Size (More room for other components)

Less Power Wasted

Open Loop Smaller overall reservoir required

Series Circuit Capability – Reduces the overall connections required over parallel circuits. Less flow output is required from the pump and flow dividers are not required.

HP-30 does NOT have a minimum back pressure or a reduced life when applied in series as compared to radial piston motors due to high amounts of wear on the rotating group.

Some key features of the motor include:

Single and two speed

Open and closed loop

Standard mount brake

In this size and torque range, the competition is primarily radial pis-ton motors and axial piston motors with a gearbox.

Char-Lynn 2K Disk Motor Application

One of our OEM customers was having an issue with their dual right angle aerial swing drive. This swing drive is used to rotate a 100 foot ladder 360 degrees at various angles. Previously, they used two right angle gear boxes that were driven by two hydrau-lic motors. The swing drive also contained two planetary gear boxes equipped with brakes and

attached to two pinion gears. Both right angle gear boxes work together in unison at slow speeds to “inch” the ladder towards buildings for rescue operations. One issue was when operated at low speeds, the motors and drives often “cogged” meaning one would try to lead and the other would try to follow causing a noisy operation. Addi-tionally, when the ladder was rotated then stopped, the backlash (bounce) produced at the end of the ladder was unacceptable.

To reduce this backlash, we used an Eaton Char-Lynn 2K motor to drive an Auburn right angle gear box which contained “matched” preloaded gear sets and a one piece pinion gear output shaft. This helped minimize the addi-tive tolerances that produced slippage. With this combina-tion, HSC was able to eliminate most of the backlash with an extremely quiet and smooth dual drive system without the cogging effect.

“Our customer liked the HSC dual drive system so much that they have specified it on all 2013 current and future dual drive applications.”
