]]> Dana Incorporated announced that the company’s advanced drive technologies are used on all four of the winners in the “Tractor of the Year 2021” awards competition.

The four winners include:

  • The Massey Ferguson 8 S.265 high-horsepower tractor featuring a Spicer modular steer axle as well as Dana’s high-precision gears and shifting solutions. The tractor earned the coveted “Tractor of the Year” award.
  • The Valtra G 135 Versu multi-purpose tractor, which earned top honors in the “Best Utility” category. It utilizes a Spicer steer axle, along with gears and shifting solutions from Dana.
  • The Fendt 211 V Vario narrow-track tractor, which won the “Best of Specialized” award and uses a Spicer steer axle.
  • The Claas Axion 960 CEMOS tractor, which received the “Sustainable Tractor of the Year” designation and is equipped with a Spicer suspended steer axle, driveshaft, and gears.

Altogether, Dana technologies are featured on 10 of this year’s 18 finalists in the distinguished international showcase, which is held annually.

“Advanced drive technologies deliver superior traction, fuel efficiency, sustainability, and operator comfort that boost the productivity and competitiveness of agriculture operations. Once again, this year’s ‘Tractor of the Year’ awards competition clearly demonstrates how to drive innovations from Dana contribute to the exceptional performance of the best tractors in the world.”

said Aziz Aghili, executive vice president and president of Dana Off-Highway Drive and Motion Systems.

Front suspended axles from Dana deliver enhanced speed and operator comfort for compact tractor applications as well as tractors with increased performance requirements. Dana also offers independent suspension axles for open-field tractors up to 375 kW (500 hp).

Dana produces highly engineered shifting solutions for the agriculture market, including synchronizers, clutches, and bevel gear sets.  The solutions offer faster synchronization times, enhanced shifting performance and driver comfort, improved efficiency, and lower overall transmission weight.

Dana’s innovative products improve the performance and efficiency of a wide range of agriculture applications such as sprayers, tractors, telehandlers, combines, and harvesters.  Dana’s portfolio of advanced technologies has been engineered to support increased crop yields, optimized harvesting operations, lower emissions, improved operator safety and comfort, and reduced total cost of ownership.

First presented in 1998, “Tractor of the Year” winners are selected by a jury of 26 European editors from independent technical magazines specializing in agriculture machinery.

]]> Dana Incorporated (NYSE:DAN) today introduced new drive technologies for material-handling vehicles, including a low-voltage, high-efficiency motor for electric-powered applications, as well as a new series of modular, high-efficiency drive axles for Class I, IV, and V industrial lift trucks.

The new technologies demonstrate how Dana offers modular systems that support both bolt-on and fully integrated approaches to vehicle design. Dana’s flexibility helps manufacturers reduce system complexity, shorten the time to develop and introduce new products, and facilitate the introduction of innovations into the vehicle life cycle.

Dana has a deep portfolio of Spicer axles, transmissions, and driveshafts for traditional applications driven by internal-combustion engines, as well as a full range of electric motors, inverters, and controllers for low- and high-voltage applications ranging from 24 to 800 volts.

Additionally, Dana supplies motion systems for work functions as well as advanced sensors and controls developed to optimize productivity, maximize life, and reduce maintenance.

“Performance, efficiency, and modularity are the top needs for manufacturers of material-handling equipment,”

said Aziz Aghili, president of Dana Off-Highway Drive and Motion Systems.

“Dana’s new generation of innovations provide the lowest total cost of ownership by helping equipment buyers navigate the challenges of Industry 4.0, human-to-machine communication, autonomous vehicle operation, Big Data, and the end-to-end digitization of supply chain processes.”

New Low-Voltage, High-Efficiency Motor

Dana has launched a new 48- to 120/144-volt synchronous reluctance internal permanent magnet (SRIPM) motor targeted for Class I electric lift trucks, sideloaders, and mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs). Delivering up to 95 percent efficiency, the motor prolongs battery life and extends duty cycles by delivering higher power density than the AC motors typically used in these applications.

Currently available for field testing by equipment manufacturers, the motor offers continuous power from 20 kW to 60 kW, and peak power from 30 kW to 70 kW. It is scheduled for production in late 2020.

The new motor joins the wide breadth of technologies from Dana that allow manufacturers to address the specific performance, power, torque, and NVH requirements of any given material-handling application. Dana offers low- and high-voltage solutions including SRIPM, synchronous reluctance (SR), internal permanent magnet (IPM), and AC induction motors.

The motors can be combined with Dana’s inverter, controller, software, and drive products to deliver a comprehensive system solution for original-equipment manufacturers.

Spicer 141 Axle

Designed for Class I, IV, and V industrial lift trucks, the Spicer 141 axle is a scalable, modular platform built for heavy loads while offering durability, reliability, and ease of maintenance.

Available now for cushion- and pneumatic-tire forklift trucks, the Spicer 141 axle offers a wide range of ratios to optimize tractive performance. Available with wet brake and drum brake configurations, the new series of axles includes a variety of mast and frame mounting options. Its new lifetime wet brake offering comes standard with an internal spring-applied hydraulic-release (SAHR) parking brake to support industry safety initiatives.
