Voltage Options in Off-Highway Machinery

Voltage Options in Off-Highway Machinery: Unraveling the Low Voltage vs. High Voltage Dilemma

In the fast-paced world of off-highway machinery, the decision between low-voltage and high-voltage systems is a make-or-break factor influencing performance, efficiency, and safety. To navigate this complex terrain successfully, it’s crucial to understand the differences between these two voltage options.

Decoding Low Voltage and High Voltage:

Low-voltage systems are capped at 30Vac or 60Vdc. For lighter off-highway applications, think battery levels of 120Vdc or lower – that’s the low-voltage realm. On the flip side, high-voltage systems, especially prevalent in mining and construction, kick in above 120 volts, sometimes reaching a whopping 1000Vdc or more. So, before settling on a battery voltage, consider the power needs and application requirements.

Advantages of Low Voltage:

Low-voltage systems come with their perks, making them a staple in the off-highway world:

• Safety First: Lower voltage means lower risks of shocks, arcs, and fires – creating a safer environment for operators and tech wizards.
• Budget-Friendly: Machines designed for low voltages are usually lighter on the wallet, both initially and in the long run.
• Reliability Standard: A trusted solution with a proven track record, easily understood by techies and machine operators.
• Keeping It Simple: Simple design equals easy troubleshooting, repairs, and maintenance – less downtime and fewer expenses.
• Fun Fact: Did you know? Recent advancements include IPM motor technology for high efficiency in a compact design.

Low-voltage systems commonly power scenarios with a 20 kW cap. Picture electric tractors, utility terrain vehicles, automated guided vehicles – these are the low-voltage champions. But, be wary, their strengths might falter when tackling high-performance, energy-hungry machinery.

Advantages of High Voltage:

High-voltage systems are stealing the spotlight in the off-highway arena, and here’s why:

• Power Surge: Perfect for heavy-duty machinery, offering more power and efficiency for top-notch productivity.
• Tech Talk: Allows fancy tech integrations like electric propulsion and regenerative braking, cutting down on fuel consumption and emissions.
• Future-Proof: Ready to tackle future regulations and environmental standards, setting companies up for the long haul.
• Efficiency Boost: Less heat loss during energy conversion means an efficiency boost overall.

For the heavy-duty players and fully electric chassis, high voltage is the go-to. Smaller tools that crave less power can either sip directly from the primary high-voltage source or indulge in a DC/DC converter. The choice? It depends on factors like cost, availability, and how complicated you want the integration dance to be.

In a Nutshell:

Choosing between low voltage and high voltage boils down to your specific needs, machine requirements, and safety concerns. While low voltage rocks the reliability boat, high voltage takes the lead in power and keeping up with industry trends.

Adigo Drives Solutions:

Whether you’re diving into low or high voltage, count on us to cater to your electrical whims. Our commitment to delivering comprehensive solutions has led us to embrace both low and high voltage in our product range. Plus, we tests both LV and HV components, ensuring top-tier quality and supporting partners in crafting complete solutions for their gear.

Acoustic Design for Mechanical Transmissions

Reducing Gear Noise and Exceeding Expectations

At Adigo, we understand the importance of acoustic design in mechanical transmissions. As regulations become increasingly strict and customer demands continue to rise, it’s crucial to pay attention to every detail. That’s why we focus on reducing gear noise and creating superior solutions that not only meets but exceeds expectations.

The world is changing, and so are the needs of our customers. With the growing emphasis on regulations and the increasing demand for electrically-powered machines, attention to the acoustic design of mechanical transmissions has become more critical than ever. In recent years, we have seen a growing trend in various industrial sectors, where noise reduction is a top priority.

Sound is an essential aspect of our lives, and the way we experience it can make a significant impact on our well-being. We believe that our machinery should not only be functional but also contribute to a more pleasant and peaceful environment. By designing transmissions that produce minimal noise, we can help reduce noise pollution.

Sound intensity is a critical factor when it comes to the acoustic design of mechanical transmissions. The sound waves created by the vibrating body in the medium can be measured objectively using physical quantities such as sound intensity. However, perceived loudness depends on the frequency and timbre of the sound, which is why we use isophonic curves to represent the relationship between sound intensity and perceived intensity.

Gears are an essential component of mechanical transmissions, and their noise can originate from imperfect action, resulting in dynamic forces that transmit to the walls of the casing. These vibrations translate into sound pressure waves, affecting the listener’s experience. At Adigo, we believe in reducing gear noise by tackling the problem at its source. We aim to reduce excitation of meshing, transmission paths of dynamic actions, and vibrations between the mesh and the casing, and acoustic radiation efficiency of the frame.

Our dedication to acoustic design is evident in the quality of our electrification solutions. We understand that every detail matters and are committed to delivering a superior experience. At Adigo, we believe in reducing gear noise not only to improve the user experience but also to contribute to a more sustainable workplace.
