Construction machines such as excavators, cranes and compaction equipment are operated under extreme conditions on construction sites: dust, mud, impact loads, extreme temperatures and long operating hours without servicing opportunities characterise their use. In this environment, drive components must be extremely robust and reliable. A breakdown on the construction site causes not only repair costs but also delays in the building project.
For rotating installations, slewing gears and lifting systems on construction machines, drive elements with high load capacity and robust construction are required that work reliably even under permanent impact and vibration loads.
WMH Herion supplies slewing bearings, bevel gear units and robust drive elements for construction machinery applications. The heavy-duty slewing bearings with integrated toothing are particularly suitable for slewing gears and rotating installations on excavators and cranes.
For chain drives and undercarriages on construction machines, WMH Herion supplies sprockets in robust versions with hardened teeth. The stock programme ensures that spare parts and replacement components for common types of construction machine can be procured quickly.
