Compact hydraulic tanks for rotary drives25.09.2016 8.00
Installation space in railway vehicles is extremely precious as engineers struggle to fit more and more technology into unchanged dimensions. Here, the new TMSx hydraulic tank offers relief. The developers of Bosch Rexroth have realized a compact design with a diameter of just 330 mm and a height of 480 mm. The new oil tank complies with all relevant standards of the European railway industry and offers an uncomplicated and versatile solution. The TMSx tank is particularly designed for application in rotary drives like hydrostatic traction, fan, generator or compressor drives. A cyclone spiral guarantees highly favorable degassing behavior of hydraulic fluids. Its functional capability was verified at flows of up to 350 l/min. The TMSx-16 frame size has a filling volume of just 10,6 liters and can be used for applications with a system volume of up to 70 liters. Thanks to a reduced oil filling, less oil is required per oil exchange. This saves resources and enables reduced life cycle costs. The reservoir is made of steel and offers various options for level monitoring of the fluid. Medium temperatures between -30 °C to +90 °C are admissible. The TMSx tank series extends the Rexroth modular system solution of pumps, motors, hydraulic blocks, valve technology and RC control systems for railway vehicles. Bosch Rexroth is a globally established supplier of railway technology and offers spare parts supply for decades thanks to obsolescence management. |
