The theme of our message at this year‘s Bauma trade fair in Munich is “From Power Source to Power Applied” – indicating that we can offer a complete product portfolio of integrated driveline systems for off-highway applications, from the power generator to the power consumer.

Here is a brief overview of the top new products:

PREMIERE AT BAUMA:

New eDrive concepts for the off-highway sector GKN Land Systems will be presenting eDrive concepts for electric and hybrid drivelines for the first time at Bauma.

NEW PRODUCT IN THE CLUTCH SYSTEMS SEGMENT:

Stromag Vector coupling – reliable transmission of torques up to 9,600 Nm
GKN Land Systems is now presenting a flexible coupling of the latest generation – the Vector coupling. The focus is on the use of elastomeric elements that are arranged on a small diameter and capable of transmitting torques up to 9,600 Nm.

NEW PRODUCT IN THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS SEGMENT:

ICVD increases system efficiency
In the field of driveline systems, GKN Land Systems will for the first time be presenting the continuously variable, hydrostatic ICVD drive with additional, automatic axle disconnection.

NEW PRODUCT IN THE UNIVERSAL DRIVESHAFT SEGMENT:

Mechanics 15.5C – up to 30 percent higher torque capacity
GKN Rockford, the world’s leading manufacturer of heavy-duty driveline components, will use Bauma 2013 as an opportunity to present the new, high-power Mechanics® 15.5C driveshaft series for heavy-duty driveline applications in the off-highway sector, e.g. in mining.

NEW PRODUCT IN THE WHEELS SEGMENT:

Swift Wheel Technology
Mining tyre and wheel servicing organisations work to help maximise machine productivity and efficiencies. GKN Wheels has worked closely with these organisations to design, manufacture and now launch a range of products to make it the supplier of choice for mining wheels.

GKN STROMAG:

Expanded product range
During Bauma, GKN Stromag will also be exhibiting for the first time since its integration in the GKN Land Systems Division. GKN Stromag has long been a globally acknowledged engineering partner and supplier of multiple-disc clutches and brakes, industrial disc brakes, highly flexible couplings, and cam-type limit switches for gearboxes.
