Planetary Reducers and Wheel Drives
Key factors influencing the effectiveness of this product are the personnel's total dedication to service, flexibility in engineering and the modular construction of the components, making it the modern answer to the increasing demands for compactness, cost-effective simplicity, and reliability.

"PG" planetary gear units are divided into 15 basic groups depending on the amount of torque to be transmitted through the output shaft, which can be as high as 150,000 lb-ft.

The primary physical advantages offered by the modular construction include the possibility to combine a series of stages of different sizes in order to obtain a vast range of reduction ratios from 3:1 to 2500:1. It also permits the coupling of bevel gears, worm gears and brakes, as well as a diverse selection of output shafts, flanges and input adapters for hydraulic, mechanical and electrical prime movers.

APPLICATIONS
We have successfully applied the "PG" series gearboxes in industrial and mobile applications, such as chemical plants, machine tools, marble processing, lifting and handling machinery, farm machinery and tunneling equipment for the marine, oil and gas production, entertainment, logging, mining, food, transportation, construction, aerospace, energy, underwater, and ecology industries.

The SOM PGR (F) and PGW (F) rotating housing drives have been developed with specific applications in mind. The PGR design puts both the stationary and rotating flanges close together to accommodate the demands of small track driven vehicles, winches, and live conveyor roll drives.

The PGW units have been built for wheel drives that encounter high shock loads, axial steering forces, and heavy off center loading.

Please consult North American Hydraulics for the drive that fits your application. Integral Gerotor and Axial Piston Motors are available. Options include mechanical disconnect and parking brakes.

Excavator Bucket Rotators

Rototilt ™ provides a combined rotating/tilting excavating action, which permits entirely new and sometimes revolutionary applications for excavators. Rototilt ™ allows 360^o unlimited rotation in both directions and 40^o of side tilting in each direction. It is constructed around a robust, solidly supported and sealed worm gear, combined with low-mounted, powerful telescoping tilt-cylinders and a hydraulic swivel capable of hefty oil flows. Added with a convenient hydraulic quick coupler, you gain the versatility of using a single machine with a broad assortment of tools and attachments such as; grapples, clamshell buckets, augers, ditching buckets, cut-off saws, thumbs, and more. Ask about custom applications, designed specifically for your tools and attachments.

Indexator’s patented Rototilt ™ design is proven & tested in Europe & Canada, and renowned for its quality and high operating reliability. Rototilt™ broadens the scope of your excavator, allowing you tackle tough projects with a wide range of tasks, with less manpower, and fewer machines. Thus, you are not only rewarded with a quicker return on investment, but also much higher safety factors & profit margins.

 Industrial & Forest Grapple Rotators

The Indexator range of industrial rotators is designed and manufactured for tough and demanding applications, common in the handling of scrap metal and building materials. The industrial rotator is a direct development from our successful forestry rotators.

Sturdiness
The internal fluid channels are designed for high flow rates as required by large grapples, etc. Bearings are dimensioned to withstand large external forces from all directions, vertically and horizontally.

The Indexator industrial rotator consists of two main parts, a combined swivel and bearing housing and a bolt-on motor section that is fully relieved from external forces. (The unit can be used with or without the drive motor section, for driven or free rotation.)

Quality
All Indexator rotators are manufactured to the highest quality standards.

The wide range of applications for which Indexator rotators are used necessitates superior quality products to withstand the most severe working conditions, such as those encountered during felling and harvesting of timber.

 
Track Drives and Winch Drives
The combination of a high performance bent axis motor and a gear box with precision ground gears, gives a final drive with high starting torque - excellent mechanical efficiency while operating, and long dependable life. The O & K is well suited to industrial applications and mobile drives.

The mountings of the final drive to the machine and of the drive sprocket to the final drive are affected by well-sized bolts; power transmission is effected by friction.

Maximum efficiency is guaranteed by

• roller bearings for all rotating parts
• equal load sharing of planet wheels by means of floating planetary carriers self adjusting under load
• case-hardening and grinding of tooth flanks of the sun and planet wheels

Together with your technical staff we will work out transmission ratio as well as type and size of hydraulic motors to be utilized in accordance to necessary travel speed and torque required. Dimensions and weight not strictly obligatory.

Radial Piston Motors
FEATURES:

• Heavy-duty piston & connecting rod with time proven ball joint attachment.
• Oversize tapered roller bearings, which allow high radial & axial shaft loading.
• Pressure balanced shear seal plate valve design assures high volumetric efficiency & very low speed performance.
• The crankshaft eccentric rides in a heavy-duty roller bearing to assure long life & high starting torque efficiency.
• Can be used in open loop, closed loop, or series type circuits.
• Full torque at stall. Smooth rotation down to 1 r.p.m.
• Pistons are mechanically held to crankshaft reducing backpressure requirements.
• Easy to maintain.
• Some models interchange with Staffa, KYB, and Bignozzi.
• Wide variety of optional & special shafts available.
• Tachometer drives, mechanical & electric.
