    For Immediate Release. Versalift & Mercedes Benz Unimog Join Forces

    26th May 2017 Ref: AB/03/17 – LAT-38-150-H Press Release: For immediate release. Versalift & Mercedes Benz Unimog Join Forces Date: 26 May 2017 Closer ties: Versalift Managing Director Cameron Burnett, right, and Director Andy Bray, centre, are pictured with Mercedes-Benz Head of Special Trucks – Unimog Bernhard Dolinek, and the versatile U218 access platform Unveiled! All-new Mercedes-Benz Unimog-based Versalift platform offers high performance at low cost. The vehicle made its world debut on the Versalift stand at last week’s (24-25 May) Vertikal Days exhibition, a major European showcase for lifting and access equipment. Truck-mounted access platform market leader Versalift and the team responsible for the legendary Mercedes-Benz Unimog in the UK have joined forces to launch an exciting new model. Based on a Unimog U218 implement carrier with nominal 7.5-tonne gross weight, it is designed to provide utilities companies with a compact, fast and reliable off-road package for work on low-voltage power lines in difficult-to-reach areas, at a highly attractive price. Following the Vertikal Days event, which took place at Silverstone, the new truck is being made available to operators for trial – although Versalift has been mounting its equipment on Unimog chassis for many years, this is the first time the two have invested together in a joint demonstration unit. The Mercedes-Benz Unimog is renowned for its unrivalled combination of on-road speed and all-terrain capability. The new vehicle is fitted with an all-steel boom and platform that offers a maximum working height of 15 metres.

    Lotus and Eaton's Electrohydraulic Closed-Loop Fully Variable Valve Train System

    J.W.G. Turner and S.A. Kenchington Lotus Engineering, Norwich, UK D.A. Stretch Eaton Automotive, Southfield, Michigan, USA Production AVT Development: Lotus and Eaton's Electrohydraulic Closed-Loop Fully Variable Valve Train System Entwicklung eines Serien-AVT-Systems: Lotus’ und Eatons elektrohydraulischer voll variabler Ventiltrieb (AVT) 1. Introduction Lotus and Eaton are collaborating to bring a production closed loop control Fully Variable Valve Timing system, known as Active Valve Train (AVT), to market in the 2008-9 timeframe. The system uses electrohydraulic operation, movement of the engine poppet valves being initiated by oil flow into and out of a hydraulic chamber which is controlled by fast acting electrohydraulic servo valves developed by the two companies. This in turn allows infinitely variable timing, duration and lift. The system, which is currently being engineered in prototype form for an OEM, will allow ready application of many advanced engine control strategies, such as throttleless operation, Controlled Auto Ignition (or Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition), fast start, variable firing order, differential cylinder loading and ultimately air hybridisation. However, to gain acceptance in the marketplace, the two partners understand that productionisation must not come at the expense of high Bill Of Materials cost, and in controlling that requirement, the performance of the system must not be allowed to suffer. This paper relates the present developmental status of the system from a valve control standpoint and describes some of the design features which have been adopted to fulfil the above requirements. An estimate of BOM costs for a typical light duty automotive application is also given.
  • Modeling of Tractor Fuel Consumption

    Modeling of Tractor Fuel Consumption

    energies Article Modeling of Tractor Fuel Consumption Bronisław Andrzej Kolator Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Oczapowskiego 11 Street, 10-719 Olsztyn, Poland; [email protected] Abstract: In this paper, the energy diagnostic of tractor performance consists in evaluating the energy (fuel consumption per hectare—dm3 ha−1) for a given agricultural operation and in combining it with working capacity, also called productivity (area productivity—ha h−1). One of the methods of solving this problem is the identification of the functioning process of the machine unit. A model of the process of the machine unit performance was developed, considering the operation of the rear linkage system of the implement with the force control adjustment system. In order to analyze the system, a mathematical model of the system function was built: tractor-implement-soil, defining the physical connections and interdependencies between the individual subsystems of the system. Based on this model, a simulation model was developed and implemented in the Matlab/Simulink environment. The Simulink package was used to test the performance of the machine set. The efficiency indicators according to the adopted criteria were calculated in the evaluation block. To evaluate the process, the technical and operational parameters of the tractor, the type and parameters of the tool, and soil properties were taken into account. The results of simulation studies obtained on a validated model are consistent with experimental data from appropriate soil conditions.

However, tractors have qualitative and quantitative attributes that must be simultaneously integrated into the evaluation process. This article reports a hybrid and multi-attribute approach to assessing a set of agricultural tractors based on AHP-TOPSIS. To identify the attributes in the model, a survey including eighteen attributes was given to agricultural machinery salesmen and farmers for determining their importance. The list of attributes was presented to a decision group for a case of study, and their importance was estimated using AHP and integrated into the TOPSIS technique.

    Transmission (Mechanics) - Wikipedia 8/28/20, 119 PM

    Transmission (mechanics) - Wikipedia 8/28/20, 119 PM Transmission (mechanics) A transmission is a machine in a power transmission system, which provides controlled application of the power. Often the term 5 speed transmission refers simply to the gearbox that uses gears and gear trains to provide speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device.[1][2] In British English, the term transmission refers to the whole drivetrain, including clutch, gearbox, prop shaft (for rear-wheel drive), differential, and final drive shafts. In American English, however, the term refers more specifically to the gearbox alone, and detailed Single stage gear reducer usage differs.[note 1] The most common use is in motor vehicles, where the transmission adapts the output of the internal combustion engine to the drive wheels. Such engines need to operate at a relatively high rotational speed, which is inappropriate for starting, stopping, and slower travel. The transmission reduces the higher engine speed to the slower wheel speed, increasing torque in the process. Transmissions are also used on pedal bicycles, fixed machines, and where different rotational speeds and torques are adapted. Often, a transmission has multiple gear ratios (or simply "gears") with the ability to switch between them as speed varies. This switching may be done manually (by the operator) or automatically. Directional (forward and reverse) control may also be provided. Single-ratio transmissions also exist, which simply change the speed and torque (and sometimes direction) of motor output. In motor vehicles, the transmission generally is connected to the engine crankshaft via a flywheel or clutch or fluid coupling, partly because internal combustion engines cannot run below a particular speed.
