Concentric AB awarded a new contract to supply a sophisticated hydraulic fan motor with integrated valve to a leading Chinese material handling OEM to control machine temperature

Concentric AB awarded a contract to supply a hydraulic fan motor with integrated valve and control functions to a leading Chinese material handling OEM to control engine cooling and oil temperature. This new hydraulic motor allows the fan speed to be fully variable, providing a stable machine operating temperature range allowing the material handler to work within the optimum efficiency range. Production will start in 2021 and sales revenues from this new contract are estimated to be worth MSEK 35 over the next five years.

The hydraulic fan motor units has the following key benefits:

• Controllable air flow cooling capability using proportional pressure relief valves to adjust the fan motor speed
• Reversible speed function to enable cooling radiator cleaning
• Low noise operation condition
• Compact and robust design to meet installation space requirements

Concentric’s highly efficient and industry proven hydraulic fan motor technology designed to operate in tough and demanding environments including, industrial sectors such as material handling, construction equipment and agriculture machinery applications around the world was critical to winning this new contract. Close design collaboration between Concentric and the OEM has produced a modular concept product capable of being used in many applications.
