Parker Hannifin has developed an hydraulic saw motor that automatically maintains an optimum cutting speed of 40m/s, for 35% faster cutting. In addition to boosting productivity with quicker and more even sawing, the new F11-iP motor avoids over-speed conditions, minimising the cost of maintenance and downtime.
The F11-iP motor uses fast hydraulic control circuit to maintain the optimum chain speed throughout the entire log, unlike conventional motors, which surge in speed as the saw enters and leaves the log and slows down in between. This constant speed, which is automatically adjusted to match the timber quality, enables the chain to work at maximum efficiency, with all available power going straight to the log. The result is faster sawing and far less bucking splits.
The motor uses Parker’s Intelligent Power technology to reduce the damage to motors, chains and entire hydraulic systems, which is common in aggressive timber cutting applications. With equipment providing longer, lower maintenance service life, considerable reductions can be made in downtime and associated costs. Furthermore, by minimising heat losses, Parker’s PowerBoost technology helps to reduce fuel consumption, for more affordable, greener sawing.
The F11-iP is supplied factory set for optimum efficiency, with the gear ratio tailored to the machine in which it is to be fitted.
