Compact Power for

Marine Applications

Hagglunds Drives is a supplier of hydraulic drives for the marine and offshore industry and tough industrial applications.

Hagglunds Viking motors have been used on winches on board ships for more than 30 years working in tropical heat or arctic cold. In tough marine environments, day after day, year after year.

Now we have introduced the Compact motor, a smaller and lighter motor who is tailored for applications like these. The hydraulic motor is attached directly onto the drive shaft or winch drum without any gearbox or foundation.

It can be controlled fully across its entire speed range, and provides full torque from standstill to maximum rotational speed.

Furthermore, it is insensitive to shock loads and tough environments, and it stops right when you want it to, thanks to it's extremely low inertia. Direct hydraulic drives is about as maintenance-free as you can get.

Extremely powerful. And still extremely compact.

The new line of COMPACT motors has a power to weight ratio of around 1.5- 2.0 kW/kg (0.9-1.2 Hp/lb). For the first time there's a motor that lives up to the true meaning of the concept of compactness.
