Recently, the Danfoss Editron team successfully delivered its first eHydraulic power module to SANY Group, marking a significant step in the electrification of a 200-ton class lattice boom crawler crane.
Danfoss has already supplied Editron electric motors and D1P pumps for SANY's 80–150-ton cranes. For this new project, SANY selected Danfoss’s integrated eHydraulic power module to power both the traction and working systems of the crane. The system combines a Danfoss Editron synchronous reluctance-assisted permanent magnet motor with a Danfoss variable displacement axial piston pump. This integrated unit is optimized for peak performance, maximizing hydraulic efficiency and extending operational time per battery charge. The full hydraulic setup also includes Danfoss Series 90 pumps and PVG 128 valves.
The eHydraulic power module offers key advantages including compact design, simplified installation, and high reliability. By integrating the motor and pump into a single module, it eliminates the need for a flexible coupling, reducing the risks of noise, vibration, and component failure. Moreover, OEMs benefit from faster and easier assembly without the need to connect separate components.
Roy Chen, President of Danfoss Editron, emphasized the importance of this milestone, stating:
“Electro-hydraulic integration represents the future. Providing this all-in-one solution for SANY’s large-tonnage platform highlights the innovation and performance Danfoss brings to the table. We look forward to deepening our collaboration with SANY and supporting their green transformation journey.”
Henrik Jørgensen, President of Danfoss Power Solutions, also remarked:
“Conventional hydraulic technology continues to play a vital role in the electrification of heavy machinery. By integrating Danfoss’s advanced hydraulics with electrification solutions, we are enabling a smoother transition towards a more sustainable future for the industry.”
This collaboration marks a new chapter in Danfoss’s support for electrifying heavy-duty construction equipment and advancing global sustainable development goals.
