forestry industry solution

Sturdy slew drives for forestry and wood processing.

In forestry, attachments, grapples, and processing units must function reliably under harsh conditions. ATH Technik supplies robust slewing drives for forestry machinery, harvester heads, and demanding applications involving high shock loads, dirt, moisture, and alternating loads.

Typical applications

Panning, twisting, and loading under harsh conditions.

In forestry, slewing drives must operate reliably even when subjected to heavy impacts, vibrations, dirt, and changing loads. Decisive factors are a robust design, high torques, and a resilient execution for outdoor use.

01

Harvester-Aggregate

For heavy-duty applications in conditioning, movement, and controlled rotation of forestry equipment.

02

Timber grabs and cranes

Rotary actuators enable robust rotational and pivoting movements in gripper, crane, and material handling systems.

03

felling and processing technique

For special solutions where high torques, a compact installation space, and a rugged design are required.

Designed for harsh outdoor use.

Forestry machines operate under extreme conditions. Shocks, vibrations, moisture, mud, and changing loads place high demands on the components used. ATH Technik supplies robust slewing drives that are ideally suited for precisely such applications.

  • High shock loads
  • Harsh outdoor use
  • High tilting and torsional moments

What data helps with the request?

For a quick technical assessment, load data, machine class, installation space, and the attachments used are primarily relevant. From this, it can be derived which rotary actuator and which motorization make sense.

01

machine class

Information about the carrier machine or attachment helps to select the appropriate size and load capacity.

02

Load and movement

Torque, overturning moment, and required range of motion are crucial for the technical design of the slewing drive.

03

Installation space

Hole pattern, overall height, and available installation space are important for finding a suitable and cost-effective solution.
