Sauer-Danfoss is a comprehensive manufacturer and system integrator of state-of-the-art electronic and electrohydraulic control systems for manufacturers of both off-road and on-highway vehicles. The advanced features of our electronic control solutions, integrated with the power of hydraulics, increase machine productivity and reliability.

We meet the customer needs and provide the highest value mobile hydraulics by offering integrated vehicle systems and serving as system integrators in the design process. One way this strategy is executed is the Sauer-Danfoss and Topcon joint venture, TSD Integrated Controls. TSD integrates cutting-edge technologies for earthmoving equipment, road pavers, and curbers that require high precision grade and slope controls.

Our field proven electronic products include:

Software
Application software is the heart of any microcontroller application and Sauer-Danfoss can meet your needs. We offer standardized solutions such as PID speed control, automotive control and load control for the SX platform and custom solutions for more advanced systems. WebGPI is our standard setup and communication software. It provides a number of powerful tools for the machine system developer.

Operator/Machine Interface Devices
We offer a wide array of operator interface products, including steering wheels, joysticks, foot pedals and displays that allow precise machine operation and show complex machine information. Video cameras can be integrated with machine displays enabling operators to effectively monitor critical machine operations.

Microcontrollers/Networks
New to the arena, PLUS+1™ makes true customization and intelligent control a reality for our customers and it's perfectly suited for a broad variety of applications. Learn more about the PLUS+1™ product family.

In addition to the PLUS+1™ microcontrollers, we also have a family of standard microcontrollers which offers a wide range of machine intelligence options. From smaller scope applications on an SX controller to complete machine systems with the larger MC400 product, we have something to meet your requirements. Microcontrollers can also be connected with CAN to allow virtually unlimited growth.

Application Solutions
We also provide integrated electronic/hydraulic solution packages for machine subsystems including engine fan drive control and transit mixer transmissions. TSD, a Sauer-Danfoss joint venture with Topcon Controls, supplies sophisticated grade and slope controls to road building equipment manufacturers.

Sensors
Sauer-Danfoss speed, temperature and pressure sensors measure and transmit machine operating parameters.

Leading-edge Lift Truck Motors and Electronics

Sauer-Danfoss offers complete motion control solutions for the new generation of lift trucks using AC-motors. Our battery- powered inverters convert battery DC-voltage into 3-phase voltage to supply and control induction motors. Electric power steering transfers the motion of a steering actuator into wheel position. Our inverters are used in:

• Electric Power Steering
• Traction Drives
• Hydraulic Pump Drives

Different types – specifically designed for materials handling applications – are available:

Series A - all-purpose inverter

24, 48 and 80V, 20-600A

Series B - optimized for small pedestrian trucks

12, 24 and 36V, 60-120A

Series C - walkies, order-pickers, and small lift trucks

24, 48 and 80V, 40-480A

Series D - CB, reach, and high level order-pickers

24, 48 and 80V, 160-750A

Series E – electric power steering

24, 48 and 80V, 60-180A

We also provide a complete range of both DC- and AC-motors for battery-powered applications. With production facilities in both Germany and Denmark, and more than 35 years of experience making low voltage motors for battery-powered vehicles, Sauer-Danfoss offers high-quality products and solutions for OEMs around the world. Wound, split field, compound wound, shunt wound, and permanent magnet DC-motors are part of our product portfolio (insulation class F, IP00-IP54). Our DC-motors are used as:

Traction motors

Ø 80-325mm, 0,2-40kW, 12-200V

Pump motors

Ø 80-250mm, 0,4-25kW, 24-80V

Steering actuators

Ø 80-150mm, 24-80V, 0,05-2kW, 18:1-93:1

In addition, we offer standard squirrel-cage AC-induction motors designed with integrated feedback sensor for use with our battery-powered inverters (insulation class F, IP00-IP54). Our AC-motors are used as:

Traction motors

Size 100-300mm, 0,5-25kW, 12-200V

Pump motors

Size 100-270mm, 0,5-25kW, 24-80V, various pumps

Steering actuators

Size 100-150mm, 24-80V, 0,2-2kW, i=18:1 - 93:1
