At Conexpo, Dana Incorporated has debuted comprehensive offerings for the global construction, mining, and material-handling industries that include Spicer drivetrain solutions and newly acquired Brevini power-transmission and fluid power solutions.

Dana has exhibited a complete drive and motion system for 50- to 100- tonne wheeled and crawler cranes that demonstrates the company’s market-leading position that can manage power conveyance to move machines and also perform the work functions of the machine. This system includes a Spicer transmission, driveshafts, and axles, as well as a Brevini slew drive, motor/winch system, splitter box/pump drive, proportional directional valve, and two mobile planetary travel drive options.

Dana also unveiled new Brevini solutions for the construction industry, including a new line of motor/winch systems for cranes that deliver superior load control, as well as a new compact power-transmission solution for asphalt and concrete plants.
“For many decades, customers have trusted Dana and Brevini to supply high-quality solutions engineered to perform reliably in the harshest operating environments,” said Aziz Aghili, president of Dana Off-Highway Drive and Motion Technologies. “CONEXPO-CON/AGG provides a prime opportunity for us to show our customers the technological and supply-chain benefits of using a single source that can integrate the mobility and work functions of heavy-duty machinery.”

Dana announced in February that it completed the acquisition of the power-transmission and fluid power businesses of Brevini Group, S.p.A. The combination of Brevini into Dana’s business creates numerous opportunities for growth. Among them, the acquisition:
– increases Dana’s addressable market for off-highway driveline systems by providing access to tracked vehicles in that segment;
– significantly broadens the opportunities in industrial markets – an important segment that Dana has served for more than 70 years;
– provides a platform of proven technologies that can be offered to Dana’s on-highway customers;
– and accelerates Dana’s hybridization and electrification initiatives.

Brevini technologies purchased by Dana include a wide range of highly engineered mobile planetary hub drives; planetary gearboxes; hydraulic pumps, motors, and valves; and advanced electronic control systems. Brevini’s expertise in cylindrical gearing and planetary hub gears supplements Dana’s long history and market leadership in spiral bevel and hypoid gear technologies. Brevini’s technology portfolio increases the patents and patents pending for Dana’s off-highway business by 33 percent.
