Wheel loaders for manifold applications

The eye-catching weycor wheel loaders by Atlas Weyhausen are used in construction industry, agriculture, garden and landscaping, materials handling or recycling. Currently the portfolio includes 16 different types of wheel loaders with standard shovel capacities from 0.32 m³ to 2.5 m³ and an engine power from 33,5 HP (24.6 kW) to 218 HP (160 kW). Having a service weight of 7,000 kg and a shovel capacity up to 1.5 m3, type AR530 is one of the medium size types in the portfolio. The wheel loader is equipped with a water-cooled 4-cylinder DEUTZ engine series TCD 3.6 L4 High Torque with 3.6 litres capacity and a maximum power of 55 kW.

KTR was charged with selecting the cooling system. A triple-circuit combined cooler type MMC is used for cooling charge air, cooling water and hydraulics. Another KTR component is mounted on the flywheel side. Here a BoWex flange coupling type FLE-PAC connects the flywheel to the hydraulic pump. The curved-tooth gear coupling serves for compensating for the displacement in the drive train. Subject to its high torsion spring stiffness it prevents critical resonances in addition, thus significantly contributing to protecting the adjacent components and the overall power pack.
