Press release

Market-leading high-efficiency Shifting Solutions developments to be exhibited

Latest fuel-saving technologies for transmissions to be displayed at

EIMA International 2012 by Oerlikon Graziano

Rivoli Italy, 31 Oct 2012 Oerlikon Graziano will exhibit its latest advances in

transmission technology for off-highway vehicles at the EIMA International Agricultural

and Garden Machinery Exhibition, in Bologna, Italy on 7-11 November, Hall 20-booth A42.

Among the technologies on display by the company will be the latest in Shifting

Solutions - synchronizers and clutch packs - that help to deliver increased efficiency,

improved vehicle performance and reduced cost.

The new synchronizers save fuel in two ways: by optimizing the shift to minimize torque

interruption and by reducing steady-state drag torque in the transmission. They combine the high

durability and high performance of Oerlikon Grazianos existing long life synchronizers with a new

internal activation system which allows to increase further performance, efficiency, and reducing

operative costs.

Fuel saving is becoming a worldwide challenge for all OEMs in the agricultural and off-highway

vehicles market. New machines target 20 to 30 percent better fuel efficiency than their

predecessors, explained Andrea Serra, Product Manager Synchronizers and Powershift Design,

Oerlikon Graziano. Our new synchronizer technology offers a step-change improvement in fuel

efficiency for the next generation of heavy duty transmissions.

The new technology, termed Servo-Synchronizer, has been designed especially for off-highway

transmissions. It uses innovative internal devices which generate a self energizing effect, allowing

to increase efficiency, especially in those application presenting high drag torques. Shift

performance exceeds that of a single cone and is comparable to a standard double cone

assembly of the same dimensions but with a lower cost. Other benefits include reduced demands

on the control system, lower weight and quieter operation.

Recognized as the world leader in synchronizers for agricultural applications, Oerlikon Graziano

produces around 1.000.000 synchronizers per year for agricultural tractors, construction

equipment, passenger cars and trucks. The company will exhibit products from a range that runs

from 62 to 170mm diameter and includes single, double and triple cone solutions, and its range of

carbon synchronizers that help to increase the reliability and longevity of construction and

agricultural transmissions.

Oerlikon Graziano will also demonstrate its proven capability in the design and manufacture ofpower-shift clutch pack units that use the most advanced manufacturing techniques, including

electron-beam welding. The company fits these units on all power-shuttle and power-shift

agricultural and construction industry transmissions and has the capability to design, develop and

test complete power-shift clutch units to customer specifications.

Some components of an innovative powershift transmission, comprising a double clutch for

powershuttle function and a single clutch with an integrated safety brake device for PTO function,

have been completely designed, developed and manufactured by Oerlikon Graziano. The shifting

sequence is managed by a powershift module, resulting in an almost seamless gear shifting with

no torque interruption.

In-depth interviews with a number of Oerlikon Grazianos senior technical managers may be pre-

arranged through the companys press contacts, and scheduled during the exhibition. In addition

to Andrea Serra, Salvi Piazza, Head of Gear and Drive Solutions will be available.
