Electrification: Can You Keep the Driveline?
Featured Product from jbj Techniques Limited
Replacing a diesel engine does not automatically mean replacing the equipment it drives. The mechanical interface deserves examination before the retrofit arrangement is decided.
In one project, jbj Techniques connected a 250 kW electric motor to an existing SAE clutch arrangement while preserving the option of returning to diesel power.
An 800 mm diameter cast iron bellhousing and custom coupling arrangement connected the motor shaft to the required SAE 14 flange configuration.
The design considered mounting, installation space, alignment, torsional characteristics and future servicing.
Discuss your existing driveline with jbj to assess the mechanical integration requirements of an electrification project.
