The vision behind Hatz products has never changed: enable others to be more efficient by fusing professional expertise and the spirit of innovation into reliable, easy-to-use power solutions. The flywheel-integrated permanent magnet generator (fiPMG) — for use in hybrid systems, as power outage backup or for continuous power supply — proves this once again.
Features may include:
Flexibility and freedom in actionThe fiPMG generates electricity when you need it. As an onboard battery charger, this DC generator guarantees that machines always have enough power, wherever they are being used. This ensures that every job can be reliably completed, regardless of the battery’s charge status. Thanks to the intelligent CAN connection to machines’ battery management systems, the DC generator only charges batteries when machines really need it.
More performance with no compromiseEngines equipped with fiPMG are only slightly larger and heavier than normal engines. Compared to conventional flange-mounted generators, the integrated fiPMG saves on 85 percent of the weight and almost 90 percent of the installation space. The power take-off shaft, which is still available, makes the machine even more flexible in its design. If the generator is used purely as an engine, a hydraulic pump, for example, can be conventionally flange-mounted using just four screws.
Less fuel consumption, fewer emissionsThe fiPMG contributes to emission reduction by allowing for longer machine operation in battery-electric drive mode. Machines can also be operated in emission-free mode where necessary. This reduces the avtice operation time of the combustion engine and protects the environment. When operated in hybrid mode, machines can save up to 40 percent on fuel, making a significant contribution to curbing emissions.
Ready for the Internet of Things (IoT)Thanks to integrated Hatz E1 technology, the fiPMG can be integrated into fleet management systems and cloud environments via mobile communications. Operators are able to remotely access the most important operating parameters and monitor the condition of the drive. The fiPMG also allows geofencing and the implementation of future business models such as pay-per-use.
Limitless operationThe 1B30E and 1B50E engines with fiPMG are the only engines on the market today certified as both Stage V and Tier 4 final across their entire speed range. Machine manufacturers benefit from less component variability and are able to develop units that can be operated in both the EU and the US, including California, without any adjustments to the engine.
Always ready for useThe fiPMG shows its strengths in applications where maximum reliability is required. Thanks to onboard battery charging, there is no risk of safety-relevant devices failing. This ensures that machines always remain ready for use regardless of their battery’s charge status or the availability of an external power supply. This is particularly important for construction infrastructure, like electric road signs and lighting systems, for example.
