Mechatronic controls

Product catalog summary

Introduction
This document provides an overview of Flexball Italiana's mechatronic control systems, which integrate electrical and mechanical commands through electronic and computing logic. These systems are customizable for various applications.

Lever 1300 Specifications
The Lever 1300 series is designed to control hydraulic pumps for machine motion. It combines a Hall effect sensor-generated voltage output with a mechanical push-pull cable. Key specifications include:

Lever ratio: 11:1
Mechanical angle: ±25 degrees
Mechanical stroke: 50 mm
Voltage output signal: 0.50 V (forward), 2.25 V (neutral), 4.50 V (reverse)
Standard connector: 3 poles wire Deutsch DT

Additional features include the option to mount up to three push buttons, a rocker, or a miniature joystick on the handle.

System 1350 Overview
The System 1350 is an automatic control system aimed at reducing fuel consumption and wear on excavators, backhoes, and wheel loaders. It includes:

Control lever 600 or on-off switches for engine speed control
Mechanical actuator for speed adjustment based on hydraulic circuit pressure
Push-pull cable and electrical connections to pressure transmitters
Keypad for setup programming

Field tests show significant fuel savings, with up to 3 liters saved per day for back loaders and up to 2.5 liters per hour for 20-ton excavators. The system offers a payback period of approximately six months for small backhoes.

Energy Efficiency
The System 1350 optimizes machine speed to match operational needs, reducing unnecessary power generation and energy loss. This results in improved fuel efficiency and environmental benefits.

Conclusion
Flexball Italiana's mechatronic controls offer customizable solutions for efficient machine operation, with proven benefits in fuel savings and reduced environmental impact.

LEVER 1300 This series of mechatronic controls is used to command the hydraulic pump for the motion of the machine. The lever combines a voltage output, generated from a Hall effect sensor, with a mechanical push-pull cable. A wide range of sticks with different bending and lengths fulfil most of the application requirements. On the handle can be mounted up to 3 push buttons, a rocker or a miniature electrical joystick. ratio: 11:1 • Lever angle: ±25 degrees • Mechanical stroke of the push-pull cable: 50 mm • Mechanical Voltage output signal • 0.50 V in forward position • 2.25 V in neutral position...

AN ENERGY SAVER AND ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY DEVICE The machine is usually set at its nominal speed, in order to generate the hydraulic power necessary to fulfil the most energy consuming operation. Most of the time however, the hydraulic circuit is generating more power than necessary and the excess of power is uselessly dissipated. If we consider how it works an excavator, the operator is selecting a fixed number of RPMs, which will not be changed for the whole working day, independently if the machine is standstill or digging. The power required in the two operating modes is different and the...
