HGD – HYDROSTATIC GROUND DRIVE

HYDAC HGD stands for Hydrostatic Ground Drive software, integrated into HYDAC’s mobile machine toolbox.

The subsystem provides pre-tested functional software blocks and architectures to control and optimize hydrostatic ground drives in mobile working machines. Almost all relevant pump and motor controls on the market are supported to be integrated into different system architectures.

Key Features of HYDAC HGD

  • Part of the Ground Drive Toolbox: Pre-tested functional software blocks optimized for hydrostatic ground drives
  • HGD supports various system architectures like central axle drive, motors in parallel or series as single wheel drive, skid steer control
  • Highlights: speed- and torque mode, automatic park brake, cruise control, electronic pressure cut off, overspeed protection, load dependent engine speed control.
  • Functional Safety: Built to support established off-highway safety functions and reduce custom development time.
  • Target Applications: municipal vehicles, construction machinery, wheel loaders, dumpers, agricultural machinery, self-propelled feeders and harvesters, combine, sprayer, forklift trucks and many more
