Hägglunds Thunder

Hägglunds is synonymous with gearless, high-torque solutions that put power right on the driven shaft – and always will be. Now, there’s more than one route to that efficient flexibility. When torque and electricity meet, they come together in Hägglunds Thunder.

A perfect storm of speed and efficiency

Hägglunds Thunder strikes a different balance, offering highly efficient answers to specific application challenges. It delivers the familiar Hägglunds benefits, but in new ways. Those include fully variable speed from standstill to max, supplied through frequency control.

From a slightly higher nominal operating speed of 30 rpm, the motor range builds to an awesome 300 rpm. At any speed above nominal, the efficiency is nearly constant. Hägglunds Thunder rolls on and on, losing none of its intensity.

A mighty burst of shaft power

With a nominal torque range of up to 200 kNm, Hägglunds Thunder is surpassed in torque by other Hägglunds motors. But its own high torque can be paired with considerably higher speed. When the two intersect at the shaft, it means more power than ever before – up to 4300 kW.

While that may feel explosive, Hägglunds power always comes with protection. For up to 60 seconds, Hägglunds Thunder can sustain an overload of 200%.

Resounding peace of mind

The unique dynamics of Hägglunds Thunder make an astonishing first impression. But once it’s set in motion, what follows is a lasting calm. With very little maintenance, it delivers the reliability you expect from a Hägglunds solution. A built-in sensor package adds to the operating security, letting you monitor the drive status in full.
