When CTLs first emerged, equipment manufacturers had to select from existing track motors, which weren’t optimized for the machine, so compromises had to be made. Even with innovations in both direct-drive and two-stage motors, no motor technology emerged as superior.

In this webinar, Todd Degler, Product Manager for Geroler motors at Eaton Hydraulics, will explain advancements in direct-drive motor technology and how they have enabled them to be used in CTLs. Key benefits are smarter, more efficient machine designs for today and the future.

The webinar will compare the benefits and limitations of direct-drive and two-stage motors in CTLs. Participants will gain a better understanding of the three critical factors that affect motor design and learn how Eaton’s new HP50 Geroler motor addresses the issues operators experience with their current motor.

The webinar will be broadcast live at 11:00 EDT on Thursday, July 28. However, if your schedule prohibits you from attending the live webinar, you can catch an archived version after that.
