Right on track with Liebherr: 24 digital eyes for track construction giant

The Austrian track maintenance machines manufacturer system7 installs up to 24 Liebherr cameras in its lifting, lining and tamping machines. The MDC3 cameras show the hard-to-see areas of the complex machine, contributing to greater efficiency, comfort and safety during track maintenance work. For system7, Liebherr’s digital camera technology also means a further step towards automation and the improved cost-effectiveness of the machines.

New in Lindau and Biberach: Liebherr-Electronics and Drives GmbH

With the advancing electrification and digitalisation of the industrial and aviation sectors, the areas of electric drive technology, electronics and control technology are also becoming increasingly important. From now on, Liebherr has been bundling these core competencies in a new company, Liebherr-Electronics and Drives GmbH.

Liebherr breaks ground for new hydraulic cylinder plant in Oberopfingen

Liebherr’s components product segment is expanding hydraulic cylinder production with a new building at the Oberopfingen site. With the new plant, the mechanical production for hydraulic cylinders will join the existing main plant starting from 2024.

Missed Bauma? No problem! Experience Bauma again with the video magazine

Bauma 2022 is over. But for all those who can't get enough of the trade fair and for all those who stayed at home, the Bauma video magazine takes you up close and personal to the Liebherr booth.

Simon Ebner: from visitor to expert for hydraulic cylinders

Simon Ebner has been part of the global Liebherr family since 2014. Bauma 2022 is the first time the Team Leader Technical Sales & Distribution has worked at the Liebherr Components booth. Here he is the contact and advisor for everything regarding hydraulic cylinders. That includes the new product configurator for hydraulic cylinder series, the fibre composite portfolio and a sensor for force measurement in the hydraulic cylinder.

François Jaussi: When we love, we do not count

François Jaussi and Liebherr, that is a story that has now lasted 33 years and 12 Baumas. The Diesel Engines Sales Manager at Liebherr Components tells us what Bauma means to him.

Liebherr hydrogen excavator receives Bauma Innovation Award

The jury have made their decision: The 2022 Bauma Innovation Award in the climate protection category goes to the R 9XX H2 hydrogen excavator. This is the first Liebherr hydraulic excavator to be powered by a hydrogen engine.

5 things you may not have known about Bearing Clearance Monitoring

At Bauma 2022, Liebherr will present a digital wear measurement system for slewing bearings. Here are 5 facts about the Bearing Clearance Monitoring (BCM).

Liebherr further expands its axial piston portfolio and introduces a concept study

At this year's Bauma, Liebherr is presenting two new product developments in the field of axial piston hydraulics, along with a concept study of a parallel pump with an innovative control system.

Liebherr hydraulic cylinders: just a mouse click away

For the first time, Liebherr has made it possible to individually and easily configure all hydraulic cylinder series via an online-based configurator on the company’s website. Depending on the application and requirements, the configurator offers all kinds of variations: from the 380 bar series for mobile applications, the ISO 6022 series for industrial use all the way to the 260 bar series as a link between mobile and stationary applications. While the tool will already be available a couple of weeks before Bauma 2022, its detailed presentation to the public will take place for the first time at the show.

Liebherr: Technology-neutral drive concepts for the future

What is the drive technology of the future? Which one will save the most emissions? And is there even one single silver bullet? In fact, there are various technological options for reducing pollutant emissions, which are researched by Liebherr. In its technology-neutral approach, the company takes into account both environmental and the most diverse customer requirements in equal measure, in order to be able to serve different markets and industries. The Liebherr Group presents some of its solutions at this year’s Bauma in Munich.

Liebherr to premiere its hydrogen prototype engines at Bauma 2022

At Bauma 2022, the Liebherr components product segment is introducing two prototypes of its hydrogen engine for tomorrow’s construction sites. Each prototype employs different hydrogen injection technologies, a direct injection (DI) and a port fuel injection (PFI).

Liebherr-made grease for pitch and azimuth bearings

Liebherr has developed a lubricant, Duro Wind PBG (durable pitch bearing grease), for use in pitch and azimuth bearings of wind turbines. The grease ensures very low wear, and thus longer bearing life. Moreover, this effective lubrication shows outstanding results in terms of corrosion protection, be it moisture corrosion or false brinelling. Duro Wind PBG also impresses with its excellent characteristics at low temperatures.

360° for 100% comfort: Liebherr surround view system for mobile machines

At Bauma 2022, Liebherr's components product segment will be introducing LiXplore®, its new range of digital camera-monitor system. Depending on their needs, users can choose between different versions and intelligent additional functions. The proven components - the digital smart camera MDC3 and display controller DC5 – DC5 ensure the robustness and quality of the entire system.

Where steel ends: Clear the stage for Liebherr’s hybrid solutions in lightweight construction

Lightweight construction is considered an important trend and driver not only in construction machinery, but also all the way to stationary applications. If using suitable components can save weight, a significant benefit is generated for the application and the daily use of any equipment. Hybrid cylinders by Liebherr make a valuable contribution to it, since they are classic components made of steel in a CRP wrapping. At Bauma 2022, Liebherr will exhibit a hybrid cylinder and provide insights into further competencies and development opportunities in the fibre composite sector. In addition, the online configurator for hydraulic cylinder series will be presented, in which the hybrid cylinders within the 380 bar series-production range are also available.

Liebherr drive technology – joining the electrification trend

At Bauma 2022, Liebherr will be showing electric drives with application areas “turn-ing, driving and lifting”. With regard to the topics of climate neutrality and emission reduction, the shift towards electric, emission-free drives is already in full swing in the automotive industry. The construction industry is also closely following suit. But, how can a traction drive of a heavy, track-driven construction machine be electrified without forfeiting performance or compromising availability?
