Mobile

Cascon’s heritage is deeply rooted in the mobile market; service to the Class 8 truck market helped launch Cascon in 1988. Today, the mobile market remains a Cascon mainstay, where we design and manufacture a range of products – from simple lube pumps to multi-circuit, multi-function pumps – to suit a range of unique applications.

Since our earliest days, we’ve employed a disciplined approach to each new project, working with client specifications to determine the best, most efficient, and cost-effective solution. And whether an application calls for ground-up design and engineering or configuration of an existing Cascon product, we rely on collaboration and communication to deliver the ideal solution to suit each client’s needs.

Customer Objective

An innovative transmission design and manufacturing company began development of a new, high-power, infinitely variable transmission (IVT) product. Targeted at heavy-duty commercial and military off-highway vehicles, the transmission design required both a hydraulic boost pump and a scavenge pump. The pumps would have to address the following design challenges:

Integrate tightly with the overall transmission design
Simplify the transmission hydraulic system design
Minimize weight
Reduce part count

Cascon Solution

When the customer contacted Cascon, their engineering department had already begun work on a design for the required pump. The customer recognized that engaging our expertise in the design and manufacture of pumps would free their engineering team to focus on the new transmission product’s key features, and on the core characteristics that differentiate their company’s product line.

Cascon engineering reviewed the pump designs started by the customer’s team. While conceptually sound, the designs needed refinement to optimize performance and reliability. Cascon incorporated the necessary revisions to the pump’s internal components, which included adding load carrying capacity to the pump bearings and improvements to the gerotor pumping element profile. Working closely with the customer’s team, Cascon engineers completed the necessary system and pump envelope design iterations to arrive at an optimum mounting and interface solution, which included a through drive arrangement for powering other subassemblies in the transmission. Check and relief valves were integrated into the design to reduce the overall transmission part count and simplify the transmission fluid system design.

Cascon produced, tested and delivered prototypes for customer validation testing. While putting the transmission through its paces, the customer uncovered a need for additional output flow from the pump under certain operating conditions. The pump design was again revised to incorporate the additional displacement needed and the design was readied for serial production.

The new transmission was introduced by the customer and is being incorporated into a variety of large construction and military vehicle applications.
