The ESM350 is a high performance transmission developed and volume manufactured by SESM for retrofits of T-72/T-90 type vehicles. With a power range from 600 to 850kW, it features eight speeds forward and 3 speeds reverse, an infinitely superimposed steering system and a high performance braking system. It is suitable for T-72/T-90 new series as well as for upgrading program. The integration process is very easy and preserves the original silhouette of the vehicle.
Technical characteristics:
- Powerpack design especially for T-72 vehicles and derivates
- Manual and fully automatic power shifting
- Mechanical emergency gear shift system
- Electronically controlled automatic start-up clutch
- Infinitely variable hydrostatic superimposed steering system
- Pivot turn and neutral turn on the spot at infinitely variable speed
- Integrated multi-disks service and parking brake
- Power-take-off for T-72 genuine power units like dynamo-starter, air compressor etc..
- Power-take-off for fan drive with fully digital speed control and cut off
- Engine can started by towing the vehicle
Superior mobility by the addition of an automatic powershift transmission and increased engine power (up to 1150 hp):
- Top speed of 70km/h and 23 km/h reverse, start-up on 60% slope for a 50 tons vehicle
- Increased vehicle speeds even with inex-perienced drivers, especially in difficult terrain
- More intelligent use of engine power and elimination of driver error thanks to the electronic transmission control
- Increased operating range, reduced fuel consumption, reduced heat emissions
and cooling needs
Enhanced operation in hot climatic conditions due to the high performance cooling system:
- Drastically increa sed cooling air flow compared to conventional design
- Automatically and permanently optimized fan speed adapted to cooling needs to minimize power losses
- Increased engine lifetime due to a more stable engine coolant temperature
- Availability of full engine power even in extreme hot conditions
- Option to switch off the cooling fans for special operations such as fording
