Mechanical M1S and hydraulic H1S tilt coupler with power unit

M1 For carriers from 2t to 3.5t

Compliant with standards EN474-1 and ISO13031:2016

As a major designer and manufacturer of tools and quick fasteners, ACB+ designs its couplers in the respect of the geometries imposed by the machine manufacturers. Thus, machine performance is entirely conserved.

Its very compact design (no protruding actuator or hoses) makes the ± 90° tilt power coupler perfect for working in small spaces. In addition, all moving parts are operating in an oil bath, which reduces maintenance work.

Advantages of the mechanical M1S and hydraulic H1S tilt coupler with power unit

  • Power-driven inclination ± 90°
  • Power unit internal parts are operating in an oil bath, which reduces maintenance work.
  • Extremely simple to installation, due to the use of an ancillary line for the inclination (proportional control strongly recommended)
  • Coupler is compact for working in narrow trenches
  • Compatible with all tools in Morin Original System the original S, CW and SW systems

Description

Functions: Maximum performance

The tilt power coupler is of narrow construction and is the ideal coupler for roads and networks working, and for creating and maintaining embankments. It will enable you to use smaller trenches and to access more extreme positions. The hydraulic power unit allows this coupler to provide ± 90° inclination at constant torque.

Reliability and compactness

The tilt  mechanical M1S and hydraulic H1S power coupler provides precision and strength for all your finishing work

The patented inclination function is based on an elliptical piston and a helical gear system to provide the inclination.

Installation is easy and quick due to the use of a simple proportional ancillary line from the excavator.

To ensure that the inclination is maintained, a dual non-return valve may be installed as an option.

Easy maintenance:

All the power unit internal parts are operating in an oil bath, which reduces maintenance work..

The power unit assembly is protected by a casing, which is reassuring, particularly when working in narrow trenches.

The power unit is protected by robust mechanical stops at its travel limits.

Simple to use:

Only a few movements are needed to lock the tool.

For the mechanical tilt power coupler: Unlocking with the smart key unhooks the tool with a single action.

For the hydraulic tilt power coupler:  Unlocking by simply pressing the control unit in the cab unhooks the tool. In the case of a hydraulic problem, the H2S coupler can be unlocked using a standby key, thus providing service continuity 

Easy identification of module:

The module is easily identified through the use of a colour code on the safety stop and on the unlocking key. This advantage is particularly appreciated in multi-module installations.

The module ident. is also engraved the couplers and tools.

The colour applied to the M1S and H1S couplers is red.

Compatibility:

The tilt mechanical M1S and hydraulic H1S power coupler is suitable for mini-excavators from 1.5 to 3.5 tons. It is equipped with a lifting ring, designed to be used with the shackles recommended by ACB+.

All the tools in the Morin Original system M1, can be used with the tilt mechanical power coupler, which is pinned onto the machine with the original pins.

The tilt mechanical power coupler is also available with Nordic S, Verachtert CW and Liebherr SW original systems.

Double SAFETY SYSTEM:

The tilt mechanical M1S and hydraulic H1S power couplers are compliant with standards EN474-1 and ISO13031:2016

The tilt mechanical power coupler M1S, like all the mechanical couplers in the Morin Original system, has a dual safety system comprising an:

  • Automatically activated stop that prevents any risk of cam backward movement – patented system
  • Cam equipped with the patented Form-lock system that prevents any risk of unlocking if the safety stop fails

The tilt hydraulic power coupler H1S, like all the hydraulic couplers in the Morin Original system, has a dual safety system comprising a:

  • Double-action hydraulic actuator, permanently pressurised, to hold the cam in the locked position
  • Cam equipped with the patented Form-lock system that prevents any risk of accidental unlocking

The overall system is equipped with an indicator that is visible from the cab, to visually confirm proper locking.
