General Questions
Is the system sensitive to dirt?
No, the couplings are protected by a protective cover and only released when a working unit with hydraulic is picked up.
How long is the warranty on the system?
A year.
What if there is clearance between tool holder and working device?
This is not a problem, the system tolerates the clearance between tool holder and work equipment, as the dome unit is completely withdrawn when locking the implement.
Why are the Faster couplings on the front loader broken and the high-speed oil coupler not?
We couple with an accuracy of two hundredths and we guide the couplings with even, parallel pressure on each other. The guide bolts grip 5 - 6 millimeters before the couplings even meet. This means that the O-ring must expand evenly in all directions and is not exposed to any mechanical influences.
We use the couplings from Faster, but in a technically mature system.
What happens when the clearance expands?
That's not a problem. The system is built with the maximum tolerance, then the clearance can expand in all directions by 8 millimeters and it still works.
What is the working time profit?
The gain in working hours is enormous, since the dismounting and the operation of the lines on or off complete completely eliminated. (In internal testsTests you change 13 x faster than manually.)
The process of coupling is the smallest factor in saving time, but the much more effective use of the various tools.
Can you change the tool if there is still pressure in the hydraulic line?
Yes, the automatic quick coupling system connects hydraulics and electronics to the vehicle. No oil and no hydraulic pressure is lost.
Is the quick coupler difficult to use?
No, it can be used by anyone who has changed a tool several times.
How much does a MSW quick coupler cost?
Depending on the vehicle, eg Weidemann 1350 from € 1.290, - including two clutches, pressure relief valve and locking bolt.
How much is a dome unit for a work tool?
€ 245, - a dome plate incl. 2 couplings and attachments
How much does the construction jig cost for the implement?
The model costs € 145, -, on return in perfect technical condition € 110, - will be refunded.
How difficult is the tool change?
Very easy, just drive to the tool, hook in the upper hook and lift. The rest of the MSW quick coupler makes it all by itself with its automatic coupling system for hydraulics and electronics including the locking of the implement.
Which tools are compatible with the Highspeed Oil coupler?
All tools that meet the standard. Eg bale forceps, round bale tongs, bale cutters, silage cutter, forage harvester, feed distributor, crocodile bit, crocodile bucket, high tip bucket, folding bucket, grab bucket, hydraulic pallet fork, wood grab, feed removal, littering technology, etc.
Can I attach the system to each vehicle?
For Weidemann 11 - 20 series, Wacker Neuson WL20 - WL38, Avant, and a kit for the Euro frame of the front loader.
We currently have custom made designs for Kramer, Weidemann 2080 telescopic handlers, Weidemann 4512 telescopic handlers, Terex, Avant, Fuchs, ICB and Giant running. These will be included in the series depending on demand.
Can you swap hydraulic lines with the MSW quick coupler?
No, swapping the hydraulic line is not possible with the automatic coupling system.
Why is the MSW quick coupler environmentally friendly?
With the MSW quick coupler the tool can be changed without losing oil. The automatic clutch system prevents oil loss even with residual pressure in the hydraulic line.
Is the quick coupler extra to operate?
Do I also have a hydraulic tool lock?
How then is the tool holder locked?
Do I still have to descend to lock the device?
No, the locking and unlocking and the connection and disconnection of the hydraulics is one and the same operation.
Will the "old" tool holder be taken in payment?
No, you can keep this tool holder and when you replace the machine, mount the receiver back to your vehicle. You can then mount the high-speed oil coupler on your new machine.
Is that the same as Faster?
No, the MSW Highspeed Oil Coupler is better. Here you do not need to dismount and can not tear off the cables.
Will the clutches be broken if you do not clutch without pressure?
No residual pressure is no problem, there is no need to relieve pressure.
Is it still possible to couple the device when it has stood in the sun for a long time?
Yes, that's no problem with the Highspeed Oil Coupler.
Is it possible to mount the coupler yourself?
Is there a guide for it?
Yes, with some technical understanding, this is not a problem. In addition, there is a user manual, a construction declaration for the implements and a bodywork explanation for the front loader attachment.
Do the pictures have a CE mark?
Yes, the series-ready recordings are statically calculated and have a CE mark.
Is it possible to retrofit any implement?
In principle, depending on the device with a little more or less work, it is possible.
What is the amount of work required to retrofit a device?
This is always dependent on the design of the device, on average you have to expect about 45 minutes.
Questions about the technology of the MSW Highspeed oil coupler
How do I know where to attach the bracket for the dome unit to the implement?
Is there a guide for it?
There is a jig, this is mounted in the device and specifies the position for the holder. An accurate assembly instructions, which is constantly improved according to suggestions of our customers, is also included.
How long does it take to build the system on the vehicle?
This is always dependent on the vehicle and therefore can only take about with approx., Ideally 1 h or up to 3-4 hours. This information is without time for the hydraulic structure, here it is similar. This depends on the vehicle and of course on the desired equipment (once double-acting or twice double-acting and electric).
Can I still use the quick-change system for devices that do not have a quick-change system installed?
Yes, the standards are not changed and you can still pick up any tool, or borrow some from the neighbor, which corresponds to the standard of your device.
If I need to double-interact at the moment, can I expand the system later?
Yes, you can always upgrade the vehicle and device to a maximum of 2 x double-acting and up to seven electropole. The holes are available, only the inserts have to be bought and screwed in.
Can I also connect electrical lines?
Yes, either 3 or 7 electropole can be paired with it.
Can one forget to uncouple the wires?
No, because the Highspeed Oil Coupler is carried along with the device lock, this is not possible.
Can you exchange the lines?
No, every line is firmly screwed in place and can not be reversed.
Do I still have to dismount to lock the tool?
No, the Highspeed Oil Coupler is coupled with the device lock. When you couple the implement is automatically locked / secured.
Can the system open on its own?
No, the Highspeed Oil Coupler can not open its own. The system is self-locking, it is locked by a mechanical mechanism. Even if the hydraulic hose breaks off the lock, the system remains closed.
Do I have oil loss while coupling?
No, this is limited to the oil film located on the clutches.
How much oil flow do the couplings allow?
According to Faster (clutch manufacturer), the couplings have officially 50 liter flow, but this figure is calculated at an opening of about 75%.
Why can you then achieve more oil flow?
We couple very closely on two to five tenths to open. Thus we reach the maximum flow rate.
What is the maintenance requirement?
The Highspeed Oil Coupler has three grease nipples, these are to be lubricated at the same distance as your vehicle.
Do I have to clean often?
No, the system is protected against contamination and requires no special cleaning.
Why do the couplings on the devices have no protective cover?
This is not necessary because the coupling unit is covered in the coupled state anyway. If the implement is turned off, no pollution can take place, since it is indeed removed from the work area.
What happens if dust gets on the couplings, eg if the device is switched off for a long time?
This is not a problem because the couplings couple and seal inside and thus no dirt can get into the oil circulation.
How is it in winter when snow or ice is on the clutches?
This is not a problem, it has been tested and works for the same reason, the couplings seal inside.
Is the kit mountable on every front loader?
Yes, if it has a Euro norm it is mountable.
Do I have a hydraulic tool lock?
Yes, you get these in combination with your Highspeed Oil Coupler, it would not make sense to automatically couple the leads and then disconnect the device.
Does the hydraulic tool lock cost extra?
No this is included in the kit including the locking bolts and two couplings.
How do I control the tool lock?
This is controlled by an electromagnetic hydraulic valve.
Is the electric valve included in the price?
No, as this always depends on the vehicle, some vehicles are already prepared for a hydraulic tool lock.
Are the hydraulic lines included?
No, because these are individual for each vehicle.
Do I need new hydraulic hoses for the implement?
No, in 99 percent of all cases the existing lines can be used.
What needs to be rebuilt at the Weidemann?
You get a completely new tool holder, you just have to change it and build up the hydraulics.
How much work is the rebuilding of the hydraulics?
That can not be quantified exactly, this depends on the vehicle and moves between one and two and a half hours.
What are the costs of rebuilding the hydraulics?
These can not be quantified exactly, these are always dependent on the vehicle and moves approximately between € 150, - to € 350, -.
