Direct Drive - no gearbox
📞 1 225-424-8804Direct Drive - no gearbox
The key to good performance is the ability to spin the blade at the right speed, with the right amount of torque to overcome resistance and put pressure on the cutting surface.
At Echidna, we try to optimise our designs to give greatest cutting efficiency for the blade diameter required.
For this reason, we have chosen our motors carefully so that there is no gearbox between the motor and the output shaft.
The result is
- maximum efficiency
- reduced weight
- compact unit with narrow body
- minimal maintenance required
Other Echidna Diamond Rocksaw Features
Through-Hub Water Distribution
Improve blade life and cutting rates with optimised water distribution.
Reversible Blade Spin
For site protection and horizontal cutting.This is a feature of all Echidna diamond tipped saws, including high speed and multiple blade models.
Narrow body for trenching
One of our design criteria is to minimise the width of the saw, to allow it to be inserted into trenches.
Bearing Hub
The construction of the front bearing hub and its sealing arrangement gives a life time warranty for protection against any dirt entering the bearing space and even allows to use the saw fully submerged in water.
Adjustable shield
Composite, rotating safety shield provides maximum protection and allows flush cutting
Rotating Stand
The standard stand for all Echidna diamond saws has a rotating cradle. Rotating the cradle allows easy regripping if cutting on alternate sides of the excavator.
Convert to Multiblade saw
The robust construction of the spindle bearing support or all of the Echidna diamond rock saws allows for the mounting of two or more blades, with an offset spacer for cutting of trenches.
Trenches from 20mm up to 500mm in width can be cut this way.Multiple blades can be fitted for quarrying finished slices of stone.
For wider trenches, we recommend using our DX2 range of diamond saws, with blade(s) on either side of the saw.
