Revolutionary Technology
The Science Behind Our Innovation
At the heart of Cascade Drives' breakthrough lies our patented CD Gear technology— a fundamental reimagining of how steering systems can work in heavy vehicles.
Traditional hydraulics mean fluid leaks, degradation, and regular replacement.
CD Gear: Revolutionary Force Distribution
Our patented CD Gear technology solves the fundamental challenge that has prevented electric steering in heavy vehicles through innovative multiple gear design.
CD Gear Innovation
Multiple small gears distribute force evenly, reducing stress on individual components and enabling reliable operation under heavy loads.
Traditional Approach
Single large gears concentrate all force on fewer contact points, leading to premature wear and failure under heavy vehicle loads.
Why CD Gear Changes Everything
Multiple Small Gears vs Single Large Gear
Distributes force across more contact points, reducing stress and improving durability.
Lower Inertia Design
Significantly reduces system inertia for faster response times and more precise control.
Built-in Shock Absorption
Prevents gear teeth damage under heavy loads through innovative force distribution.
Equal Force Distribution
Each gear carries an equal load, preventing premature wear and extending system life.
