Rotary rake gearboxes are essential components in agricultural machinery, specifically designed for hay and forage equipment. They transmit power from the tractor to the rake wheels, enabling efficient gathering and windowing of crop residues. These gearboxes are built to withstand harsh field conditions, offering durability and reliability for farmers and agricultural professionals. With precision-engineered gears and robust housing, they ensure smooth operation and longevity, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Understanding their specifications and features is crucial for selecting the right gearbox for your equipment.
Our rotary rake gearboxes incorporate advanced engineering to deliver superior performance in the field. They are crafted from high-quality materials, such as hardened steel gears and cast iron housings, to resist wear and corrosion. Key features include efficient power transmission, easy integration with various rake models, and minimal maintenance requirements. These gearboxes are designed for optimal torque handling and speed reduction, ensuring consistent operation even under heavy loads. Additionally, they come with sealed bearings to protect internal components from debris and moisture, extending their service life.
Below is a detailed list of parameters for our rotary rake gearboxes, highlighting their technical aspects. These specifications are based on standard models, and custom options are available upon request to meet specific agricultural needs.
| Model Number | Gear Ratio | Max Input Speed (RPM) | Output Torque (Nm) | Weight (kg) | Price Range (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RRG-100 | 1:1 | 540 | 800 | 15 | $200 - $250 |
| RRG-200 | 1.5:1 | 750 | 1200 | 20 | $280 - $330 |
| RRG-300 | 2:1 | 1000 | 1500 | 25 | $350 - $400 |
Rotary rake gearboxes are primarily used in agricultural machinery for tasks such as hay tedding, raking, and windowing. They are compatible with various equipment, including wheel rakes and rotary rakes, enhancing efficiency in crop management. Benefits include reduced fuel consumption due to optimized power transmission, increased crop yield through consistent operation, and lower operational costs from decreased wear and tear. These gearboxes are ideal for farms of all sizes, supporting sustainable farming practices by minimizing environmental impact through reliable performance.
What is the typical lifespan of a rotary rake gearbox?
With proper maintenance, such as regular lubrication and inspection, our rotary rake gearboxes can last over 5,000 hours of operation. Factors like usage intensity and environmental conditions may affect longevity, but high-quality materials ensure extended durability.
How do I choose the right gear ratio for my equipment?
Select a gear ratio based on your tractor's PTO speed and the desired output speed for your rake. For instance, a 1:1 ratio is suitable for standard speeds, while higher ratios like 2:1 provide slower output for finer raking tasks. Consult your equipment manual or our technical support for guidance.
Are these gearboxes compatible with all tractor models?
Yes, our gearboxes are designed to be universally compatible with tractors having standard PTO systems (540 or 1000 RPM). They feature adaptable mounting options, but always verify the specifications match your tractor's output to avoid compatibility issues.
What maintenance is required for rotary rake gearboxes?
Routine maintenance includes checking lubricant levels every 250-500 hours, inspecting seals for leaks, and cleaning external surfaces to prevent debris buildup. Use recommended lubricants to ensure optimal performance and avoid overheating.
Can I repair a damaged gearbox, or should I replace it?
Minor repairs, such as replacing seals or bearings, are possible if detected early. However, significant internal damage often necessitates replacement to ensure safety and efficiency. Our gearboxes are designed for easy serviceability, but cost-effectiveness may favor replacement in severe cases.
Do you offer warranties on your rotary rake gearboxes?
Yes, we provide a standard warranty of 1-2 years, covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms may vary based on the model and usage conditions; refer to the product documentation for detailed information.
How does weather affect the performance of these gearboxes?
Our gearboxes are built with IP65-rated protection, making them resistant to dust, water, and extreme temperatures. However, prolonged exposure to harsh conditions may require more frequent maintenance. Store equipment properly when not in use to prolong life.
What are the signs that a gearbox needs servicing?
Common indicators include unusual noises (e.g., grinding or whining), overheating, oil leaks, or decreased performance. Address these issues promptly to prevent further damage and maintain operational efficiency.
