How much do you know about Agricultural Gearbox?

Agricultural gearboxes are the unsung heroes that power global food production. From plowing to harvesting, these critical components accurately and reliably transmit engine power to farm implements. With the intensification of industrial agriculture and rising labor costs, the efficiency, durability, and adaptability of gearboxes have a direct impact on productivity and profitability.

Unique Features of Agricultural Gearboxes

Unlike industrial gearboxes, agricultural gearboxes face unique challenges:

Extreme environments: sandstorms, mud immersion, chemical exposure

Dynamic loads: rock/stump impacts, variable terrain

Maintenance constraints: limited downtime during planting/harvesting

Operator safety: critical failure risk near moving parts

Raydafon designs gearboxes specifically for these realities with the following core principles

1.Purpose-built for agricultural applications

2.Exquisite materials and processes

Gears: 20CrMnTi/42CrMo alloy steel

Housing: GG25 cast iron or aluminum alloy

Shaft: 40Cr steel, nitride-hardened

Seals: Triple-lip fluoroelastomer composite (IP66 rating)

3.Performance-driven engineering

Torque range: 200–15,000 Nm

Ratios: 1:1.5 to 1:30

Efficiency: ≥94% (helical gears), ≥90% (worm gears)

Temperature tolerance: -25°C to +120°C

Lubrication interval: 500+ operating hours

Power take-off compatibility: SAE 1-3/8" (6/21 spline)
