⭐ Belangrijkste kenmerken en technische voordelen

🔬

18CrNiMo7-6 Aerospace Gear Steel

Vacuum-carburized gears from aircraft-grade alloy achieve HRC 60-63 surface and a tough pearlitic core, meeting AGMA Class 10 tooth accuracy standards.

98%+ Power Delivery Efficiency

Mirror-polished flanks (Ra ≤ 0.4 μm) and AGMA Class 11 accuracy virtually eliminate parasitic losses, ensuring every horsepower reaches the cutting blade.

🚀

4140 Chrome-Moly Output Flange

Forged steel output flange heat-treated to HRC 28-32, drilled for heavy-duty blade carriers up to 50 kg — eliminating the flex found in cast alternatives.

💪

GGG-60 Heavy-Plate Housing

EN-GJS-600-3 ductile iron with 18 mm walls and FEA-optimized ribbing, engineered for sustained 150+ HP loads without measurable housing flex.

Drukgestuurde interne oliepomp

De tandwielaangedreven micropomp handhaaft een positieve smeerdruk bij alle kritieke contactpunten, waardoor veilig gebruik mogelijk is op hellingen van meer dan 40° zonder olietekort.

Lichtgewicht AlSi7Mg T6-behuizing

De behuizing van een aluminium-siliciumlegering met T6-harding biedt een uitstekende warmtegeleiding voor een koelere werking en een natuurlijke corrosiebestendigheid in natte hooimaaiomgevingen.

📚 Gids voor het kiezen van een versnellingsbak

Proper gearbox selection protects your investment and maximizes field productivity. Here is how to determine if the EP-RC61 is right for your operation:

📌 Keuze tussen 540 tpm en 1000 tpm aftakas
The EP-RC61 operates at 540 rpm. Most rotary mowers use 540 RPM PTO. The 1000 RPM standard is for larger implements on high-HP tractors. Never connect a 540 RPM gearbox to a 1000 RPM PTO — the doubled speed will destroy bearings and gears within minutes.
📌 Gietijzeren behuizing versus aluminium behuizing
The EP-RC61 uses a grey cast iron housing. Cast iron excels in vibration damping, impact resistance, and heat dissipation — ideal for rough, rocky mowing conditions. Aluminium is lighter and more corrosion-resistant, better suited to wet environments and weight-sensitive implements.
📌 Standaardcatalogus versus specificaties op maat
The EP-RC61 is available as a standard catalog item shipping in 3-5 days. If your application requires a non-standard ratio, shaft type, or mounting configuration, our engineering team offers custom designs with 4-6 week lead times. Minimum order quantities may apply.
📌 Output Shaft Type Compatibility
The EP-RC61 features 1 3/8 Z6, Taper spline output. Verify your blade hub or implement rotor accepts this shaft type before ordering. We offer multiple output configurations — spline, taper, keyway, and flange — to match virtually any existing installation.
📌 Weight and Mounting Considerations
At 36.5 Kg, the EP-RC61 is designed for mid-size utility tractor attachments. Confirm your implement frame and three-point hitch can support this weight plus the weight of the blade assembly. Mounting bolt pattern and orientation should match your existing layout.

🛠 Installatie- en configuratiehandleiding

  1. Gebruik Nord-Lock-ringen of schroefdraadborgmiddel op alle bevestigingsbouten om losraken door trillingen tijdens gebruik te voorkomen.
  2. Run the gearbox at no load for 5-10 minutes, then shut down and re-check oil level — new seals and bearings often absorb a small amount of initial oil.
  3. Clean the implement mounting surface thoroughly, removing all rust, old gasket material, paint flakes, and debris that could prevent flush contact with the gearbox flange.
  4. Position the gearbox onto the mounting studs or bolt holes, verifying the input shaft faces the tractor PTO and the output shaft aligns with the blade hub or rotor.
  5. Ensure the PTO shaft has at least 50% spline overlap in all operating positions. Inadequate overlap causes rapid spline wear and potential shaft separation.
  6. Record the installation date, tractor hour meter reading, and gearbox serial number in your maintenance log for warranty and service interval tracking.
  7. If replacing an existing unit, drain the old oil completely, remove mounting fasteners, and carefully lower the old gearbox. Photograph the orientation and note any shim washers used.

❓ Veelgestelde vragen

❓ What happens if I accidentally run it dry?

Stop the PTO immediately. Even a few minutes without oil causes severe gear scoring and bearing damage, typically requiring a full internal rebuild. Always verify oil level before engaging the PTO.

❓ How should I store the gearbox off-season?

Run briefly to warm the oil, then top up to the full mark. Apply grease to exposed shaft surfaces and seal any open ports. Store in a dry, covered area. Before next season, verify oil level and rotate input by hand to check free movement.

❓ Can I replace just the gear set?

Yes. Replacement gear sets are available for all models and are cost-effective when the housing, bearings, and shafts remain in good condition. We recommend replacing bearings and seals simultaneously for best results.

❓ Can this gearbox handle reverse PTO rotation?

Our spiral bevel designs operate correctly in both rotational directions without modification. However, check your specific implement requirements, as some mower blade assemblies are direction-sensitive.

❓ What maintenance checks should I perform regularly?

Before each use: check oil level, inspect for leaks. Every 50 hours: grease external fittings if equipped. Every 200 hours: change oil, inspect seals and bearings. Annually: open casing and visually inspect gear tooth surfaces for pitting or wear.
