Agriculture
Robust, weather-resistant, reliable – just like the work in the fields.

Agricultural machinery operates under conditions that put every drive component through its paces: dust, dirt, moisture, extreme temperatures and high tensile forces – often over long growing seasons with little opportunity for maintenance. The gearbox simply has to work, come what may.

CHEMNITZER ZAHNRADFABRIK develops specialised gearboxes for agricultural applications that meet these requirements: robust, weather-resistant and low-maintenance – for main and auxiliary drives in modern agricultural machinery.

Typical requirements for the gearbox

• High resistance to dust, dirt, moisture and temperature fluctuations
• Transmission of high torques and tensile forces during continuous operation
• Low-maintenance designs for seasonal use with long service intervals
• Ability to shift under load for flexible operating modes
• Compact designs for integration into confined machine structures

What we offer

We develop agricultural transmissions for main and auxiliary drives – from shiftable PTO transmissions to multi-stage bevel-spur gearboxes for special applications. In doing so, we take into account the specific requirements of seasonal use: long service life, harsh start-up conditions and the need for minimal maintenance.

Typical gearbox types and application examples

• Single-stage spur gear transfer boxes with integrated power-shift friction clutch
• Multi-stage bevel-spur gearboxes as drive units for agricultural irrigation systems – switchable for turbine and PTO drive
• Hydraulic power-shiftable PTO gearboxes
• Front- and rear-mounted gearboxes for tractors
• Hydraulic motor gearboxes for responsive auxiliary drives
