⭐ Viktiga funktioner och tekniska fördelar
🌡️ Compact Profile
Reduced external dimensions allow installation in tight spaces on finishing mowers, small rotary cutters, and compact implements where conventional cast iron gearboxes cannot fit.
📈 Multiple Ratio Configurations
Available in 1:1, 1:1.35, 1:1.46, 1:1.9, and 1:2.91 ratios to suit a wide range of compact mowing and cultivation applications.
⚙ Precision Spiral Bevel Gears
20CrMnTi alloy steel gears with carburizing hardness to 58-62 HRC housed in a lightweight body — delivering the same gear durability as cast iron models at 40% less weight.
🛡 Die-Cast Aluminum Alloy Housing
ADC12 die-cast aluminum alloy body weighing as little as 4 kg provides excellent corrosion resistance and heat dissipation — perfect for coastal and humid farming environments.
💧 Dual-Lip Viton Seal System
Viton (FKM) oil seals offer superior chemical resistance and 30% longer seal life versus standard NBR seals, maintaining leak-free operation in temperature extremes from -40°C to +200°C.
⚡ Superior Heat Dissipation
Aluminum housing dissipates gear mesh heat 3x faster than cast iron, preventing thermal degradation of lubricant and extending oil change intervals by up to 50%.

🔎 Urvals- och storleksguide
Aluminum gearboxes are the right choice for specific applications. Use this guide to determine whether the EP-RV012 fits your requirements:
⚙ Matcha utväxlingsförhållandet till tillämpningen
Förhållande 1:1 till 1:1,5 — Minimal hastighetsreduktion; används när redskapets blad-/pinnarhastighet ska matcha kraftuttagsvarvtalet noggrant. Vanligt för finklippare och lättare applikationer.
Förhållande 1:1,5 till 1:2 — Måttlig vridmomentökning med proportionell hastighetsminskning. Lämplig för vanliga rotorklippare, medeltunga gräsklippare och universalredskap.
Förhållande 1:2,5 till 1:3+ — Hög vridmomentförstärkning för tunga laster. Oumbärligt för rotorkultivatorer, grävmaskiner och röjsågar som arbetar i tätt material.
⚡ Matcha traktorns hk med växellådans effekt
Välj alltid en växellåda med en nominell effekt (hk) som är lika med eller större än traktorns maximala kraftuttagseffekt. Att köra en växellåda över sin nominella effekt orsakar överhettning, snabbare kugghjulsslitage och för tidigt haveri. Som en god praxis, bibehåll en säkerhetsmarginal på 10-20% över din faktiska driftsbelastning.
🔄 540 varv/min vs 1000 varv/min — Vilket kraftuttagsvarvtal?
540 varv/min kraftuttag is the standard for most agricultural implements under 100HP. The EP-RV012 is designed for 540 RPM input. 1000 varv/min kraftuttag används på traktorer med högre hästkrafter (vanligtvis 75 hk+) och kräver en växellåda som är specifikt klassad för den hastigheten. Anslut inte en växellåda på 540 varv/min till ett kraftuttag på 1000 varv/min utan en hastighetsadapter.
🛡 Aluminium kontra gjutjärnshölje
AluminiumBäst för kompakttraktorer under 25 hk, kustnära/fuktiga miljöer och tillämpningar där vikten spelar roll (gräsklippare, små rotorklippare). Utmärkt värmeavledning och korrosionsbeständighet.
GjutjärnKrävs för medeltunga till tunga tillämpningar över 25 hk. Överlägsen stöttålighet och strukturell styvhet för röjning, tung gräsklippning, kultivering och grävning av efterhål.
🔧 Standard vs. specialväxellåda
Våra standardmodeller täcker 90% av vanliga jordbruksväxellådor med monterings- och axeldimensioner enligt branschstandard. För OEM-tillverkare eller unika redskapsdesigner som kräver icke-standardiserade utväxlingar, axelkonfigurationer eller monteringsmönster erbjuder vi fullständig kundanpassad tillverkning med en MOQ på så lite som 50 enheter.

🛠 Installations- och installationsguide
Follow these steps to install the EP-RV012 on your implement. Always refer to the included instruction manual for model-specific torque values and safety precautions.
- Disconnect the PTO shaft and secure the implement on a stable surface with the mower deck raised and supported.
- Remove the existing gearbox by unbolting the mounting flange. Aluminum gearboxes are lightweight — a single operator can handle removal and installation.
- Clean the mounting surface on the implement. Check for corrosion or irregularities that could prevent a flat seal.
- Position the new EP-RV012 aluminum gearbox on the mounting flange. Align input and output shafts, then insert mounting bolts. Torque to 35-45 Nm (reduced torque for aluminum threads — do not over-tighten).
- Connect the PTO drive shaft to the input spline. Verify engagement depth and install the shear bolt.
- Check oil level at the side fill plug. Top up with SAE 80W-90 synthetic gear oil if required.
- Run at low PTO speed for 5 minutes. Listen for abnormal noise and check for oil leaks around seals and gaskets.
❓ Vanliga frågor
Is the aluminum housing as strong as cast iron?
For their rated power range (3-23HP), ADC12 aluminum alloy provides more than adequate structural strength. These gearboxes are designed for light-to-medium duty applications where weight savings and corrosion resistance are priorities.
Can I use this on a standard 540 RPM PTO?
Most models are rated for 540 RPM input. The EP-RV010 is rated for 450 RPM maximum. Always verify the rated input speed for your specific model before installation.
How do I prevent galvanic corrosion with steel shafts?
Our aluminum gearboxes use anodized internal surfaces and nylon thrust washers at steel-aluminum interfaces to prevent galvanic corrosion. No additional treatment is needed under normal conditions.
What is the recommended oil for aluminum gearboxes?
Use SAE 80W-90 synthetic gear oil for optimal heat dissipation and protection. Aluminum housings run warmer than cast iron, so synthetic oil with superior thermal stability is strongly recommended.
Why choose aluminum over cast iron housing?
Aluminum gearboxes are 40-60% lighter, dissipate heat faster, and resist corrosion far better than cast iron. They are ideal for compact tractors (under 25HP) where reduced implement weight improves maneuverability and fuel efficiency.
💬 Kundrecensioner och fältrapporter
“Parfait for our small vineyard mower. The aluminum does not corrode from the copper sulfate spray residue like our old cast iron gearbox did.”
— Henri D., Provence, France
“Nice lightweight unit for my 20HP tractor. Runs smooth and quiet. Good value for a finishing mower application.”
— Mike S., Oregon, USA
“Very good gearbox for our greenhouse operations. Light enough for our small tractors and the aluminum does not rust in our humid tropical conditions.”
— Anh N., Lam Dong, Vietnam
“Replaced a corroded cast iron gearbox on our coastal property mower. The aluminum EP gearbox shrugs off the salt air. Should have switched years ago.”
— David W., NSW, Australia
“Lightest mower gearbox I have used. My compact Kubota handles the finishing mower so much better now — less strain on the 3-point hitch. And no rust after a year in our wet climate.”
— Steve B., Tasmania, Australia
