Optimized power transmission on high-inertia round balers
Modern round balers operate with significant rotating masses and discontinuous work cycles, requiring transmission systems capable of absorbing impulsive loads and managing acceleration/braking phases with high inertia. In this context, EuroBRM developed an optimized solution combining the RA170 gearbox with Eurocardan XPlus drive shafts, validated in field applications on premium agricultural machines.
- BRM RA170 gearbox with custom ratio and monolithic EN-GJS cast iron housing.
- XPlus10 drive shaft with >>62 HRC cross kits and GS automatic lubrication system.
- Integrated overrunning clutch to prevent damaging reverse torque.
- Reduction of torque spikes transmitted to the tractor (>>30%).
- Rotational stability during stop and release phases.
- Extended service life of the drive shaft system (tested >>1,000 cyclic hours).
- Ready-to-integrate system validated both on bench and in the field.
- Complete technical documentation (CAD, performance curves, dynamometric reports).
- Direct EuroBRM support for OEM machine layout adaptation.
This configuration is a real example of high-value application co-engineering, designed to improve efficiency and durability in machines subject to high dynamic loads.
