Future Demands of  Agricultural Gearboxes

for Agricultural Machinery

Agriculture will rely more frequently on its machinery as planting cycles shorten to meet food needs. Increased equipment usage naturally leads to increased gear tooth wear and the need to replace parts. Incidentally, replacement parts revenue will account for a significant portion of the gear and bearing revenue in the agricultural equipment industry. In developed countries, where agriculture-related mechanization is more prevalent than in other parts of the world, the rate is as high as 50 percent. In other countries, the share of spare parts is between 33% and 50%.

High-quality spare parts for gearboxes are essential for agricultural applications. Worn equipment can cause significant losses to farmers who are the primary end users of the equipment. Worn gears are less efficient due to frictional losses, which can lead to a decrease in the quality of the harvested crop. Thus, high-quality agricultural gearboxes are essential.
