Growers typically use The UMC 760-UV bronze gearbox for the most extreme applications where an extended output shaft is required. The gearbox is designed for higher annual hours of operation while handling the heavy loads experienced on corner systems and lateral move carts as well as the most extreme field conditions where wheel rutting is prominent, soil is heavy, and tower weights are higher.
The UMC 760-UV Bronze final drive gearbox is our largest and most durable gearbox with an extended output shaft designed for the most extreme growing conditions. It features a high strength aluminum bronze bull gear and a heat treated steel worm gear giving it a much higher load capacity than the standard 760-UV. Additionally, this gear combination greatly reduces gear wear, extending the useful life of the gearbox. It also features a 2.5″ output shaft to accommodate more overhung load. It is designed for use on center pivots, corners, lateral move/ linear irrigation systems and carts where a 52:1 gear ratio and extended output shaft are standard specifications.
Features and Benefits

Factors in Selecting the Right Irrigation Gearbox
Choosing the appropriate irrigation gearbox involves considering several key factors to ensure optimal performance and water distribution efficiency:
- Irrigation Method: Different irrigation methods (pivot, linear, drip, etc.) have specific gearbox requirements. The gearbox must match the motion and distribution pattern of the chosen method.
- Load Capacity: The gearbox should be able to handle the load imposed by the irrigation equipment, including the weight of pipes, hoses, and sprinklers.
- Adjustability: For pivot and linear irrigation, the gearbox should allow for precise adjustments to control the radius of coverage.
- Environmental Conditions: The gearbox should be designed to withstand exposure to water, moisture, dirt, and varying weather conditions.
- Speed and Torque: The gearbox’s speed and torque specifications must match the requirements of the irrigation system’s movement and water distribution needs.
- Durability: The gearbox should have a robust construction to ensure a long lifespan, even in challenging agricultural environments.
- Efficiency: An efficient gearbox minimizes energy consumption, contributing to overall system efficiency.
- Compatibility: The gearbox must be compatible with the other components of the irrigation system, including motors, control systems, and actuators.
- Maintenance: Easy access for maintenance and servicing is crucial to prevent downtime during critical watering periods.
- Cost: Balancing performance and cost is essential to ensure that the selected gearbox provides the best value for the investment.
By carefully evaluating these factors, farmers and agricultural professionals can choose the right irrigation gearbox that meets the specific needs of their irrigation system and contributes to efficient water distribution and crop growth.
Real-World Examples of Irrigation Systems Using Gearbox Technology
There are several real-world examples of irrigation systems that utilize gearbox technology to enhance water distribution and efficiency:
- Pivot Irrigation Systems: Pivot irrigation systems are commonly equipped with gearboxes to facilitate the movement of the irrigation arm. These gearboxes allow the arm to rotate and cover a circular area, ensuring even water distribution across the field.
- Linear Move Irrigation Systems: Linear move systems, also known as lateral move systems, use gearboxes to control the movement of the irrigation pipes along a linear path. These systems are often used in rectangular or square fields.
- Drip Irrigation Systems: Some advanced drip irrigation systems incorporate gearboxes to regulate the pressure and flow of water in the drip lines. These gearboxes ensure uniform water delivery to each plant, minimizing water wastage.
- Center Pivot Systems: Center pivot irrigation systems, which consist of a rotating sprinkler arm, utilize gearboxes to control the rotation and movement of the arm. This technology enables efficient water distribution across large agricultural fields.
- Subsurface Irrigation: In subsurface irrigation systems, gearboxes are used to control the movement of buried drip lines. These systems deliver water directly to the root zones of plants, reducing evaporation and surface water runoff.
- Automated Irrigation: Many modern automated irrigation systems employ gearboxes to control valves, pumps, and other components. These systems can be programmed to deliver water at specific times and rates, optimizing water use.
- Remote-Controlled Irrigation: Remote-controlled irrigation systems utilize gearboxes to enable precise adjustments and control of water distribution from a central location, reducing the need for manual adjustments in the field.
These examples demonstrate how gearbox technology enhances the efficiency, accuracy, and water conservation capabilities of various irrigation systems in agriculture.
Role of an Irrigation Gearbox in Pivot and Linear Irrigation
Irrigation gearboxes play a crucial role in both pivot and linear irrigation systems by facilitating the controlled movement of irrigation equipment and ensuring efficient water distribution:
Pivot Irrigation: In pivot irrigation systems, a central pivot point supports a rotating arm with sprinklers attached. Irrigation gearboxes are used to drive the pivot movement, allowing the arm to rotate around the pivot point. As the arm moves, the sprinklers distribute water over the field in a circular pattern. The irrigation gearbox controls the speed and direction of the pivot, ensuring uniform water coverage and preventing overwatering or underwatering in specific areas.
Linear Irrigation: Linear irrigation involves the movement of irrigation equipment along a straight line across the field. Irrigation gearboxes are used to drive the motion of the irrigation equipment, which can include sprinklers, drip lines, or other water distribution devices. The gearbox controls the speed and direction of the movement, ensuring that water is evenly distributed along the length of the field. This method is particularly useful for rectangular or elongated fields.
Both pivot and linear irrigation systems rely on irrigation gearboxes to regulate the movement of irrigation equipment, leading to efficient water distribution and optimized crop watering. The use of irrigation gearboxes enhances water management and contributes to the overall success of agricultural irrigation systems.
