TNT-2 Gearbox
Designed for applications where the irrigation system may need to be towed
This gearbox is the perfect solution for a towable irrigation system. Growers typically prefer this gearbox over a gearbox with a towable hub. Simply disengage the worm and tow your system to its working location, then re-engage the worm and you are ready to run. The CX coupler is the perfect compliment for the TNT-2 gearbox due to the ability to control coupler disengagement at the gearbox.
The UMC patented TNT-2 final drive gearbox is designed specifically for applications where a center CHINAMFG or lateral move/ linear irrigation system needs to be towed.

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
- 2.5″ output shaft
- 52:1 gear ratio with a 25° pressure angle
- Unique dual input and output seal design
- Bronze Gear
- Heat Treated Steel Worm Gear

How to Install and Align a Worm Reducer Properly
Proper installation and alignment of a worm reducer are crucial for ensuring optimal performance and longevity. Follow these steps to install and align a worm reducer:
- Preparation: Gather all the necessary tools, equipment, and safety gear before starting the installation process.
- Positioning: Place the worm reducer in the desired location, ensuring that it is securely mounted to a stable surface. Use appropriate fasteners and mounting brackets as needed.
- Shaft Alignment: Check the alignment of the input and output shafts. Use precision measurement tools to ensure that the shafts are parallel and in line with each other.
- Base Plate Alignment: Align the base plate of the reducer with the foundation or mounting surface. Ensure that the base plate is level and properly aligned before securing it in place.
- Bolt Tightening: Gradually and evenly tighten the mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications. This helps ensure proper contact between the reducer and the mounting surface.
- Check for Clearance: Verify that there is enough clearance for any rotating components or parts that may move during operation. Avoid any interference that could cause damage or performance issues.
- Smering: Apply the recommended lubricant to the worm reducer according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Proper lubrication is essential for smooth operation and reducing friction.
- Alignment Testing: After installation, run the worm reducer briefly without a load to check for any unusual noises, vibrations, or misalignment issues.
- Load Testing: Gradually introduce the intended load to the worm reducer and monitor its performance. Ensure that the reducer operates smoothly and efficiently under the load conditions.
It’s important to refer to the manufacturer’s installation guidelines and specifications for your specific worm reducer model. Proper installation and alignment will contribute to the gearbox’s reliability, efficiency, and overall functionality.
Energie-efficiëntie van een wormwieloverbrenging: wat kunt u verwachten?
The energy efficiency of a worm gearbox is an important factor to consider when evaluating its performance. Here’s what you can expect in terms of energy efficiency:
- Typisch rendementbereik: Wormwieloverbrengingen staan bekend om hun compacte formaat en hoge overbrengingsverhouding, maar ze kunnen een lager energie-rendement hebben in vergelijking met andere typen overbrenging. Het rendement van een wormwieloverbrenging ligt doorgaans tussen de 50% en 90%, afhankelijk van diverse factoren zoals ontwerp, productiekwaliteit, smering en belasting.
- Inherente verliezen: Wormwieloverbrengingen maken inherent gebruik van glijdend contact tussen de worm en het wormwiel. Dit glijdende contact genereert wrijving, wat leidt tot energieverlies in de vorm van warmte. De glijdende beweging draagt ook bij aan een lager rendement in vergelijking met overbrengingen met rollend contact.
- Spiraalvormig wormontwerp: Sommige fabrikanten bieden tandwielkasten met spiraalvormige wormwielen aan die elementen van zowel spiraalvormige als wormwieloverbrengingen combineren. Deze ontwerpen zijn erop gericht de efficiëntie te verbeteren door spiraalvormige tandwielen in de reductietrap te integreren, wat kan leiden tot een hoger rendement in vergelijking met traditionele wormwielkasten.
- Smering: Goede smering speelt een belangrijke rol bij het minimaliseren van wrijving en het verbeteren van de energie-efficiëntie. Het gebruik van hoogwaardige smeermiddelen en een adequate smering van de versnellingsbak kunnen wrijvingsverliezen helpen verminderen.
- Aanvraagcriteria: Hoewel wormwieloverbrengingen mogelijk een lager energie-rendement hebben dan andere typen overbrengingen, bieden ze nog steeds voordelen op het gebied van compactheid, hoge koppeloverdracht en eenvoud. Daarom moet bij de keuze voor een wormwieloverbrenging rekening worden gehouden met de specifieke eisen van de toepassing, inclusief de afweging tussen energie-efficiëntie en andere prestatiefactoren.
When selecting a worm gearbox, it’s essential to consider the trade-offs between energy efficiency, torque transmission, gearbox size, and the specific needs of the application. Regular maintenance, proper lubrication, and selecting a well-designed gearbox can contribute to achieving the best possible energy efficiency within the limitations of worm gearbox technology.
Preventing Backlash in a Worm Gearbox
Backlash in a worm gearbox can lead to reduced accuracy, positioning errors, and decreased overall efficiency. Here are steps to prevent or minimize backlash:
- High-Quality Components: Use high-quality worm gears and worm wheels with tight manufacturing tolerances. Precision components will help reduce backlash.
- Proper Meshing: Ensure the worm gear and worm wheel are properly aligned and meshed. Improper meshing can lead to increased backlash.
- Preload: Applying a small amount of preload to the worm gear can help reduce backlash. However, excessive preload can increase friction and wear.
- Anti-Backlash Mechanisms: Consider using anti-backlash mechanisms, such as spring-loaded systems or adjustable shims, to compensate for any inherent backlash.
- Smering: Proper lubrication can reduce friction and play a role in minimizing backlash. Use a lubricant that provides good film strength and reduces wear.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain the gearbox to identify and address any changes in backlash over time.
It’s important to strike a balance between reducing backlash and maintaining smooth operation. Consulting with gearbox experts and following manufacturer guidelines will help you optimize your worm gearbox’s performance while minimizing backlash.
