Agricultural Gearbox Suppliers

Our Mission is to manufacture the highest value power transmission systems for agricultural, mobile off-highway, and industrial equipment manufacturers. XLT has manufacturing and assembly centers around the world.XLT designs, manufactures and distributes enclosed gear drives utilizing straight bevel, spur, spiral bevel, helical and worm gearing.

XLT began supplying power transmission equipment for agricultural machinery in 2001. Today, we are a world class manufacturer supplying gearboxes, specialty forgings, and custom gears globally for a variety of industries and applications.

Gearboxes

The gearbox is the main mechanical component of the kinematic chain of agricultural machines. It is normally driven by the tractor power take-off via the PTO shaft and the gearbox drives. The operating torque can also be transmitted to the gearbox by hydraulic motors or belt pulleys, in addition to chain gears.

Gearboxes always have one input shaft and at least one output shaft. If these shafts are positioned at 90° to each other, the gearbox is an ORTHOGONAL ANGLE gearbox or more commonly called a right-angle gearbox.

If the input and output shafts are placed parallel to each other, the gearbox is known as PARALLEL SHAFT gearbox.

Based on the gears and the number of teeth, the XLT range of gearboxes includes:

Increasers and Reducers

When the gearboxes have the two gears with different numbers of teeth.

The gearbox is a reducer when the driving gear, i.e. the one with the input shaft, has the fewer number of teeth (pinion), thus the output shaft rotates slower than the input shaft.

It is called an increaser when the input shaft is mounted on the gear with the larger number of teeth (crown), thus the output shaft rotates faster than the input shaft.

XLT is able to design and manufacture also agricultural machinery applications.
