DRIVE TRAIN

DRIVING THE LOAD

The Reinke drive train is engineered to give you years of trouble-free service. Its high efficiency gear motor delivers exceptional torque to propel your system over the roughest terrain and difficult soil conditions. Every detail of the wheel gearbox has been engineered to carry the load of the system and deliver remarkable strength throughout the field.

CENTER DRIVE

The Reinke center drive is engineered to provide years of trouble free service. The 95% efficient helical gear design is enclosed in an all aluminum case for cooler running temperatures, longer life and increased corrosion resistance. Three output RPMs are available (29, 43 and 70) to match tire size and rotation times for specific system requirements. The Reinke center drive delivers exceptional torque to propel the system over the roughest terrain and most difficult soil conditions.

Shock absorbing 3/4″ steel drive shafts help extend gear life by reducing the starting stress on gears. All Reinke systems come standard with high torque capacity couplers which are self aligning and grease free. Steel U-joints are optional. All systems feature covers for both the drive shaft and couplers as standard equipment.

WHEEL GEARBOX

EVERY DETAIL HAS BEEN ENGINEERED MAKING A POWERFULLY BUILT GEARBOX

The heavy duty, 50:1 ratio Reinke wheel gearbox has a large 2-1/4″ diameter output shaft and a flange made of high strength steel to carry the load. The input bearings are the largest in the industry and provide 55% greater load capacity for larger tires and faster rotation times.

​The cartridge style input and output seals utilize a multi-lip design and precision ground, polished sealing surface to eliminate oil leaks. The unique rolling diaphragm minimizes pressure build up during operation. Relieving negative pressure prevents water and contaminants from being drawn into the gear case.

  • New high torque gears enable greater load capacity
  • Extra long stud bolts allow use with reinforced rims
  • 13-bolt mounting pattern is compatible with most pivot brands
  • Provides years of reliable service

1.  Stainless steel diaphragm cover provides years of corrosion-free life.

 

2.  The largest input bearings in the industry provide 55 percent greater load capacity for today’s larger tires and faster rotation times.

 

3.  New polished, high torque worm gear with dual input shafts eliminates the need to stock lefts and rights.

 

​4.  Seal protector blocks out contaminants and extends seal life.

 

5.  Unique rolling diaphragm design minimizes pressure build-up during operation.  Relieving negative pressure prevents water and contaminants from being drawn into the gear case.

 

6.  Centering ring doubles as a load-bearing surface, relieving stress on the lug bolts and lessening potential wheel damage.

 

7.  Large 2 1/4″ diameter output shaft and flange made of high-strength steel to handle tower loads.

​8.  Cartridge style input and output seals utilize a multi-lip design and precision ground, polished sealing surface to eliminate oil leaks.

 

9.  Reinforced housing provides more material in high stress areas, increasing overall strength on the gearbox.  Multi-bolt mounting pattern fits most brands.

 

10.  End cap is machined from cast steel to handle the higher loads from larger tires.

 

11.  Input shaft cover protects against seal and shaft damage.

 

12.  Non-seizing drain and fill plug for easy maintenance.

 

13.  Bull gear, designed for greater tooth contact, resulting in higher load capacity and longer life.

 

14.  Dual input shafts allow for universal mounting on either end of tower base.

​TOWABLE GEARBOX

Like the non-towable version, it possesses the same high quality features and components. This gear box gives the towable systems flexibility to be moved around to different locations.
 

EVERY DETAIL MATTERS

Fine-tuning your Reinke system includes proper tire selection to ensure your system performs at the highest level. A variety of tire options provide the ability to match span weight and tire sizes to soil and terrain conditions, maximizing performance while minimizing wheel rutting.

TITAN 320/85R38 RADIAL TIRE

The Titan 320/85R38 radial tire reduces compaction and provides greater flotation and traction due to the lower pressure required of radials. 

​The load rating is much higher than standard 6-ply tires making it ideal for use on swing arm corners or other longer and/or heavier spans.

TITAN NON-DIRECTIONAL TIRE

The Titan 14.9 x 24 non-directional tires are ideal for part circle systems or any system that is required to travel equally in both forward and reverse directions. 

​The 14.9 x 24 size also produces a larger foot print to minimize tracking and provide greater flotation in the field.

RIGID THREE-WHEEL TOWERS

Reinke three-wheel towers provide the additional flotation needed for soil types that easily rut and/or require the additional traction to prevent getting stuck.  Our three-wheel tower option is not only more efficient and more economical than competitive four-wheel tower options but it also adds less weight to the system with fewer components to maintain.  Our rigid three-wheel option is also more cost effective than many two-wheel tower options while providing greater performance.  ​The use of three tires may reduce wheel rut depths by 40% to 60% or more.

FLEXIBLE THREE-WHEEL TOWER BASE

Our patented, award-winning flexible tower base keeps all three tires on the ground at all times, even while traversing the most difficult terrain.  The Flexible Three-Wheel Base places a more consistent load on the drive train even while providing power to all three wheels. Keeping all three wheels on the ground reduces the load on each tire and improves flotation, thereby reducing wheel ruts.  Using three tires per tower can provide 1.5 to 3 times as much ground surface area as two 11 x 22.5 recap tires depending on which tire option is chosen.  ​

AGRI-TRAC

  • The Agri-TRAC provides 1.5 times as much ground surface area as the 11 x 22.5 recap tire. 
  • Its concave shape and unique rolling action may reduce wheel rut depths by 30% or more. 
  • The tire tread bars mesh with the Agri-TRAC treads and will not slip inside the track. 
  • ​The Agri-TRAC is warranted for one year against defects in materials or workmanship. 
  • The Agri-TRAC is hot dip galvanized to prevent rust and corrosion.​
