Extra-large intermediate gear bearings | Assure longer life |
25° tooth angles | 40% greater load capacity and wear resistance than other manufacturers’ 14 1/2º tooth angles |
Built-in crop guard over U-joint | Prevents crop wrapping in or near oil seals |
Stator | Can be replaced independent of rotor and is held in place with corrosion-resistant, stainless steel bolts for easy maintenance |
Valley-exclusive coating | Applied to internal surfaces to prevent corrosion |
Watertight seal | Between housing components. |
Finned aluminum housing | For cool-running efficiency. Operates at temperatures 20° F (11° C) lower than comparable motors with steel housing because the Valley aluminum housing and fins dissipate heat more effectively. This doubles insulation life and increases motor life. |
Case-hardened steel helical gears | More teeth meshed at all times for smoother power transmission |
Drain Plug | Easily accessible and extra large |
