in Hay Rake duty<\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding:0 20px 18px;color:#444;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7\">A service factor of 1.0 means the gearbox is rated only for steady, non-shock loading at constant load. Hay Rake applications routinely produce peak loads well above continuous duty due to the conditions described. Using a 1.0 service factor unit results in tooth pitting, bearing fatigue and premature failure within months rather than years.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e6ece8;border-radius:8px;margin-bottom:10px;overflow:hidden\">\n<summary style=\"padding:16px 20px;font-weight:700;color:#1B4332;cursor:pointer;font-size:15.5px\">Choosing aluminium when ductile iron is required<\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding:0 20px 18px;color:#444;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7\">Aluminium housings save weight and cost but cannot absorb impact loading the way ductile iron can.

Maintenance for Hay Rake Gearboxes<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:15.5px;color:#444;line-height:1.75;margin-bottom:20px\">Correct commissioning of a hay rake gearbox is the single biggest factor in long-term reliability. The following procedures are derived from field reports across single rotor rakes, twin rotor rakes and similar hay rake machinery operating in Australian conditions.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color:#1B4332;font-size:20px;margin:24px 0 14px 0\">Commissioning Procedure for New Hay Rake Gearboxes<\/h3>\n<div style=\"display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr;gap:18px;margin-bottom:24px\">\n<div style=\"background:#f8faf8;padding:22px;border-radius:10px;border-top:4px solid #F4A261\">\n<h4 style=\"color:#1B4332;font-size:16px;margin:0 0 8px 0\">Pre-Run Alignment Check<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size:14.5px;color:#444;margin:0\">Verify input shaft alignment within 0.10 mm at the gearbox mounting flange.
