In the agricultural equipment pictured, Zero-Max VRT Infinitely Variable Ratio Transmissions are used as the mechanical interface of the electronic controls and the seed metering mechanism.

Zero-Max’s VRT Infinitely Variable Ratio Transmissions provide the vital operating link between advanced control systems such as GPS (global position systems) and the mechanical dispensing mechanisms used in precision seeding machinery.

Can be used as the mechanical interface of the electronic controls and the seed metering mechanism
All internal parts machined to strict and consistent tolerances
Ensures accurate seed dispensing for exact spacing over the entire cultivated field
Seed placement accuracy is maintained even when equipment ground speed varies
Provides mechanical consistency and transmission accuracy enabling equipment’s electronic controls to operate precisely in varying seeding conditions
Ruggedly designed to operate in harsh environments
Aluminum housing locks in mechanical drive components
Drives are pre-lubricated during assembly and completely enclosed in the heavy-duty housing
Maintenance-free design ensures that internal parts are lubricated and free of contamination from outside debris
Helps make precision farming more efficient and profitable
