Zimmatic pivots and laterals are built to last and to ensure that they do, they are equipped with several key components: Exclusive Collector Ring - It all starts at the top of the pivot point where the exclusive collector ring is mounted externally thus eliminating water flow restriction - unlike the internal design of other pivots. This helps to reduce your energy costsPositive Position Encoder - Zimmatic's precision machine-tooled encoders gives the control panel the ability to read the pivot's exact position relative to a 360° circle.Formed Outlets - Rather than relying on welded outlets that can leak over time, Zimmatic systems feature sprinkler outlets that are formed as an integral part of the pipeline. This ensures precisely matched threads for a watertight seal.Uni-Knuckle Span Connector - The heavy-duty universal joint provides stress-free flexibility on slopes up to 30 percent. Components are externally mounted to eliminate flow restriction for energy savings.Efficient Center Drive and a Rugged PowerDrive Gearbox - Every Zimmatic systems is powered by the industry's most durable and efficient drivetrain. The 43 RPM center drive motor completes a circle in under 13 hours versus 16 hours for a competitive system - a 27% savings. It also features a non-helical gear design that results in less heat, friction and overall wear. The PowerDrive gearbox is the toughest in the business as it features a hot-forged 1045 steel worm gear and a big bull gear. Two large input bearings increase load capacity by 55 percent while a cartridge seal adds extra protection against dirt and moisture. A shorter output shaft compared to other manufacturers eliminates high overhang load to extend bearing life. |
