• Wide-angle joint P450 wins Silver Award at the Italian agricultural machinery EIMA show
  • Jury recognised high and safe performance of the wide-angle joint
  • Large constant angles and 50 degrees maximum angle of the joint is possible

On the occasion of EIMA International, the leading Italian trade show for agricultural machinery, taking place from 7th to 11th November in Bologna, the wide-angle joint P450 will be distinguished with an Innovation Award.

This was announced to the EIMA show corporation by the expert jury.

The wide-angle joint P450 represents the latest generation of Walterscheid wide-angle joints and belongs to Walterscheid’s new Ultra.Plus System.

The joint is characterised by many innovative features including low-wear centre bearing. The centring is now achieved without a friction-laden guide hub, and the use of a hinge bearing serves to reduce pressure. Furthermore, the centring system is now completely sealed off from external influences.

This prevents both dirt from entering and lubricant from escaping. The new Power Drive wide-angle joint P450 was specifically developed for constant-angle applications, and is characterised by very smooth running also at high rotational speeds. The maximum shaft angle of the joint is 50° – a clear advance on competitors' products, some of which achieve angles of 43° only.

In addition, the Power Drive P450 wide-angle joint is featured with all of the characteristics, which are typical for the Walterscheid Power Drive series, such as dirt-repellent multi-lip seals, and a zero-maintenance concept, due to the fully sealed centre unit.
