Overload clutch in the conditioner.
The rippers are mounted on shafts mounted in rotation in the arm, in tapered roller bearings. They are driven by a V-belt transmission, which also acts as an overload clutch. In the event of overloading of one of the scarifiers, the V-belt slips. The tension of the V-belts is adjusted using special two-arm tensioners. The diagram of the conditioner drive and their speed control is shown in the figure. Drive from the tractor power take-off shaft is transferred through a conical gear transmission to a belt-wedge transmission and further - to the rotating shafts of the conditioners. The eradicator rotational speed is changed by mutual replacement of pulleys. The plow mower is equipped with pulleys of two diameters. If larger diameter pulleys will be mounted on the vertical shaft of the bevel gear, then the rippers will rotate at a higher speed - 360 rpm [37,7 rad/s]. This higher rotational speed of the conditioners is used for the cultivation of more compact soils. If smaller diameter pulleys are installed on the vertical shaft of the bevel gear, the rippers will rotate at a slower speed, i.e.. 270 rpm [28,2 rad/s]. The slower rotation of the conditioners is used for the cultivation of less compact soils. The tractor power take-off shaft should rotate independently of the tractor gearbox ratio. Adjusting the plowing depth and the width of the first furrow in the plow cutter and its leveling are performed according to the same principles, what about ordinary mounted plows.
