2020 Valley Irrigation X-Tec® Center Drive Motor

The Valley® X-Tec® center drive motor delivers the ultimate combination: top-performing speed for quick irrigation cycles and dynamic power to take on the toughest terrain. Featuring Valley FastPass™ technology, you can apply a light application of irrigation to cool crops, improve chemigation and foliar applications, and deliver even greater uniformity. Patented alignment technology and a robust DC motor keep your center pivot moving at a smooth and consistent pace, even over varied terrain.

Features may include:
  • More efficient: FastPass technology delivers continuous movement, operating up to twice as fast as standard AC motors.
  • Full torque: Advanced DC drive delivers full torque at any speed.
  • Add strength: Steel gears provide more strength than powdered metal.
  • Longer motor life: Aluminum finned housing runs 20° cooler for a longer motor life with no paint to chip, scratch or corrode.
  • Less corrosion: Internally vented junction box prevents moisture and contaminants from corroding the wire connections.
  • Durable: Crop guard protects shaft seals for extended life.
  • Reliable: Integral pinion gear eliminates coupler and improves reliability.
  • Quieter operation: Helical gears create more tooth contact than spur gears, providing more torque capacity and quieter operation.

  • Extra-large intermediate gear bearings: Assure longer life | 25° tooth angles: 40% greater load capacity and wear resistance than other manufacturers’ 14 1/2º tooth angles | Built-in crop guard over U-joint: Prevents crop wrapping in or near oil seals | Stator: Can be replaced independent of rotor and is held in place with corrosion-resistant, stainless steel bolts for easy maintenance | Valley-exclusive coating: Applied to internal surfaces to prevent corrosion | Watertight seal: Between housing components. | Finned aluminum housing: For cool-running efficiency. Operates at temperatures 20° F (11° C) lower than comparable motors with steel housing because the Valley aluminum housing and fins dissipate heat more effectively. This doubles insulation life and increases motor life. | Case-hardened steel helical gears: More teeth meshed at all times for smoother power transmission | Drain Plug: Easily accessible and extra large
