The first fully domestic automatic transmission has been released

The development of the unit and its production were carried out entirely in Russia, without the use of imported components. The automatic transmission has become a "breakthrough project" that is guaranteed to increase the technological sovereignty of agricultural engineering.


The Russian automatic transmission has a number of differences from its foreign counterparts. In particular, for powerful heavy tractors The 3000 series provides for the installation of a parking brake integrated into the automatic transmission and equipped with hydraulic control. This allows for a wider use of the possibilities for using automation, both for the transmission and the entire tractor.

High-performance agricultural machines of the 3000 series are now equipped with imported automatic transmission Caterpillar TA22.

RSM PowerShift is a high-performance product in terms of torque transmission from the engine. The gearbox ensures prompt switching of modes without interrupting the power flow. This is also facilitated by a clutch with several disks. The automatic transmission is designed for sixteen forward speeds and four reverse. For the most "running" range from 7 to 20 km / h, nine gears are provided. There is also a forced option for engaging a particular speed.

Until now, there were only five companies in the world capable of producing the complex automatic transmission of the PowerShift system. Now Russia has joined them. The new unit, designed to work in combination with a 440-620 hp engine, is currently undergoing bench tests. Field testing will also take place this year: Rostselmash 3002 4WD tractors will be used.

In February last year, the Russian agricultural holding launched a new enterprise for the production of tractor axles, gearboxes and gearboxes. These mechanisms are used in both agricultural and special equipment. The total investment in the plant amounted to 10 billion rubles. Of these, 4,7 billion rubles were allocated for the development of gears and shafts alone. It is worth adding that Rostselmash is a company operating at a profit, the size of which reached 94,2 million rubles last year.

The company's management is looking further: other automatic transmissions are already being developed, designed for use with lower-power engines - in the range of 170-600 "horses".
