It is very important to increase the productivity in the agriculture machinery industry. We offer a wide range which is able to reduce their total costs. Our range of standard bearings is particularly sophisticated.
It is perfectly complemented by customer-specific solutions – sometimes unconventional, but surprisingly simple. We always attach great importance to good sealing and ease of assembly.
Further to that, agricultural machinery requires robust and dependable bearing supports that are sufficiently protected against environmental conditions such as dirt, impacts, rocks, dryness, and moisture. We have many solutions, which can help maximize every farm's yield.
Rolling bearings
Keep your tractors and combine harvester in the field for longer. These machines and many others in this field are the workhorses of the industry. They have to handle long, intensive periods of work and exposure to harsh ground conditions.Safety, availability and productivity are the main drivers behind many of the industry trends, such as automation, smart functionality and power management. We offer you a wide range of rolling bearings, just explore them and if you need any advice, we would be glad to assist you.
Mounted Bearings and Housings
Our insert bearings and units for agricultural applications are relubrication-free or maintenance required and feature a robust lip seal. Designed to withstand the toughest operating conditions, these bearings and units are available in versions with a truly concentric locking method and optional corrosion protection.
Unlike the 1-3 year life cycle of conventional bearings, our Agricultural Y-bearings with 5 lip seal are built to last up to 4 years or more. Bearings and units are available in various housing shapes and materials with several sealing options.
Benefits
- 30 to 50% longer service life when fitted with 5-lip seal*
- Reduced warranty, engineering, testing and assembly costs
- Reduced maintenance and ownership costs
- Improved sealing and no relubrication for less environmental impact
Linear actuators
Farmers today face the challenge of reducing costs while increasing crop yields. Current industry regulations are already having a major impact on the engine used. Currently battery electric and autonomous vehicles are becoming more popular in the industry. EWELLIX® has a wide range of actuators and linear guides with greater load-bearing capacity and stability, speed, increased reliability, performance and safety.
With the CAHB series of linear actuators we offer a perfect and comprehensively tested solution specially developed for these demanding environments. In the cab, the curved rail guide serves as a holder for the control panel that can be positioned for maximum visibility and user safety.
Power transmission solutions
Designing your power transmission system, and keeping it running smoothly and profitably, is a complex challenge. To help you improve rotating equipment performance, we have an extensive range of products and support services.Such as our SKF Belts. Choosing higher quality belts can reduce the total cost of ownership of machinery over the long term. We offer a variety of belts, from standard V-belts to high-performance 'Xtra Power' belts that can transmit up to 40% more power than standard products.
Benefits
- Plant Belt Drive Mapping service helps raise plant efficiency
- Xtra Power products boost performance and longevity
- Calculation tools available
Lubrication & Pump systems
For decades, farm machinery owners have used our lubrication solutions to increase productivity, to improve equipment life and to maximize the return on their investment. With the combination of Lincoln and SKF lubrication portfolios and capabilities, you now have one resource for best-in-class lubrication services and advanced automatic lubrication systems.
Our lubrication products developed for farm machinery are no exception. Because our automatic lubrication systems deliver small, measured amounts of lubricant to each lubrication point, excess lubricant is prevented from making its way onto the equipment and surrounding areas.
Rod ends, spherical plain bearings
DURBAL® offers special solutions for agricultural machinery. With their Classic Line DURBAL-Glide rod ends and spherical plain bearings, they offer a longer wear and very long service life due to the greater thickness of the sliding layer compared to other sliding materials.
In order to be able to repel this dirt generally, their market competitors are obliged to attach a special sealing solution to their rod ends and spherical plain bearings or they can only offer a version that requires maintenance as an alternative. This must be relubricated at great expense regularly.
DURBAL® offers a clever solution with their injected special plastic (DURBAL-Glide). This has the pleasant secondary property of absorbing foreign bodies and enclosing them harmlessly.
Maintenance products
Help your bearing achieve its maximum service life. Every bearing has a certain service life potential. Research has shown that, for various reasons, not every bearing achieves it. Important stages which have a major impact on a bearing service life can be recognised during the bearing's lifecycle.
These stages are mounting, lubrication, alignment, basic condition monitoring and dismounting.
By applying the right maintenance practices and using the correct tools, you can considerably extend your bearing's service life and increase plant productivity and efficiency.
