The role of bearings and seals

The current arable farmer is under increasing pressure; production must go up and costs down. This requires machines that can be used flexibly, can work faster under high loads and are available to the maximum. Especially during the high season, machines must be available 24/7 and there is actually no time for unplanned maintenance. 

SKF knows better than anyone under which conditions agricultural machines have to perform. What role do bearings, seals and lubricants play in this process? And how can predictive maintenance help you extend the life of your machine? Read the article>>

PEER Agriculture solutions 

Every generation of farmer wants to do better than the generations that came before. Farmers today have access to more technology and equipment that helps them be as productive as possible. But downtime, whether it’s unplanned or scheduled maintenance, can impact that productivity and reduce efficiency.

SKF Y-bearings – developed specifically for agricultural 

The expanded range includes the ideal solution for each application and specific machine design, making it possible to build more value into the machine design, reduce warranty costs, reduce the number of suppliers – and stay ahead of the competition.

Solid design, solid benefits

In order to meet the industry’s demands of improved protection against contaminant ingress, better shaft balance and locking strength, we have now developed a new range of ball bearing units – the UC range. 

SKF Mudblock seal design MUD11 is a new generation of cassette seals, specifically developed for heavy-duty applications in harsh environments and tough operating conditions including agriculture and construction vehicles.

Benefits

• Increase seal service life by up to 50%
• Reduce friction by up to 20%
• Increase productivity by extending service intervals
• No need for expensive shaft machining thanks to the integrated counter face
• Minimise environmental pollution risk
  

SKF Cassette Seals MUD 11

Wheel-end bearings in agricultural equipment are expected to endure long, intensive work periods during which they are exposed to water, mud, straw and other contaminants. Front and rear wheel axles in certain construction equipment face equally grueling conditions. 

• Up to 50% longer service life and 20% less friction
• Interchangeable and easy to handle and install
• Increased productivity
• Reduced maintenance
• Lower operating costs
