Lubrication-free plastic bearings in harvester mowers for over 20 years

The components of mowers are exposed to extreme stress.

Problem

Solution

Metal-to-metal contact is always difficult with moving components. In addition, we were looking for a bearing that did not require lubricants, because the farmer did not want to lubricate and in the very dusty environment this would quickly lead to strong dirt adhesion.

Bearing point with iglidur plain bearing

Ideal bearing for extreme conditions

An iglidur bearing bushing guides the pivoting cutter bar in the base frame of the mower deck. Very high radial and axial loads occur, which the iglidur bearings have successfully mastered for years.
