Polymer bearings replace wearing brass bearings in slurry tankers

The new bearings work in the axle system of the tanker despite heavy soiling

Profile

  • What was needed: Robust plain bearings for the oscillating steering axle
  • Requirements: heavy soiling from dirt and slurry, aggressive ammonia cloud affects all components, high stress on all parts during the season due to continuous use
  • Industry: agricultural engineering
  • Success for the customer: The susceptible brass bearings were replaced by completely maintenance- and lubrication-free iglidur® bearings. The new bearings are robust, insensitive to dirt and dust and have a longer service life due to their low friction properties.

Problem

Solution

"The wear on the brass bushes was too high. Therefore, we were glad that the polymer bearings finally provided an effective alternative, because the plastic bearings are simply more robust."
