Agricultural engineering implements

Grassland

Our tried-and-tested plain bearing solutions are used on the folding and rotating joints of the machines. As our polymer bearings work in dry operation, no grease is released into the environment. This ensures a higher feed quality.

Arable farming

Dust, vibrations and high forces characterise this area of application. High impact and edge loads put immense strain on the bearing points of ploughs, cultivators, harrows and seed drills. This is where our igutex heavy-duty bearings prove their worth. They withstand the harsh conditions and high loads and are also lubrication-free. This protects the soil from loss of lubricant.

Developed for particularly high loads

Composite bearings are a combination of different materials. For this purpose, e.g. mineral materials (glass, carbon) are interwoven, combined with synthetic resins and other additives and in some cases pressed together under high temperatures and pressure.

In our igutex plain bearings, a tough glass fibre fabric acts as the outer shell, while an inner layer optimised for sliding properties reduces friction on the shaft.

Field sprayer

The booms on a field sprayer have many folding points, which are subject to high swing and leverage forces. Here too, our fibre composite bearings made of the materials igutex TX1, TX2, TX3 and bearings made of iglidur Q3 are the right choice due to their durability.
The cables are also protected by our E2 energy chain system

Mechanical weed control

Machines for mechanical weed removal have a particularly large number of bearing points. The maintenance-free nature of the bushings plays a major role here. This is where plain bearings made from our material iglidur G are ideal. As our bearings do not require lubrication, no lubricant or grease can drip onto the field.
