The working environment of agricultural machinery is harsh, with a lot of dirt, moisture, and straw impurities, and it also undergoes frequent impact loads. An agricultural sprayer can have up to over 100 bearings installed. Once a bearing malfunctions, it requires maintenance, replacement of parts, and downtime, which not only incurs repair costs but also wastes precious agricultural time.
Why are agricultural machinery bearings required to be so high-quality?
Harsh environment: Agricultural machinery operates continuously under strict conditions such as dirt, dust, humidity, and fluctuating loads. Dust, straw debris, and pesticide residues may invade the bearings at any time.
High impact load: The field’s bumps and hard soil cause frequent impacts on the bearings. The impact loads on parts such as the cutter head of the harvester and the main shaft of the shredder are particularly high.
Maintenance difficulties: During the busy farming season, it is almost impossible to lubricate each of the hundreds of bearings one by one. Therefore, the sealing performance, maintenance-free nature, and reliability of the bearings are of crucial importance.
How do our VPN bearings ensure the protection of autumn harvest?
By using thickened inner and outer bearing rings: The inner and outer rings of the bearings are thickened, making them more wear-resistant and extending their lifespan.
Sealing: We adopt high-performance sealing designs (such as multi-layer sealing, dust covers, etc.) to effectively prevent dirt, straw debris, and pesticide residues from invading.
Impact resistance: We select high-quality bearing steel and undergo special heat treatment to be able to withstand the impact loads caused by field bumps.
Maintenance-free/long lifespan: The factory fills them with long-lasting lubricating grease, significantly reducing maintenance frequency and meeting the continuous operation requirements during autumn harvest.
Targeted products: UCP series, UCT series, UCF series, UCFL series, UCC series, UCCF series, etc.
