Solution
With iglidur plain bearings, a bearing solution was found that can withstand the high weight loads and the difficult ambient conditions in the long term. For example,
iglidur plain bearings were used in the system, which also offer the advantage of being completely grease-free and low-maintenance. This specification helps considerably in marketing the system successfully, as agricultural machinery is often not properly maintained, resulting in early functional failures and considerable costs. The plastic bearings also offer a more cost-effective and wear-free alternative to bronze bushes or bearings and can also be replaced much more easily without damaging the shafts/tubes. Finally, the bearings are also completely corrosion-free. Since using the iglidur bearing solution, the crawler track has been running smoothly in all weather conditions.
