Water, dust, dirt: plain bearings in farm loaders under extreme environmental conditions

Profile

• What was needed: iglidur G plastic plain bearings
• Requirements: Alternating environmental conditions, constant contact with water, dust, dirt and a wide variety of chemicals as well as heavy impact loads
• Industry: Agricultural industry, agricultural machinery manufacturing
• Success for the customer: The iglidur plain bearings are maintenance-free and lubrication-free, insensitive to dust and dirt and extremely robust; overall, the service life of the bearing points in the farm loaders could be significantly extended; unlike metallic bushings, the plastic plain bearings do not have to be rubbed down after painting, which saves the customer time and money
