SKF Agri Hubs for seeding – increases bearing unit service life by up to 40%
Agri Hubs for seeding are especially designed for seeding row applications as opener discs, gauge wheels and closing wheels. These are fully integrated, ready-to-fit units comprising a wide range of flexible designs and are compatible with discs and wheels that require external as well as internal mounting. Agri Hubs for seeding feature a robust type of seals which makes the unit relubrication-free. Together with steel inserts, this provides good protection of the bearings against solid contaminants such as mud, dust, fibers and water. Through this heavy-duty sealing, the bearing’s service life can be increased and at the same time, the need for maintenance and repairs can significantly be reduced.
The integrated bearing is either a four-point contact single or double-row deep groove ball bearing, depending on the capacity need. The flexibility of the design also enables selection of a hub with a solid mounting flange for additional strength.
