Relubrication-free reliability for farming applications
The SKF Agri Hub offers a virtually maintenance-free, unitized, sealed bearing unit with vital advantages for both farmers and original equipment manufacturers. Greased and sealed for life, the SKF Agri Hub reduces grease usage and the potential for grease spillage. Due to its high stiffness, the risk for disc tilt is minimized and machine reliability is further improved.
Field-testing of the SKF Agri Hub confirms that farmers can save as much as a half-hour of maintenance time per day, per machine, compared to conventional bearing arrangements that require daily re-greasing.
Testing also shows that the expected performance may be as much as 100,000 hectares. For OEMs, the unit's simplified assembly and positive environmental benefits lead to reduced total costs, including less likelihood for warranty and service costs.
