SKF insert bearings and locking methods

The SKF insert bearings for agriculture applications are offered with several locking methods, of which set screws or an eccentric locking collar is the most commonly used. Combined with the sealing solutions offered, they define a wide assortment of unit series available to meet agricultural application requirements in terms of loads, speeds and environmental conditions.

Sealing solutions – greater reliability for agricultural equipment

SKF testing labs use mud slurry testing to thoroughly study new seal concepts before extensive field tests are conducted to validate application performance. Testing is performed to determine the effectiveness of the bearing sealing device to withstand contamination intrusion under aggressive environmental conditions. Seal designs are tested against competitors’ products in side-by-side mud slurry testing.

For additional information, refer to Agri seals – sealing solutions.

SKF Agri Hub range

Whether designing agricultural equipment or using it to farm, high availability of machinery is crucial to meet productivity requirements. The service life of SKF Agri Hubs can be multiple times longer than a traditional bearing.

SKF Agri Hubs feature an integrated flange and a unique sealing system. It’s a sealed, greased hub solution that is virtually maintenance-free. You can save time and increase productivity by using a preassembled unit, which makes it easier to install. The environmental impact can be significantly reduced by lowering lubricant consumption.
