21 Feb The Black Series: Bearings built to withstand harsh conditions
Soil ingress is a big problem for farmers, particularly for bearings which are highly prone to failure due to unpredictable conditions. It is therefore important to select the right bearings that can withstand tough weather conditions and long periods of usage to minimize machine downtime during harvesting seasons.
According to Tony Tormey, Motion’s Category Manager for Industrial Bearings, the Schaeffler FAG Black Series of radial insert ball bearings and housing units are perfect for harsh agricultural applications. The bearings have next-level sealing and corrosion protection, and their black surface coating is formulated to withstand rust and other corrosive conditions. The Black Series housing units also allow for relubrication to build bearing longevity and prevent dust and sludge accumulation.
