For example, specialty seals have been designed with features such as optimized seal lips for longer wear life and more misalignment capability. This can improve service life in many agricultural machines/applications by 50% or more compared to similar conventional designs. Bearing sophistication Modern farming equipment is highly sophisticated, and not straightforward to maintain or repair. Farmers must weigh the cost and risk of self-repair against servicing by a third party. In the latter case, suppliers must be able to deliver long-term savings by offering reduced maintenance, lower repair costs and less machine downtime. The rising world population puts farmers under pressure to keep improving productivity. Choosing the correct maintenance strategy – such as specifying more reliable bearings – helps them focus their efforts on crop cultivation, without the fear of unplanned machine downtime. www.skf.com Combine seeder.
