Plain bearings “iglidur Q3E” by Igus, zero maintenance

Redazione

When an excavator moves hundreds of kilograms of sand or an agricultural tractor lifts square bales, enormous loads act on the bucket and fork bearings. Until yesterday, the plain bearings designed to support these efforts were made of metallic materials or different synthetic materials combined together through a winding process. In any case, the bearings were expensive and if metallic they also required periodic lubrication. Thanks to constant advanced investments in research and development, the German Igus group has today managed to create a bearing with performance characteristics superior to…

Texaco oils, prevention is better than cure

Redazione

The replacement of engine oil is the first and most important form of maintenance that must be performed to ensure the full functionality of an agricultural or industrial machine. In fact, it is also a contractual obligation imposed by manufacturers to protect their equipment when covered by warranty. However, simple oil replacement, along with the replacement of filter cartridges, is merely a precautionary measure and provides no diagnostic value unless the operation is combined with periodic fluid analyses aimed at detecting the presence of solid or liquid compounds resulting from…

G7 agriculture, only differentiated solutions

Redazione

At the G7 Agriculture meeting held at the end of September on the island of Ortigia, in Syracuse, the constant increase in the global population and its consequent new food needs were at the forefront of discussions.

Complete verticalization with Merlo brushcutting arms

Examples of such parts are engines, tires, or, until recently, the trimming arms for the “Mm-Mc” series of municipal tractors branded Tre Emme. Extended reach up to eight and a half meters However, since…
