Tackle every agricultural challenge with SKF solutions!

5 / 5 Reviews : 2

Agriculture is a demanding industry where the reliability of machines is crucial. Continuous operation in difficult weather conditions and under heavy loads places high demands on all agricultural machinery components. That is why it is so important to choose the highest quality components that will ensure failure-free operation and minimize the risk of costly failures.

A wide range of SKF products for agriculture.

SKF offers a wide range of products dedicated to agriculture, including:

  • Bearings - rolling, sliding, linear and thrust bearings — in various construction and material variants, adapted to the specific operation of agricultural machines in difficult conditions.
  • Seals - protecting the bearings against dirt and water, ensuring their long life and uninterrupted operation.
  • Grease guns - compact, mobile, battery-powered, for precise dosing of grease and extending the life of bearings.
  • Tools for mounting and dismounting bearings — facilitating and accelerating machine servicing, which saves valuable time in the event of unplanned downtime.
  • Devices for alignment of pulleys and chain wheels from the TKBA 10/20/40 series.

SKF bearings for agricultural machinery – from the combine to the seed drills.

Bearings in agricultural machines must meet a number of stringent requirements. The solutions prepared by SKF as part of the SKF Agri product series are bearings characterized by the highest resistance to external factors such as mud, stones, dust, water and others. Through stringent testing and stringent standards, products are engineered to meet the needs of the agricultural industry for almost any equipment. from the combine to the seed drills. And so, the SKF Agri offer includes:

  • Tractor solutions – Explorer deep groove ball bearing, Explorer tapered roller bearing, Explorer cylindrical roller bearing - for the front axle, stub pin, front and rear wheel bearings, gearbox, engine, tractor rear axle pinion assembly.
  • Tillage solutions — hub bearing, self-aligning bearing, single-row tapered roller bearing dedicated to machines such as plows, harrows, disc harrows, cultivators.
  • Seeding solutions — SKF Agri hub, single-row ball bearing, drive shaft for seeder elements such as support wheel, closing wheel, opening disc, pressure wheel, implement wheel, seeder marker.
  • Harvesting solutions – double-row spherical roller bearing, single-row ball bearing, bearing assemblies for combine elements feeder, conveyor, forage harvester, fan drive, threshing drum, etc.
  • Ironing solutions — bearing units with bearings and special bearings for round balers.
  • Fertilization solutions — SKF Agri hub for fertilizer injector discs.

SKF seals for agriculture.

SKF offers standard and custom-tailored seals, including radial shaft seals, scraper seals, gear seals, and rod and buffer seals. In addition, SKF has developed a new generation of the SKF Mudblock MUD11 cartridge seal, which was designed to operate in harsh environmental conditions, including agriculture.

SKF MUD11 seal has 50% longer than standard service life and 20% lower friction, providing greater efficiency with lower operating costs and reduced need for installation maintenance.

SKF bearing handling tools

In the Albeco online store you will find SKF specialist tools for servicing bearings, which facilitate and speed up their assembly and disassembly. Mechanical pullers, hook wrenches, portable induction heaters and many other tools have been designed for various types of bearings and applications, which ensures their high efficiency and safe use. Within this category we can distinguish:

Set of mounting tools for bearings

  • TMFT 36 assembly tool set, which facilitates the installation of bearings, pinions and sprockets as well as bushings with a hole diameter of 10-55 mm.
  • TWIM 15k/230 V portable induction heater — for heating bearings weighing up to 20 kg and a maximum external diameter of 360 mm. Power heaterhas the function of intelligently detecting the bearing size and selecting the appropriate heating level, which helps avoid overheating of the bearings.
  • LGAF 3E Anti-Fretting Corrosion Agent — smooth paste that prevents fretting corrosion associated with vibration and oscillatory movement, facilitating disassembly.
  • Hook wrenches - adjustable SKF hook wrenches that facilitate the safe tightening and loosening of nuts in 24 sizes.

Bearing disassembly tool kit

  • Set of internal pullers from the TIMP series for bearings — designed to easily remove the bearing from the housing where the outer ring fits tightly. Adapted to a wide range of bearing hole diameters from 6 to 70 mm. The sliding hammer included in the set allows for the use of high disassembly forces, while ensuring high ergonomics and user safety.
  • Reversible arm pullers - TMMR F series pullers with reversible arms, suitable for external and internal extraction of bearings. They are characterized by a wide grip range, ranging from 23 mm to 350 mm.
  • SKF EasyPull pullers– available in mechanical and hydraulic versions, pullers equipped with spring arms. The most convenient and safe for the user.
  • Standard puller — The easiest to use and one of the most effective tools for dismounting small and medium-sized bearings. Reliable SKF pullers not only ensure easy and safe work, but also help avoid damage to the dismounted bearing and its seat.

Devices for aligning chain and pulleys SKF TKBA 10/20/40

SKF laser alignment tools from the TKBA series allow you to easily adjust the alignment of pulleys in the pulley grooves and the alignment of pulleys and chains using the front surfaces of the wheels as a reference plane. Proper wheel alignment allows forlonger durability.

TLGB lubricators — precise bearing lubrication

It is worth paying special attention to the TLGB series of grease guns from SKF, which are ideal for lubricating bearings in agricultural machines. Ready for use even in the middle of the field, portable, battery-powered grease guns with compact dimensions are an irreplaceable support in precise application of grease, saving time and energy compared to standard manual grease guns.

  • SKF TLGB 1262-E hand grease gunis a grease gun powered by a 12 V battery that simplifies and speeds up the lubrication process. Compact, with a 3-point base, it allows access to lubrication points with limited access, while increasing ergonomics and reducing operator fatigue. One battery charge allows you to empty up to 6.5 grease reservoirs with free flow and over 2 grease reservoirs with a back pressure of 200 bar.
  • SKF TLGB 1886-E hand grease gun is a compact hand lubricator with a 20 V battery power supply and two-stage flow rate regulation. The high gear ratio of the lubricator allows for the supply of large amounts of grease quickly, while the low gear ratio enables the application of grease under pressure up to 70 bar. Depending on the setting, one battery charge is sufficient to empty up to 18 grease reservoirs at free flow and over 8 reservoirs at a back pressure of 200 bar at low gear ratio. The set weighing less than 8 kg with a suitcase ensures easy transport wherever the grease gun is needed most.
