Industrial bearings for agricultural machinery
Ball head in steering linkages
PRODUCT USED
KS Permaglide® plain bearing spherical shell design PAX ... P-20
Material: Permaglide® KS-P20
FUNCTION
The steering system of a tractor is connected to the steering levers on the wheel via the steering linkage. A ball joint in the tie rod carries out the force transmission with spring suspension.
DEMANDS
The bearings of the ball joint are constantly subjected to the influences of dirt, moisture, temperature fluctuations and vibrations with heavy impacts under extremely harsh operating conditions. No play may occur in the ball joint over the entire service life. The ball joint should be maintenance- free over the entire service life.
BEARING WITH KS PERMAGLIDE® PLAIN BEARING SPHERICAL DESIGN PAX ... P20
The bearing with KS Permaglide® plain bearing spherical shells design PAX ... P20 fulfils these requirements and guarantees precise guidance over the long-term despite all these influences. The high wear resistance of the KS Permaglide® plain bearings ensures that the ball joints have a long service life. The plain bearings used are rigid and free from play thanks to their multi-layer composite system. The sliding surface also has oil distributing pockets and is initially lubricated to guarantee maintenance-free, low friction values over the entire service life. The bearing is protected from dirt with a rubber sleeve.
ADVANTAGES OF KS PERMAGLIDE® P20 PLAIN BEARINGS
- Maintenance-free
- Robust and resilient
- Very clean
- Small footprint
- Corrosion-resistant
