igus® energy chains and plastic plain bearings for agricultural engineering
8 times longer service life for agricultural machinery by the use of plastic plain bearings
Especially in agricultural applications, you need solutions that can stand up to rough conditions, such as dirt, dust, heat, shock and edge loads. igus® makes this possible with its energy chains and plastic bearings that are characterised by their outstanding resilience and long service life. These products are used for instance in tractors, disc harrows, fertilisers, hay rakes, field sprayers, seed drills and other agricultural equipment. In many applications, metallic bushings or recirculating ball bearing guides can be replaced by lubrication free polymer plain bearings. We would like to show you how to improve your technology and save costs at the same time.

Your component made to your design in the desired quantity and material
Individual solutions are just as much part of the igus® product range as standard parts. Our experts match the choice of the manufacturing process and the component material precisely to your needs. The right material for your purposes is selected from a wide range of wear-resistant and maintenance-free high-performance polymers.
Tested for heavy load and wear resistance
Lubrication-free plain bearings in the pivot load test with a maximum load of 500 kg.
8 times longer service life in agricultural machinery by the use of wear-resistant plastic plain beaings.
Low-maintenance and fail-safe components for telescopic work platforms and cherry pickers
igus replacement parts designed for guidance, transfer and bearing support on telescopic elevated work platforms, such as energy chains and cables as well as plastic plain bearings, linear bearings or sliding plates meet the stringent requirements for components that are subjected to continuous stress in outdoor applications.
Cost-effective automation systems for use in vertical farming
Due to their FDA-conformity, resistance to dirt, non-corroding qualities and absence of a need for maintenance igus products are able to satisfy the high requirements placed on them in the area of vertical agriculture. Our Low Cost Automation systems enable cost-effective farming throughout the year and a fast return on investment.
igus® products in use in the agricultural industry
Here, you can see some examples of our customers' applications.
More than 10 years of service life under heavy load
Vibration dampening and load-bearing clevis joints used in a fertiliser spreader AXIS 50.1 W. Realised to date: more than 10 years of service life at a temperature of -20°C and a block load of 4,000 N.
Easy assembly and high service life
This disc harrow can easily be adapted to any width. The drylin® R liner used in the sliding bearing of the disc harrow is maintenance-free, precise, durable and very load-bearing, thus guaranteeing a long service life.
Heavy load up to 15 tons possible
Maintenance-free and resistant to dust and dirt, the iglidur® G plain bearings are used in bale trimming machines of the company Optimal-Vetrieb Opitz GmbH.
Many years of successful cooperation
The company igus® has been successfully collaborating with the company Lemken, since 2008. Numerous devices from Lemken are equipped with igus® plain bearings, among others, the cultivator Karat 9
Without lubrication and cost-effective
The iglidur® Z plain bearing used in this planting machine was more cost-effective than the use of an axial bearing and is also dust-resistant, moisture-resistant and lubrication-free.
Maintenance-free and cost-effective
The company Agrobot based in Spain uses the igus® easy chain® energy chains for this harvester, which are maintenance-free and cost-effective.

White paper:
Service life maximisation of shafts and plain bearings for agricultural machinesOne of the most common causes of failure and downtime in agricultural machinery lies in the wear of the shafts and bearings. You can learn in our white paper how you can avoid this problem with our lubrication-free plain bearings and increase the service life of shafts and plain bearings.
