Plain bearings for agricultural equipment and construction machines

Our plain bearings ensure reliable operation in demanding applications.

Construction vehicles and agricultural equipment are used continuously in harsh environmental conditions, such as during the harvesting period. Dirt, moisture, fluctuating temperatures and vibrations all put the bearing positions under strain. The equipment must always work reliably, even without maintenance work. The bearings must not fail prematurely and must be robust, wear-resistant, powerful and smooth-running. Signs of corrosion after longer downtime periods must not lead to the bearing positions becoming stuck. Permaglide^® lubricated and unlubricated plain bearings have been specially developed to continuously ensure precise guidance and reliable operation under these extreme operating conditions. This reduces maintenance costs or eliminates the maintenance work completely – perfect for applications in the construction and agricultural industries.

• High load capacity
• High wear resistance
• Good durability
• Maintenance-free or low-maintenance 
• Temperature resistance, even when exposed to severe temperature fluctuations 
• Space-saving, thin-walled design: ideal for compact components
• Resistant to moisture, dirt, knocks, shocks and impacts
• Good damping characteristics 
• High corrosion resistance
• Materials with high chemical resistance, particularly suitable for use in aggressive media
• Low costs and easy mounting

Permaglide^® plain bearings are used under demanding conditions in numerous machines and in a wide range of bearing positions. Examples include agricultural machinery and accessories, attachments, soil tillage equipment, construction vehicles and construction machines. The plain bearings are installed in different places, including drive technology, joints and propshafts, gearboxes, clutches, torsion dampers, steering components and steering systems.

Permaglide^® offers you high-performance materials, with different materials and models available: 

• Maintenance-free KS P1 plain bearings, suitable for dry running
• Low-maintenance KS P2 plain bearings, lubrication required
• Permaglide^® plain bearings are available as plain bearing bushes (cylindrical, PAP), plain bearing flange liners (PAF), thrust washers (PAW) and sliding strips/slide paths (PAS).
• Custom-made Permaglide^® plain bearings tailored to your specific application are also available for your construction machines and agricultural machines.

Our plain bearings are manufactured and tested in Germany in accordance with international standards. The entire manufacturing process is monitored and controlled by a close-knit network of quality assurance measures.
