Crop Sprayer Boom Arms

HSG

bearing APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

Crop sprayers, both self-propelled and trailed, incorporate plain bearings in the pivot joints of the arms to fold and unfold them.

This demanding application requires plain bearings that can operate in all types of harsh weather conditions and resist corrosion from chemical exposure during controlled dosing of dry or liquid herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers.

GGB agricultural Bearing SOLUTION

The inert composition and structure of self-lubricating, maintenance-free HSG (High Strength GAR-MAX®) fiber reinforced composite bearings make them ideally suited to applications requiring resistance to humid environments and numerous chemical substances.
