Linear bearings, plain bearings and e-chains for maintenance-free driver's cabs

​​​​​

The latest trend in agricultural machinery cab design is the Onfield 4.0 cab. Tractors or harvesting machines such as combine harvesters are already often GPS-controlled and equipped with extensive sensor technology. Digital networking will continue to increase so that the farmer can remain productive even with a low load. Office tasks such as accounting will then be carried out from the agricultural machine. Displays with flexible adjustment options will therefore characterise the interior design even more. However, the driver's seat must also be very flexible to adjust and be able to be turned to face the side console, for example.

Whether in construction cranes, harbour cranes or intermodal cranes. Modern crane cabins are characterised above all by driver's seats with a wide range of adjustment options. This not only applies to flexibly adjustable head and armrests. In order to maintain an overview at all times during the load lift, the seats should be able to be moved forwards and backwards in a linear fashion and also be easy to tilt. This ensures high productivity and a high level of safety at the same time. Other adjustments in the crane cab include sliding displays and control elements, above all the master switch.

Excavators, wheel loaders, tracked vehicles or transporters: the cab design also plays its part in the safe movement of heavy machinery. A high level of comfort, a good overview and a natural sitting position are required here. A wide range of seat adjustments, such as linear rails on the arm and headrests or plain bearings on the back adjustment, allow the correct seating position for every machine operator. They must also work maintenance-free when in contact with dirt and high humidity. In addition, the user must be able to rely on the flawless and smooth operation of the control instruments. Vibration-dampening, maintenance-free and lubrication-free bearings are used here.
