A system for lubrication of a bearing of a crop transport and/or processing system of a harvesting machine includes a supply container for storing a lubricant, means for delivering the lubricant from the supply container to the bearing, and means for returning the lubricant from the bearing to the supply container.

A transmission device for a power-driven cutting tool includes a base, a transmission component, a linking component, a shaft component and a link component. The base has a through cavity, a sleeve and a receiving portion. The transmission component is penetratingly disposed in the through cavity, so as to couple the transmission component and the base together. The linking component is penetratingly disposed in the sleeve, so as to couple the linking component and the base together. The shaft component and the link component are disposed in the base. A power source drives the linking component and thereby sequentially drives the shaft component, link component, and transmission component, allowing a cutter of the power-driven cutting tool to undergo reciprocating displacements along a linear path for performing a cutting operation. The transmission device features enhanced structural rigidity, allowing the cutter to move back and forth along a linear track.

An agricultural vehicle may include a drive wheel assembly that includes a central shaft driven by a motor of the agricultural vehicle, and a planet gear system driven by the central shaft. The planet gear system includes a sun gear coupled to the central shaft, multiple planet gears disposed around the sun gear and driven by the sun gear, a ring gear disposed around the planet gears and driven by the planet gears, and a planet carrier directly coupled to each planet gear and configured to provide support to each planet gear. The drive wheel assembly may include multiple bearing assemblies, at least one of which is supported by the planet carrier. The multiple bearing assemblies may also be disposed on opposite sides of the planet gear system.

Tapered bearings are used on each end of each link arm on an agricultural seed row planter mounted on a toolbar. The bearing is a low friction material and greaseless. The tapered design of the bearings allows the bearings to be adjusted as wear occurs, by tightening the link arm mounting nut which extends through the tapered bearing. The tapered bearing has an increased life and reduced maintenance, as compared to prior art roller bearings.

The tie rod end includes a housing with an inner bore that extends along a central axis. A stud is partially received in the inner bore and has a shank portion which extends out of the inner bore for attachment with a gearbox. The tie rod end further includes an elastic boot body which extends from a first boot end, which is sealed with the housing, to a second boot end. A boot bearing, which is made of a plastic material, is secured with the second boot end. The boot bearing is in a dynamic sealing engagement with the shank portion of the stud. The boot bearing presents a plurality of radially inwardly extending and annularly-shaped ribs that contact the shank portion.

A bearing arrangement for a unit that is mutually turnable around a centre of rotation (R) comprising an external part (1) and an internal part (7), which, with the aid of high hydraulically acting pressure, is arranged to achieve a reciprocating rotary motion, or that is arranged to achieve a high hydraulic pressure from an applied torque from a reciprocating motion, whereby the external part (1) is provided with side walls arranged to axially surround at least a part of the internal part (7), and whereby the external part (1) comprises a radially inwardly arranged and essentially surrounding cavity (11, 12, 13, 14) in which the internal part (7) is arranged such that it can be rotated, which cavity (11, 12, 13, 14) is limited in the circumferential direction by at least one wing (3, 4) that protrudes inwards from the external part (1) and also limited by at least one wing (9, 10) that protrudes radially outwards from the internal part (7), which wings (3, 4, 9, 10) limit at least two chambers or compartments (11, 12, 13, 14) between the external part (1) and the internal part (7). At least one of the side walls of the external part is fixed connected with the, at least one, wing (3, 4) that protrudes radially inwards towards the internal part (7), which wing demonstrates a surface that faces radially inwards and that has a circular concave curvature for connection with an outwardly facing circular convex contact surface (8) at the internal part (7).

A transmission housing (2) of the type including two housing elements (9) that can be positioned to press against each other and that in the assembled-together state define: a cavity (13); a shaft (6) projecting at least in part from the housing (2); a motion transmission mechanism (30) for transmitting motion to said shaft (6), the motion transmission mechanism (30) being housed at least in part inside the cavity (13) of the housing (2); and sealing means (15) arranged in the zone where the housing elements (9) are pressed together and referred to as a join plane (10), the sealing means (15) surrounding said cavity (13).

The housing (2) comprises means (17) for connecting the housing elements (9) together by snap-fastening in order to hold the housing elements (9) pressed against each other and the sealing means (15) comprise adhesive connection means (16) for connecting said housing elements (9) together.

An improved seal assembly that includes an outer cap, a ring, and a spring washer. The ring is configured to repeatedly engage with a contact element defined on a bearing ring during rotation such that the ring vibrates.

A bearing unit (10) has a radially outer ring (31), a radially inner ring (33), an eccentric locking collar (40), a row of rolling bodies (32), and a sealing device (50). The sealing device (50) is arranged on the same side as the locking collar (40) and is interposed between the radially inner ring (33), the radially outer ring (31) and the locking collar (40). The sealing device (50) includes a metal shield (55) stably connected to the radially outer ring (31), and an elastomeric component (60) co-molded on the shield (55) in a radially inward direction. The elastomeric component (60) has a plurality of lips, of which at least one lip (64, 65) is in contact with the locking collar (40).

An agricultural tillage implement includes a frame member and at least one rolling basket assembly coupled to the frame member. The rolling basket assembly has at least one bearing hanger, at least one rolling basket and at least one bearing assembly rotationally coupling the rolling basket to the bearing hanger. The bearing assembly has a bearing with an inner ring and a spindle holding the inner ring. The spindle is coupled to the bearing hanger. The spindle being configured to accommodate dynamic misalignment of the bearing.
