Vesconite and Vesconite Hilube are advanced engineering thermoplastics with a unique combination of properties ideally suited to bearing applications in the agriculture industry. Tried and tested in countless industrial settings over the past five decades, both locally and internationally, Vesconite thrives where traditional bronze and steel bushings often fail. In both dry, wet, dirty and unlubricated environments, Vesconite and Vesconite Hilube have proved themselves time and time again as long-lasting, low-maintenance bearing alternatives. Whether you're a farmer, repairer or manufacturer of harvesters, planters, sprayers, harrows, etc, Vesconite and Vesconite Hilube should be considered as bushing and wear material substitutes.

I can't understand why more farmers don't use Vesconite.
-Old Farmer

This comment was made by an old farmer who had driven 185 miles (300km) to buy Vesconite bushings from our Johannesburg sales office.  We can’t help but agree with this sentiment – that any farmer who hasn’t tried Vesconite for bushes, and other sliding wearing parts is unwittingly creating unnecessary work and expense for themself.

The dirt, abrasion and loads associated with earthmoving equipment create notoriously harsh operating conditions for moving parts. Despite these conditions – more often than not combining dirt and water – Vesconite performs well, and is the ideal material for bushings operating under slow speeds or oscillating movements under high load. With its lubrication-free qualities, Vesconite can save machine operators considerable lubrication downtime, not to mention reduced wear on costly counter moving parts.

UK Dump Truck Manufacturer Continues to Fit Vesconite Bushings

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has introduced a new generation of polyurethane for seals that set new standards. Freudenberg's development of its own materials is an important core competency. The company has succeeded in manufacturing a basic material for seals with a far longer operating life than the polyurethane materials used so far.

Watch the video below to see how the seals of today are fulfilling the requirements of tomorrow.

Gallagher Fluid Seals is a longtime distributor of Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, a market and technology leader in many sectors - including mobile machinery for the agriculture and forestry, construction and mining industries.  Decades of experience in manufacturing, the art of materials, and continuous innovations flow into Freudenberg's unique product portfolio.

Mobile machinery has to manage very difficult environmental conditions, such as moisture, rough weather, huge temperature fluctuations, UV-radiation, not to mention sand, mud, and ozone.  Cassette seals from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies persevere for long service life.  Watch the video below to see how Freudenberg cassette seals can be implemented in mobile machinery.
