Quality Bright Steel Bars for Agricultural Equipment
Agricultural equipment faces harsh conditions that accelerate wear and tear. Our bright steel bars ensure durability and precision for demanding applications.
The wear problem
Agricultural equipment components often endure sliding abrasion from soil and crop interaction, leading to premature wear. The wear frequently manifests first in high-friction areas, such as bearings and shafts, resulting in reduced efficiency and costly downtime.
Recommended plate by component
| Component | Grade | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shafts | G12144 / 1.0718 | 20-50 mm | Increased fatigue resistance and improved lifecycle. |
| Tines | G10450 / C45E | 10-25 mm | Enhanced strength for better performance in tough soil conditions. |
| Spindles | 817M40 / 34CrNiMo6 | 20-30 mm | Superior toughness and wear resistance extending operational life. |
| Bearings | 535A99 / 100Cr6 | 15-40 mm | Excellent hardness properties provide reliable service under load. |
| Linkages | 1.0715 | 5-15 mm | Good machinability and dimensional stability for precise fittings. |
Selecting the right plate
Durability under stress
Choose grades with high tensile strength for demanding applications.
Consistency is key
Opt for bars that guarantee tight tolerances along their entire length.
Surface finish matters
Select grades that ensure clean surfaces for optimal machining.
Corrosion resistance
Consider stainless grades for applications exposed to moisture and corrosion.
Questions engineers ask
What is the advantage of cold drawn bars?
Cold drawn bars offer superior dimensional accuracy and surface finish, reducing machining time. This helps maintain tight tolerances and extend the life of your components.
How do I choose the right grade?
Select grades based on the specific wear conditions and mechanical properties required for your application. Consult with our technical team for tailored recommendations.
Can these bars be machined further?
Yes, our bright steel bars are designed to allow for efficient machining while maintaining their structural integrity. They are ready to work as soon as they come off the machine.
What sizes do you offer?
We stock a variety of thicknesses ranging from 5 mm to 50 mm, catering to different agricultural equipment components and their specific needs.
