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

The design of cabs in work machines such as cranes, agricultural machinery and construction machinery must meet high quality standards to ensure safety and productivity on the field, construction site or port.Wherever movement takes place - for example in the adjustment options of the seats, the control elements or when adjusting the displays - everything must run smoothly.

Thanks to dry operation, drylin linear bearings and iglidur plain bearings work maintenance-free and lubrication-free, permanently rattle-free and are insensitive to dirt, dust and corrosion.They are therefore suitable for use in the machine environment and can contribute to a long service life in the cabin.Here you can find out more about products, installation locations and advantages.

Equipped for the Onfield 4.0 driver's cab

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.

Bearing products and energy chains for driver's cabs in cranes

Flexible seats for greater safety and high productivity

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.
