Customers world-wide appreciate the products and work of the LFD Group. It safeguards success on location by means of competency and commitment. Listening to the wide range of customers, understanding them and improving continiuously is of paramount importance both in our daily work as well as for application optimisation. This is only possible with highly motivated employees that are open to the feedback and requests from the customers.
For this reason, we would also like to take a look behind the scenes and present the versatile use of LFD products in agricultural engineering in our new agricultural journal.
The challenge was set to offer a new seal for bearings, which has even better resistance to the rigorous demands of the agricultural sector.
For this reason, our engineers have developed the new RPS-seal, which as a result of pressure application achieves a clearly better sealing effect and as a result features a considerably longer service life against contamination. This was tested and proven on our new service life tester, which was developed in close cooperation with a renowned university. As a result of this investment, the LFD Group has a wide range of test stimulations and product comparisons of all common bearings with a bore diameter from 8 mm to 100 mm at its disposal.
An additional innovation that the LFD System Engineering has developed is the LFD AGRI-HUB. This is available with 4, 5 or 6 screw holes and on request with increased stone protection. We have proven the quality of this practical component in field tests.
We have furthermore invested in the service area, ensuring that we can continue to provide delivery times within a window of 24 hours. In collaboration with a leading provider for dynamic storage, we have created a new logistics structure. Our distances to the customer have been reduced by 75% and the time for the effective order picking has been quadrupled.
With this current journal we hope to provide you with an informative view into the world of the LFD Group and the applications of LFD bearings, spherical plain bearings and rod ends.

Managing director of the LFD Group
