A bearing arrangement for a harvesting machine, including a bearing configured to couple a rotatable shaft with a chassis of the harvesting machine, a first element coupled with the shaft so as to be rotatable therewith, and a second element coupled with the chassis of the harvesting machine. Additionally, at least a portion of the second element is substantially concentrically enclosed by the first element and the first and second elements cooperate to define a contactless seal configured to substantially prevent contamination of the bearing. The shaft is coupled with a product treating element, such as a crop feeding and/or processing element that is driven or idle rotating.

Bearing arrangement for a harvesting machine

A brake or a clutch for motor vehicles having a first component ( ) and a second component ( ), that can be moved relative to each other. The first component ( ) has a contact surface of a low cost aluminum or aluminum alloy. The second component contains a support component ( ) to which a friction lining ( ) is applied which can be pressed against the contact surface. For a cost effective configuration that makes it possible to absorb high levels of brake energy with high durability together with a very good heat transfer from the friction contact zone, it is proposed that the friction lining ( ) be of an organic material of predominately carbon compounds, in particular of paper. Furthermore it is advantageous that the first or the second component ( ) rotate at least partially in a lubricant.
