PigTek has updated its FLEX-AUGER® Feed Delivery Systems with a new anchor bearing that’s designed for maximum reliability and made in the U.S.A. Compatible with Chore-Time Model 75 and Model 75 Plus FLEX-AUGER Systems, the bearing also includes an updated clamp pin that enhances auger-to-anchor bearing attachment.

The new anchor bearing features a grease zerk with a generous internal grease reservoir for easy maintenance and extended bearing lubrication. The triple lip bearing seal design provides a high level of dust and water protection, while eliminating the risk of damage from over-greasing.

Made in the U.S.A., PigTek’s anchor bearing combines superior durability with reliable sourcing. It has been rigorously tested at 3,000 continuous hours (61 million revolutions) under a demanding 100-pound (45-kg) axial load, equivalent to two years of running time. It is backed by a five-year warranty.

“Our new anchor bearing isn’t simply a greaseable sleeve, but a true bearing with a highly robust design that gives producers longer service life and greater dependability,” said Randall Curless, Senior Marketing Specialist. “Customers will appreciate the large grease reservoir to extend times between greasing, as well as PigTek’s industry-leading warranty for peace of mind.”
