Study on the Development and Profitability of a Feeder Bearing for Harvesters

Abstract

Agribusiness is one of the main pillars of Brazil’s economy and GDP, being recognized as a highly technological and competitive sector. In this context, the market for agricultural machinery, especially harvesters, directly impacts the efficiency and productivity of crops. One of the main components is the bearing of the feeder system, responsible for supporting and enabling the rotational movement of the shafts. Considering its pre-dimensioned size, the group’s objective is to select the most suitable material and the ideal manufacturing process for this component.
