Simonsen Bushing: #580-02
The Simonsen #580-02 is a bushing for the fan hub used in the distributor (spinner) assembly of Simonsen fertilizer spreaders. It is a critical component for ensuring the smooth rotation and proper alignment of the fan disc.
Product Overview
- Application: This bushing is primarily used in the fan assembly of Simonsen SMC series pull-type spreaders, including models SMC2064A, SMC2064S, and SMC2064SA.
- Location: It is installed within the fan hub, which sits at the end of the fan drive shaft.
- Function: It provides a sacrificial wear surface between the rotating fan hub and the drive shaft, protecting the more expensive shafts and hubs from direct metal-on-metal friction and corrosion damage common in fertilizer applications.
Related Drive ComponentsThe #580-02 bushing works in conjunction with several other key parts in the spreader’s drive system:
- V-Belt Drive Shaft: Part #578-10 (typically 1″ diameter x 16-1/2″ long).
