Agricultural bearings

Different agricultural bearing profiles

Agricultural bearings are available in several profiles to meet a variety of specific needs:

• Agricultural ball bearings: designed for applications requiring low friction and moderate rotation speeds. They offer good resistance to contamination and long service life.

• Agricultural tapered roller bearings: Used to support high axial and radial loads, they are ideal for heavy equipment and applications requiring high load capacity.

• Agricultural cylindrical roller bearings: Offer high radial load carrying capacity and are used in applications where loads are predominantly radial.

• Agricultural spherical roller bearings: Designed to withstand heavy loads and harsh operating conditions, they are suitable for applications where misalignments are frequent.

Special features of agricultural bearings

Agricultural bearings offer several key advantages that make them indispensable in a variety of agricultural applications:

• Resistance to contamination: Designed to operate in dusty and muddy environments, these bearings often feature special seals to prevent the ingress of contaminants.

• High load carrying capacity: They can support high radial and axial loads, ensuring reliable performance even under heavy load conditions.

• Durability: Made from robust materials such as hardened steel, they resist wear, shock and severe vibration, extending the life of agricultural equipment.

• Low maintenance: Agricultural bearings are designed to be low-maintenance, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

How to choose the right reference?

To select the right agricultural bearing for your needs, several criteria need to be considered:

1. Specific application: Identify the requirements of your application, such as type of load (radial or axial), rotation speed, and environmental conditions (dust, mud, humidity).

2. Bearing type: Choose between different types of agricultural bearings (balls, tapered rollers, cylindrical rollers, spherical rollers) depending on the performance required. For example, tapered roller bearings are preferred for high loads, while ball bearings are suitable for moderate speeds.

3. Dimensions : Check the dimensions required to fit your equipment perfectly (inside diameter, outside diameter, width). Accurate dimensions guarantee correct installation and optimum performance.

4. Materials: Select bearings made from materials suitable for the operating environment. Bearings in stainless steel or with anti-corrosion coatings are recommended for wet or corrosive environments.

Advantages of agricultural bearings for various applications

• Tractors: Used in axles, transmissions and steering systems to ensure reliable, long-lasting performance, even under high load and vibration conditions.

• Combines: Essential for threshing and conveying systems, these bearings ensure smooth, efficient operation during harvesting.

• Ploughs and seeders: Designed to withstand harsh field conditions, they ensure continuous operation and reduce downtime for maintenance.

• agricultural handling equipment: Used in trailers, conveyors and other handling equipment to support heavy loads and offer enhanced durability.

Agricultural bearings are crucial components for any application requiring reliable, long-lasting performance in harsh conditions. Available in a range of types and materials, they can be adapted to a variety of agricultural environments to ensure optimum equipment performance.
