Agricultural Machinery

Agricultural machinery such as sprayers, tractors and implements uses tapered bearings, mounted units and flanged units on wheels, shafts and conveying drives. Dust, moisture, chemicals and long idle periods between seasons all challenge these bearings. Fleet service teams value parts that fit correctly and can be installed in the field without rework.

• Check whether the original mounted unit uses a flange, pillow block or take-up housing before ordering a replacement.
• Confirm the shaft size and locking method so the unit can be fitted in the field without modification.
• Consider stainless steel or sealed versions on sprayer positions regularly exposed to moisture and agricultural chemicals.
• Relubricate and inspect mounted units before and after the season, where the unit design permits it, to reduce corrosion during storage.
