What will you gain from using the NTN and SNR product range?

Bearings with a longer service life
We extend the service life of bearings even in the most demanding environments by factoring in the constraints and limitations facing industry professionals when developing our products, including humidity levels, temperatures, fine particles, power washing, detergents and elevated production rates.

Ensuring consistently high performance from your machinery
Machine downtime drains any organisation's finances. Using best-fit products will boost equipment performance and raise production levels.

Reduced maintenance costs
Save time by extending and bringing your maintenance intervals under control through constantly high quality. Our bearings feature a rugged design and boast enhanced reliability.

 

An extensive range of products to protect food quality and maintain production efficiency. NTN works alongside the leading food & drink professionals to develop solutions addressing the market's specific needs.

  • Stainless steel ball bearings: this range of deep groove ball bearings is up to 70 times more resistant to corrosion, meaning that it is the ideal solution for areas prone to moisture, saline environments and frequently washed zones.
     
  • Thermoplastic mounted units: these bearing units are lubricated with food-grade grease to guarantee a clean production environment. Their design prevents any build-up of dirt. They can be fitted with end caps for extra protection during wash cycles and are compatible with LubSolid® bearing inserts.
     
  • Stainless steel mounted units: offer the highest corrosion resistance with their premium quality steel and are capable of withstanding heavier loads than thermoplastic bearing units. They are supplied with elastomer seals and shields to tackle moisture and dirt. They are also lubricated with food-grade grease and are compatible with our LubSolid® bearing inserts.
     
  • Topline range: ball bearings whose grease, internal clearance and surface treatment are suited to the temperatures typically encountered in ovens, kilns and cold stores.
     
  • Linear motion: we offer a range of linear modules and ball bushings made from stainless steel. Our modules are specifically designed to prevent dirt from building up and maintain seal integrity across the system, thereby cleanliness of the production chain is always respected. They can be specially engineered to meet the needs of specific applications.
     
  • Lubrication solutions: cost-effective and easy-to-use lubricants and lubrication systems to raise the performance of your applications and minimise maintenance times. Food and Food AL greases are specially designed for applications where incidental contact with food products is possible (NSF-H1 compliant). Food AL is also Halal certified

We have worked closely alongside our customers to pioneer the solution capable of withstanding the extreme conditions found in the food-processing industry: SENTINEL SERIES.
Increasingly stringent standards require organisations to keep an even closer eye on all the components in the production chain. If you think about frequent power washing with highly aggressive detergents, it is not hard to imagine what the bearing's parts have to endure. In most cases, the food-grade grease used as a lubricant is washed out, dissolved and requires frequent re-greasing or the bearing to be changed.
Our difficulty as a manufacturer was to develop a solution that will resist corrosion and feature a waterproof design to prevent the lubricant from washing out, while guaranteeing that nothing leaks out of the bearing into the areas near the food.
SENTINEL SERIES is THE solution that meets these essential criteria, meaning that it respects the production chain environment.
