Agriculture
Ensuring peace of mind throughout the seasons
Robust and reliable solutions for your agricultural machinery
With its expertise and in-depth knowledge of the agricultural market, NTN has developed a comprehensive range of bearings dedicated to agricultural equipment. These solutions are designed to withstand demanding agricultural conditions with a clear objective: to reduce unexpected machine downtime and ensure optimal performance, season after season.
Challenges facing the agricultural sector:
- Increasing productivity: improving agricultural performance to meet growing production demands.
- Reducing maintenance: less downtime and maintenance costs during the season.
- Withstanding extreme conditions: wet soil, mud, shocks, dust, heavy loads, etc. put machines under severe strain.
- Coping with marked seasonality: periods of intense use concentrated in short windows of opportunity.
- Limit technical hazards: a breakdown in the middle of the harvest directly impacts the farm's productivity and profitability.
- Controlling environmental impact: sustainable solutions that are more respectful of the environment.
A range of bearings dedicated to agricultural equipment
Designed to last even in the most demanding conditions
To meet the demands of agricultural cycles, precise management and proactive maintenance of machinery are essential to the performance and profitability of operations. The agricultural range offers products under the NTN and SNR brands that have been specially developed to meet the constraints of agricultural work:
- A wide range: bearings dedicated to towed machinery: stubble cultivators and disc harrows, rotary harrows, seed drills, mowers, rakes, balers, harvesters, etc.
- Extreme resistance: mud, dust, shocks, humidity, high loads, intensive use.
- Reduced maintenance: robust products, optimised sealing, lifetime lubrication... to limit technical interventions and reduce maintenance costs throughout the machines' service life.
- Quick and secure assembly: saves time in the workshop and in the field.
- Reliability and durability: robust bearings to prevent breakdowns and machine downtime during periods of intensive work.
- Technical expertise: recognised know-how for over 40 years and tailor-made support.

Bearings designed for tractor transmissions
In addition to the range of bearings for towed agricultural machinery, our engineers have developed specific bearings for each critical function of tractor transmissions:
- Drive sprockets: wide-angle tapered roller bearings with reduced friction torque for increased rotational speeds.
- Wheel bearings - Rear axles: tapered roller bearings with optimised internal design to limit edge loads.
- Wheel support - Front axles: angular contact ball bearings for high rigidity in a compact space.
- Gearbox: high-performance deep groove ball bearings type TMB/TAB for increased service life or to reduce space requirements.
- Final reduction planetary gears: needle roller bearings, suitable for all space requirements and power transmission requirements. NTN also develops customised integrations.
Agrihub: the bearing designed for independent disc harrows
Install it, run it, forget it
In a demanding agricultural environment, the choice of hub for independent disc harrows can make all the difference. Choosing AgriHub means opting for a robust and reliable solution, designed to maximise productivity, reduce maintenance and offer farmers the essential: peace of mind. All that remains is to focus on the success of their season. Its advantages:
