Expertise serving all manufacturers
in the sector
NTN-SNR has worked for several decades with the
leading European and American manufacturers
of agricultural machines, supplying them with
bearings and bearing units, including technical
expertise, specially designed for the entire
agricultural cycle. NTN-SNR thus addresses all
manufacturers on European markets to enable
them to incorporate the most robust and reliable
parts into their machines without needing to go
through costly development phases.
A relationship of trust and confidence has been
existing with Kuhn, a world leader in agricultural
machinery for 40 years. “The longer service
life and the consistent quality of the supplied
bearings are for us a valuable asset”, says
Bernard Jacob, lead buyer at KUHN. “Similarly, in
terms of innovation, the sustained technical and
commercial relations between the project teams
of our two companies, the reactivity and quality of
these relations enable us to progress and finalize
our projects”, he adds. hub for disc machines) comprising a high-
performance bearing with a double row ball
bearing. The side exposed to pollution is fitted
with an 8-lip sealing system that protects the
bearing throughout its lifetime.
Technologies developed for all
requirements For rotary harrow, NTN-SNR also offers tapered
roller bearings with improved precision for rapid
assembly, and for seeding, 4-point angular
contact ball bearings for precise guiding.
Tillage
NTN-SNR has designed the Agrihub (integral
This solution also stands out because of its
robustness and high impact resistance thanks to
its housing in ductile cast iron fitted with a bearing
that provides the highest load capacity on the
market.
Performance and sealing
NTN-SNR has already demonstrated the extreme
reliability and performance of its bearings for
mowers. Their ball bearing technology (single or
double row) and lifelong lubrication ensure very
high rotation speed.
For balers and harvesters, NTN-SNR’s range of
seals is suitable for all types of environments.
The LLU seal delivers optimal performance;
L3 seals (3 nitrile lips) and L4 seals (3 nitrile
lips and a labyrinth ring seal) are designed for
highly polluted and wet land. The latest AGR
seal consists of a 3-lip nitrile rubber seal plus
a pressed metal shield assembled on the inner
ring, which prevents build-up of dirt and which
is robust enough to provide optimal protection
against stones.
Easier maintenance for optimal
operation of machines
NTN-SNR offers lubrication solutions that
simplify maintenance and guarantee optimal
equipment service life. In particular, it offers a re-
lubricating pump, programmable by smartphone/
tablet. This versatile pump can be used both for
multi-line systems or progressive distributors.
Its size allows it to be installed on any on-board
machines.
