NSK in the Agricultural Industry

From the tractor to combine harvesters, field choppers and the many mounted implements for jobs such as ploughing, harvesting and fertilising, the drive systems for mobile agricultural engineering machines use bearings. These bearings have to operate in more extreme conditions than those used for many other applications.

Dirt, moisture, abrasion and high mechanical loads: driving elements in agricultural machinery and the associated mounted implements are subject to severe strain. The bearings used also have to be tailored to these conditions. It is possible to increase the drive systems’ useful life by selecting the ideal bearings or using customised engineering. Special attention should be paid to the materials and seals.

For these reasons, NSK’s aim is to help the agricultural machinery sector fulfill its task reliably & efficiently. NSK develop bearings to make agricultural machines more efficient, more powerful and more economical.
