The issue of food shortages worldwide is becoming an increasingly serious concern; in light of this, agricultural machinery capable of achieving efficient and stable food production is becoming ever more important. There is a wide variety of agricultural machinery available, tailored to the specific operating environments and crop types of different countries and regions.
Among the vast array of agricultural machinery, the most representative is the tractor. A tractor is a traction machine on which various implements are mounted at the front and rear of the chassis to carry out tasks such as ploughing, sowing, fertilising and spraying.
Bearings are used in various components of tractors, including the gearbox, wheel hubs and engine, and the majority of these operate in muddy and waterlogged conditions under heavy loads. Furthermore, agricultural machinery used on the vast farmlands of Europe and the United States is gradually becoming larger in scale, resulting in increasingly demanding operating conditions for bearings. Under such conditions, customers require bearings that offer both high reliability and excellent value for money.
To support the leap forward in global agricultural productivity, we are continuously driving technological innovation by utilising heat treatment technologies resistant to muddy and wet environments, material technologies capable of withstanding heavy loads, and our proprietary optimised design techniques, all to meet our customers’ requirements.
