Bearing Types
A bearing restricts relative motion and reduces friction between moving parts. These highly engineered, precision-built components enable machines to run at high speeds and carry remarkable loads with ease and efficiency.

Moving agricultural products from farm to fork requires a multi-layered supply chain, from farmers to ranchers, logistics providers and distributors. The appropriate bearing depends on the particular process or machine type. Common types of bearings found in agricultural applications include:

Self-aligning Ball Bearings: These bearings are perfect for applications with misalignment or shaft deflection. They consist of two rows of ball bearings and a spherical raceway on an outer ring. This design results in a self-aligning ball bearing that reduces or eliminates positioning issues.

Square Hole Bearings: These bearings have an advanced seal design that excels in heavily polluted conditions. They exhibit all the characteristics of single row ball bearings, but the inner ring has a square interior instead of a round one. This allows Square Hole Bearings to accept square shafts.

Importance of Bearing Selection
Bearings, such as farm equipment bearings, are essential to the function and longevity of countless farm machinery. It reduces friction, allowing parts to move more smoothly and surfaces to wear less quickly. There are many things to consider when choosing the right bearing for your application.
