Bearings play a major role in supporting and reducing friction in machinery. The accuracy and noise of bearings are directly related to the use and life of the machinery. As an indispensable part of agricultural machinery, bearings are used in an increasingly wide range of applications. How to select the best matching bearings based on product performance and usage conditions is an important issue.


Bearing Selection Steps
The selection of bearings directly affects the performance of the main engine and even its lifespan. The main steps in selecting rolling bearings are:
(1) Understand the operating conditions of the mechanical device and bearings;
(2) Clarify the requirements for bearings; 
(3) Select the type of bearing;
(4) Select the bearing configuration; 
(5) Select the bearing size; 
(6) Select the bearing specifications; 
(7) Select the bearing installation method.


Characteristics of agricultural machinery bearings
(1)    Since agricultural machinery operates in the field, it often uses long shafts or large span structures, which often cause large deformation and deflection during operation.
(2)    Since agricultural machinery is mainly used in open air, sandy soil, wet or water operations, it is subject to material friction and environmental corrosion. The working environment is harsh, which can easily cause bearing seal failure and reduce bearing service life.


Special requirements for bearings in agricultural machinery
(1)    In order to adapt to the characteristics of large deformation and deflection during the operation of agricultural machinery, bearings with self-aligning function should be selected to effectively ensure the service life.
(2)    Since agricultural machinery is used in harsh conditions, the bearings should have good sealing performance.
