Will you also be there at the Agritechnica upcoming 8-14 November 2015?

Agritechnica is worldwide known as the innovations forum for the entire agricultural sector where leading technologies and new developments will be presented. The exhibition is an ideal platform for internationally operating enterprises to present innovative products and concepts for the future crop production. It also provides excellent opportunities to share and exchange information and knowledge related to agricultural equipment and machinery.

This year JTEKT will also be present at the Agritechnica 2015. We will be presenting our Koyo Bearings together with HPI which is also a subsidiary of JTEKT Corporation and specialized in the design and production of hydraulic components based on the technology of pumps with external gearing.

FAQ

What is a spherical roller bearing?

Spherical roller bearings feature a large load rating and self-aligning capability. This type of bearing is suitable for low- or medium speed applications which involve heavy or impact loading. Spherical roller bearings are self-aligning, double-row, combination radial and thrust bearings.

They use a spherical or crowned roller as the rolling element. The outer ring contains a spherical race which allows for some misalignment of the shaft and housing. Spherical roller bearings are unequalled in their capacity for high loads and tolerance to shock loads, but have limited speed capabilities.

They perform consistently, even under conditions of extreme speed, application-specific stress, and marginal lubrication. The cage of a spherical roller bearing provides high dimensional accuracy and functionality. According to some estimates, spherical roller bearings have twice the running life of conventional bearings.
