Agricultural Bearings

Our range of agricultural bearings is designed for the demanding conditions found in farming and agricultural machinery, where reliable performance is essential in environments exposed to dirt, dust, moisture and heavy loads.

We stock agricultural machinery bearings for a wide variety of farm equipment and applications, including cultivators, seeders, balers, mowers, tillage equipment, disc harrows and harvesting machinery.

The range includes agricultural bearings with round, square and hexagonal bores, together with different sealing and lubrication arrangements to suit specific machinery and operating conditions. Heavy-duty sealing options help protect the bearing from contamination and moisture, while greaseable and sealed-for-life designs are available across the range.

 Finding the Right Agricultural Bearing

Agricultural bearings are commonly identified by their bearing reference or part number, but they can also be matched using key dimensions including the bore size (ID), outside diameter (OD) and bearing width.

When replacing an existing bearing, check the bore shape and dimensions as well as the seal and lubrication arrangement. Bearings that appear similar can have important differences in their internal design or dimensions.

Browse our agricultural bearings to find the size and specification you require. If you are unsure which bearing you need, contact Engineering Components for help identifying a suitable replacement.

We supply genuine bearings from leading manufacturers, giving you a choice of quality and specification to suit different agricultural applications and budgets. Our relationships with established bearing manufacturers also enable us to offer dependable alternatives when an exact bearing reference is difficult to source.

If you're unsure which agricultural bearing you need, our experienced team can help with bearing identification, part-number cross-referencing and finding a suitable replacement. This can be particularly useful with older agricultural machinery or when the original bearing reference is no longer clearly visible.

With thousands of products held in stock, we can also get machinery-critical parts moving quickly. Orders placed by 3pm can be dispatched the same day, with free UK economy shipping and express delivery options available.

Whether you're replacing a single agricultural bearing or sourcing components for ongoing machinery maintenance, you can buy from an established UK specialist with the stock, product knowledge and support to help keep your equipment running.

Frequently Asked Questions About Agricultural Bearings

Agricultural bearings are bearings designed for use in farm and agricultural machinery, where components are frequently exposed to demanding conditions including dirt, dust, moisture, vibration and heavy or shock loads. They are used across a wide range of equipment including cultivators, disc harrows, seeders, balers, mowers and harvesting machinery.

Agricultural bearings are available in many different sizes and configurations, including round, square and hexagonal bores, with sealing arrangements designed to help protect the bearing in contaminated environments.

Start by checking the existing bearing for a manufacturer's name and bearing reference or part number. This is normally the quickest way to identify a replacement.

If the number is missing or unreadable, the bearing can often be identified from its dimensions and design. Measure the bore or inside diameter (ID), outside diameter (OD) and width, and note whether the bore is round, square or hexagonal.

If you're still unsure, contact Engineering Components with the bearing reference, dimensions and, where possible, details of the machine it came from, and we can help identify a suitable replacement.

The three main measurements are the inside diameter (ID or bore), outside diameter (OD) and width. For accurate identification, we recommend measuring with a vernier or digital caliper rather than a ruler.

For square or hexagonal agricultural bearings, measure the bore across the flats and also note the shape of the outside of the bearing. Checking these measurements against the product specifications helps reduce the risk of ordering a bearing that looks similar but does not fit correctly.

The bore is the opening through the centre of the bearing that fits onto the shaft. Agricultural machinery can use round, square or hexagonal shafts, so the replacement bearing must have the correct bore configuration for the application.

Square and hexagonal bore bearings are commonly found on agricultural and tillage equipment because their shape locates directly onto a correspondingly shaped shaft. Always check both the bore shape and dimensions before ordering a replacement.

Farm machinery regularly operates around dust, soil, mud, water and crop debris, all of which can contaminate a bearing and reduce its service life.

Many agricultural bearings therefore use enhanced sealing systems, including multiple-lip or triple-lip seals, designed to provide additional protection against contaminants while retaining lubricant inside the bearing. The appropriate sealing arrangement will depend on the bearing and its operating environment.

A triple-sealed or triple-lip agricultural bearing uses a multi-lip sealing arrangement to provide additional protection between the bearing's internal components and the outside environment.

This type of sealing is particularly useful on agricultural machinery operating in dirty, dusty or wet conditions. The additional sealing helps keep contaminants away from the bearing's rolling surfaces while helping retain the lubricant inside.

Both types are available. Some agricultural
bearings are sealed and pre-lubricated for life, while others are
designed to be re-greased or re-lubricated during routine machinery
maintenance.

It is important to replace a bearing with the
appropriate lubrication arrangement for the machine and application rather than
assuming all agricultural bearings are maintenance-free. Check the product
specification or contact us if you are unsure.

Agricultural bearings are used throughout farming and agricultural equipment, including disc harrows, cultivators, seed drills, planters, balers, mowers, combine harvesters, tillage equipment and other farm machinery.

Because operating conditions and loads vary considerably between machines, agricultural bearings are produced in many different sizes, bore configurations and sealing arrangements. Selecting the correct bearing for the particular application is important for reliable operation.

Yes. Agricultural bearing references can vary between manufacturers and machinery suppliers, and in many cases an equivalent bearing may be available under a different manufacturer's reference.

If you have the bearing number, OEM reference or machinery part number, contact Engineering Components and we can help check for a suitable cross-reference or replacement. Providing the bearing dimensions and machine details can also help confirm the correct part.

Engineering Components supplies agricultural bearings throughout the UK, with products from established bearing manufacturers and thousands of bearings and power transmission components held in stock.

Browse our agricultural bearings online by bearing reference and specification, or contact our experienced team if you need help identifying a replacement. If you have an old bearing but cannot identify it, send us the reference and dimensions and we'll help you find the right agricultural bearing for your machinery.
