FK Bearing, China top bearing unit manufacturer of reliable bearing solutions, proudly announces the new launch of three innovative product lines in 2026 engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern heavy industry and agriculture. The new FK Spherical Roller Bearing Units, FK Babbitted Split Journal Bearings, and FK Planter Bearing/Row Cleaner Bearing series are designed to deliver superior performance, extended service life, and reduced maintenance costs across diverse applications.

1. FK Spherical Roller Bearing Units: Robustness for Misalignment and Heavy Loads
The newly launched FK Spherical Roller Bearing Units are engineered as comprehensive, ready-to-mount solutions for applications involving heavy radial loads and significant shaft misalignment. Common in mining, conveyors, pulp and paper machinery, and fans, these units combine high-capacity spherical roller bearings with robust, precision-machined housings (typically SN, SD, or SAF series types). The self-aligning capability of the bearing compensates for mounting inaccuracies and shaft deflection, ensuring smooth operation and preventing premature failure. FK bearing units are pre-lubricated and sealed, offering easy installation and reduced downtime, making them an ideal choice for harsh industrial environments where reliability is paramount.

2. FK Babbitted Split Journal Bearings: Precision for Critical, Large-Diameter Rotating Shafts
Addressing the core needs of high-power machinery, FK bearing introduces its Babbitted Split Journal Bearings. These bearings are custom-engineered for critical applications in sectors such as hydroelectric and steam turbines, large pumps, compressors, and marine propulsion systems. The split design allows for easy inspection, maintenance, and replacement without requiring disassembly of the entire rotor system—a significant advantage for large-scale equipment. The bearing lining is meticulously cast with high-quality Babbitt (white metal) alloy, renowned for its excellent embeddability, conformability, and anti-friction properties. This ensures optimal hydrodynamic lubrication, exceptional load distribution, and protection for valuable shafts, thereby enhancing operational stability and longevity in high-speed, high-load scenarios.

3. FK Planter Bearing and Row Cleaner Bearing: Durability for Precision Agriculture
To support the agricultural sector's pursuit of efficiency and precision, FK Bearing launches its dedicated series for planting equipment: the FK Planter Bearing and FK Row Cleaner Bearing. These bearings are specifically constructed to withstand the extreme conditions of farming: pervasive dust, mud, moisture, and high impact loads. Featuring advanced sealing technologies, such as multi-labyrinth or heavy-duty contact seals, they effectively prevent contamination from dirt and debris. Made from high-grade, corrosion-resistant materials and often pre-lubricated with specialist grease, these bearings ensure smooth rotation of planter disks, gauge wheels, and row cleaner blades. The result is accurate seed placement, consistent planting depth, improved crop emergence, and dramatically reduced unplanned maintenance during crucial planting seasons.
