An Agrihub bearing unit is not a maintenance topic. It’s a design topic. You only really deal with Agrihub units if you design and build agricultural machines.
That’s where it gets decided whether a bearing unit will run quietly for seasons, or later turn into service tickets and warranty claims.
Why did Agrihub units become a standard in OEM machine design?
In discs, cultivators and seeders, the bearing location usually means:
- dirty working conditions,
- loads that change constantly,
- strong vibration and shocks,
- little to no correct relubrication in the field.
Traditional, multi-part bearing arrangements create more failure points in these applications. An Agrihub unit simplifies the whole setup. Pre-assembled. Sealed. Treated as one unit.
What should an OEM look for in an Agrihub bearing unit?
Simple design and easier assembly
One unit. One part number. One mounting logic. No separate bearing, housing, sealing and retention parts to manage. That makes design work cleaner and assembly more repeatable.
Sealed, maintenance-free operation
Agrihub units are pre-greased and sealed. The point is not “maximum theoretical life”. The point is stable performance in typical agricultural conditions.
This directly helps reduce:
- warranty failures,
- issues caused by user handling and inconsistent maintenance.
Built for real-world agricultural loads
Most tillage applications don’t see constant extreme loads. They see repetitive shocks, side loads and vibration. A correctly selected Agrihub unit handles this without over-designing the machine or inflating cost.
FBJ Agrihub – a standard solution for series production
FBJ Agrihub units are made for the most common agricultural applications. They are not “special one-off” solutions, but stable designs that fit series production well.
Key benefits from an OEM point of view:
- consistent quality,
- scalable volumes,
- competitive unit cost,
- predictable supply.
FBJ Agrihub units are currently supplied with the mounting hardware, including a locknut and washer in the same package. This reduces line issues caused by missing small parts and simplifies logistics.
Typical OEM applications
FBJ Agrihub units are commonly designed into:
- disc harrows,
- field cultivators,
- seed drills and planters,
- other tillage tools.
In these machines the goal is simple: stable, trouble-free operation through the season, with a clean and repeatable build.
BAA-0012 FBJ Agrihub unit as an OEM example
The BAA-0012 FBJ Agrihub unit is a typical OEM Agrihub size.
It is widely used and can fit multiple machine models, which supports platform-style standardisation. The advantage is not “special features”.
The advantage is predictability: consistent mounting, stable performance and fewer after-sales issues.
That’s how FBJ Agrihub should be viewed: not as an “extra”, but as predictability.

OEM FAQ – Agrihub bearing units for agricultural machinery builders
1. Why do OEMs choose an Agrihub unit instead of a traditional bearing arrangement?
In OEM production that means a simpler design, fewer assembly steps and fewer chances to make mistakes.
In series production, that matters.
2. Is FBJ Agrihub suitable for series production?
That supports consistent builds across multiple machine models, with stable quality and predictable performance.
3. How do these units perform in typical agricultural conditions?
Their sealed, pre-greased design helps reduce failures caused by dust, mud, moisture and chemicals.
4. What impact can Agrihub units have on warranty risk?
That helps cut warranty issues, especially when end-user maintenance is inconsistent or unpredictable.
5. What does “complete package” mean for FBJ Agrihub units?
This simplifies part number management and reduces production delays caused by missing small components.
6. How universal is the FBJ BAA-0012 size from an OEM perspective?
It can work across multiple machine types, which makes platform-level standardisation easier.
7. How is ongoing availability ensured for FBJ Agrihub units?
This supports continuous availability at competitive pricing, backed by technical and logistics support for OEM needs.
8. Which OEM applications most commonly use FBJ Agrihub units?
These are applications where consistent design, stable performance and controlled cost are key.
9. When is FBJ Agrihub an ideal choice for an agricultural machinery OEM?
and a predictable supply chain.
