The bearing housings are welded into the box section with the central brace before being milled using CNC systems. The manufacturing process achieves the most exact centre to centre spacing between each rotor. The smooth running of the bearings ensures a long service life.
The upper and lower tapered roller bearings are spaced as far apart as possible to minimise stress on the rotor components The lower bearing is located very close to the tine carrier. This reduces the load on the bearing. The labyrinth seal carefully seals inwards and outwards to prevent ingress of dirt.
Dimensions of tine rotor shaft:
50 mm on the LION CLASSIC / LION / LION C
60 mm on the LION MASTER / LION C
