As one of the leading suppliers to snowmobile
manufacturers, NTN engineers all Formula bearings to
strictest tolerances. NTN Bearings are available as
single, 2 and 4-packs, for all makes of snowmobiles.
Special Low Temperature Grease
NTN "Formula" bearings are made with
a special low temperature grease capable of enduring
temperatures a low as -50 degrees Celsius. The
role of NTN's special low temperature grease is
to ensure a proper oil film layer at very low
temperatures, especially on initial startup.
Exclusive Blue Low Drag Seal
The NTN contact seal is unique since it uses a double
lip seal to ensure optimum protection from contamination.
As the inner seal lip wears, the outer lip then
comes into contact with its groove, further prolonging
the seal's effective life.
Premium Hardened Steel Construction
This steel is better known as SUJ2 carbon chromium
bearing steel - a unique grade of steel included
in the design of every NTN Formula bearing for long
life and durability.
Riveted Steel Cage
The riveted steel cage inside the Formula bearing
resists breakage better than other cage designs.
The Formula bearing's riveted steel cage does not
unravel, which usually is the case with standard
tab-type cages found in many other bearings.
Precision Assembly
One of the most important tolerance measures is
the radial internal clearance. This is the amount
of space between the raceways and ball. NTN takes
special care to control this tolerance to maximize
bearing performance.
