Definition

The Knotting unit set (knitter) OEM-000046.3 is a complete, pre-assembled tying mechanism and a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) module for Claas balers. This set is a fully integrated unit that contains all the necessary components—such as the billhook, cam, knife, and gears—to perform the entire knotting cycle. The part number guarantees it is a direct replacement, engineered to the manufacturer’s original specifications.

Function and Role

This unit serves as the core of the baler’s bale-tying system. Its primary function is to automate the process of securely tying twine around a finished bale of hay or straw. Its key roles are:

• Integrated Knotting Action: The unit coordinates its internal components to execute a precise sequence: it gathers the twine, forms a knot via the billhook, tightens it, and finally cuts the excess twine with the integrated knife.

• Ensured Synchronization: As a complete set, all parts are designed to work in perfect harmony. This eliminates timing issues between individual components, which is critical for forming a reliable, consistent knot every cycle.

• Operational Reliability and Ease of Maintenance: Using a complete pre-assembled unit ensures optimal performance and simplifies service. It allows for the replacement of the entire knotting mechanism as one module, reducing downtime during maintenance and repair.
