NTN, the parent company of Bower Bearings, is pleased to announce the addition of Pre-Adjusted Commercial Vehicle Wheel-End Kits to its heavy duty product line. Combining Bower¡¯s precision-engineered tapered roller bearing sets with a precisely-machined cone spacer, these wheel-end kits provide solutions for the heavy duty truck industry¡¯s most popular wheel-end applications.
Bower¡¯s Pre-Adjusted Commercial Vehicle Wheel-End Kits use a precision engineered, high-strength alloy steel spacer to achieve the proper amount of endplay on the two included sets of precision tapered roller bearings. This kit allows a technician to use the OE installation procedure for easily repeatable, consistent and accurate installation without the need for time-consuming, manual adjustment of bearing endplay.
¡°We have listened to the demand from our heavy duty customers, and we are proud to provide them a solution to a common maintenance issue faced by heavy duty fleets,¡± said Matt Gorski, manager of product management for NTN¡¯s automotive aftermarket, ¡°Eliminating the need for manual adjustment of wheel bearing endplay reduces installation time and margin for error, resulting in maximized uptime."
