Aperia Technologies announced its new Halo Tire Infl ator is
commercially available for use on drive and trailer axles on
medium- and heavy-duty trucks and buses.
Aperia says Halo is an easy-to-install system that operates
on a similar principle to a self-winding watch. The device uses
a wheel's rotational motion to pump and maintain optimal tire
pressure.
The system does not require any connection to a compressor
and can be installed in fi ve to ten minutes per wheel end, the
company says. Aperia offers security fastener kits to minimize
theft risks. The company says the product fi ts all tractors and
trailers and is entirely self-powered.

New Tire Infl ation Product
Meritor introduces a universal knuckle for use with its
non-drive front steer axles, giving global customers a new
solution to outfi t drum or air disc brakes.
Meritor says the universal knuckle front steer axle has one
service part instead of the previous two knuckles on each
axle. Service parts are no longer dependent on brake types
and simplifi es inventory needed, the company says.
The new component offers customers higher payload
capacity, which increases productivity and eliminates the
need for a heavier and more expensive 13,200 lb. axle.
