Expanded Wheel End Bearing Line
NTN Bower has expanded its line of heavy-duty wheel end bear-
ings for commercial vehicle applications to now include pre-ad-
justed hub bearing sets.
This product line will include sets that range from SET427 to
SET432. NTN Bower says wheel end bearings for pre-adjusted hub
applications allow installers to achieve the proper wheel bearing
end-play, eliminating the need for manual bearing adjustment.
Additionally, NTN's pre-adjusted hub bearing sets enable
installers to re-use the current OE spacer to increase maintenance
intervals and reduce fl eet down time, the company says.
