Business Wire
The Timken Company (NYSE: TKR) is launching a new series of
heavy-duty hub rebuild kits to help simplify wheel-end rebuilds for
heavy truck maintenance professionals while improving uptime for
fleet owners and operators. Timken� Set-Right Heavy-Duty Hub
Rebuild Kits are engineered exclusively for pre-adjusted wheel hubs
and feature two Timken� Milemate� sets � the original matched wheel
bearing sets produced in North America � and a precision original
equipment spacer. �The Milemate bearings used in these kits are
what we call half-stand bearings, which means they have half the
stand or measurement tolerance of that used in standard bearings,�
said J. Barry Harris, global manager of products and marketing for
the automotive aftermarket. �This precise half-stand tolerancing
provides for a highly accurate and repeatable setting, which
facilitates faster and more reliable wheel-end rebuilds.� The
Milemate bearings are also Timken �NP� part numbers, which feature
a proprietary design, enhanced surface finishes and more precise
internal bearing geometry compared to standard bearings. NP part
numbers also exceed industry standards and ensure that fleets get
all the advantages that were engineered into their original
heavy-duty, pre-adjusted hub systems. In addition, Timken Set-Right
kits include a precision-machined cone spacer that is specifically
designed for the rigorous demands of the heavy truck market. These
cone spacers are made with high-strength alloy steel and
manufactured to precise tolerances. When combined with Timken
half-stand bearings and a special toleranced hub, the cone spacer
eliminates the need for manual adjustment, which is one of the
leading causes of wheel-end problems. For more information about
