Business Wire
Dedicated to delivering increased uptime and reliability to the
heavy-duty truck aftermarket, The Timken Company (NYSE:TKR) is
expanding its line of wheel seals and installation tools for the
heavy-duty truck aftermarket.
The Outrunner� line of products, sourced from a leading
manufacturer and sold under the Timken� brand, complements the
company�s existing product line and offers a premium wheel seal
designed to meet the performance demands of low-maintenance wheel
ends.
�These seals offer a high-quality product that aligns well with
our dedication to bringing customers solutions that reduce friction
and maximize uptime to keep their trucks on the road,� said Tom
Tecklenburg � director � automotive and heavy-duty aftermarket.
�Timken already offers a wide range of products to the aftermarket
that help deliver optimum friction management, and these Outrunner
products are another strong addition.�
Two designs of this seal are available from Timken, the
Outrunner Standard and the Outrunner PH (Performance Hybrid). The
design of both variations promotes ease of installation and
reduction of friction. Other features include an interlock design
that provides enhanced dust- and leak-prohibiting protection, which
lengthens bearing uptime and extends maintenance intervals.
The Outrunner PH seal features a hybrid metal and rubber outside
diameter that reduces installation problems associated with other
types of seal designs. The improved installation is achieved
because the rubber in the hybrid compensates for minor bore
imperfections and helps eliminate seal misalignment. With improved
installation, end users can perform maintenance quicker and get
trucks back on the road faster.
The Outrunner PH also utilizes an exclusionary interlock
labyrinth seal design that lowers torque and heat generation to
promote longer seal life and potential fuel economy.
Users of the Outrunner seals also can benefit from reduced
inventory stocking as the seal lip material is compatible with
mineral, synthetic and semi-fluid greases.
To further increase the ease of installation for end users,
Timken also offers seal installation tools, which are engineered
for Outrunner to help position and properly seat the seals.
