PRE-SET HUB ASSEMBLIES

The Commercial Vehicle Systems (CVS) group at ArvinMeritor recently launched a long-term alliance with Consolidated Metco that began with the creation of pre-set iron hub assemblies for trailer applications. They combine MeritorLite ductile iron hubs and ConMet pre-set bearing packages.

ArvinMeritor will market the package globally, with all sales and marketing activities being managed at the company’s headquarters in
Troy, Mich.

The new assembly is designed for low maintenance and extended life, utilizing ConMet’s well established technology for setting wheel-end play and controlling the tolerance between inner and outer tapered roller bearings. The assembly also incorporates premium seals and an advanced gasket/venting hub cap technology, says ArvinMeritor. The hubs are delivered pre-assembled to customers, reducing installation time and the
risk of misaligned or damaged components which can cause premature wheel seal failure. ConMet machines the Meritor hub, and the bearing
package and seal are then added to produce the new hub assembly.

The warranty coverage on this new assembly is five
years/500,000 miles.
