What is the most common cause ofbearingfailure

Wheel bearings have an average lifespan of 136,000 to 160,000 km (approximately 85,000 to 100,000 miles). This is only a rule of thumb though, the actual lifespan of a wheel bearing depends on the quality of the wheel bearing and the operating conditions.

When replacing your wheel bearings, it is essential to look for high quality parts. MOOG offers a complete range of easy to install, premium quality, long-lasting wheel end bearings that are engineered, manufactured, tested and validated to OEM standards for maximum performance and durability.

Wheel bearings are low maintenance parts, but that doesn’t mean they last forever. So, what does a wheel bearing actually do? How long does it last? And how can you help extend its lifespan?

Despite the fact that modern wheel bearings are easier to install than previous generations, correct installation, the usage of appropriate tools and respecting the specified torque values are still essential for maximum performance, durability and safety. Therefore, we recommend having your wheel bearings fitted by a professional mechanic that has the skills and the tools to do the job.

From valves to panel systems, we repair, install, and provide quality parts for any application. T.F. Hudgins' reliability engineers can help guide you in the selection, design, maintenance, and installation of lubrication equipment to ensure you maintain operational excellence at your facility. Products include lubricators, pump packages, divider valves, and other accessories.

A wheel bearing is a crucial part of the wheel assembly that connects the wheel and the axle. It is a set of steel balls (ball bearings) or tapers (tapered bearings), held together by a metal ring. It enables the wheel to rotate smoothly with a minimum of friction. Wheel bearings are safety critical components designed to sustain radial and axial loads caused by gravitation, acceleration, breaking & cornering forces, so they need to be replaced when they stop working properly.

We design, fabricate, install, and service a wide range of automatic lubrication systems, also known as centralized lubrication systems, to meet your specific needs – for any compressor, engine, pump, or machine application in any working condition. For more than 75 years, we have helped maintenance professionals in a variety of industries achieve optimum lubrication for machines such as Ajax, Ariel, Clark, Cooper, Dresser-Rand, Ingersoll, Joy, Superior, Worthington, and many more.

We inspect, repair, and rebuild an expansive range of lubrication system pumps, gearboxes, check valves, divider valves, and other components for virtually all types of force-feeding and centralized, automatic lubrication systems. Every component we rebuild must meet its specified pressure and flow ratings and pass leak and displacement testing (where applicable) before we return the component to you.
