NTN satisfies more than 30% of the demand for North American OE vehicle production from NTN’s Elgin, Illinois plant. The Elgin plant is the largest manufacturer of hub assemblies in North America, providing more product to OEMs and the Aftermarket than any other single facility. This gives NTN the benefit in the Aftermarket of supplying highly-engineered replacement parts that meet or exceed OE engineering specifications.

The first applications used single row bearings, mounted in pairs. Compared to this type of conventional bearing arrangement, NTN GEN 1 wheel bearings incorporates 2 rows of rolling elements which require no setting (no pre-loading or alignment).

In addition, the integration of the bearing in the vehicle can also provide a transmission function in the case of a driven wheel (drive provided via the spline in the bore).

3rd generation bearings incorporate two mounting functions: attachment to the chassis and the fixing to the disc brake and the rim of the wheel by the flanges incorporated into the inner and outer rings.

Malion's company offers Hub Alert adhesive temperature-sensing indicators placed on a hub that change color when the hub has reached 245-250 degrees Fahrenheit, another way to keep tabs on possible wheel-end issues. The above black circle indicates a hub that has reached the problem temperature and needs further investigation.Regular readers will recall my story earlier this year about the LWS company's temperature- and pressure-sensing lugnut-installed sensors as well, which can deliver warnings to the operator in a high-heat or loose-lugnut event.

An online-tutorial-style version of Bethard's MATS presentation is available at the RevHD website, and you can also catch a video of the presentation itself at the MATS website and on the MATS Youtube channel -- in it, he identified some of most-common reasons for wheel-seal failure. Quite literally a hundred different things can make a wheel seal leak, he said, as “the seal is the weakest link in the chain” that is the wheel end. Engineers designed them that way, so that the seal fails before the other components, essentially, offering opportunities for owners to correct issues before catastrophe occurs.

An incremental evolution of the Gen 2 wheel hub assembly, NTN’s Gen 2.5 hub assemblies offer all of the benefits of the Gen 2 hubs, but are designed for inner ring rotation with a hub spindle installed. Engineered for driven and non-driven wheel applications, the Gen 2.5 can feature either a pressed in or roll-formed assembly.

Hub bearings support the weight of the vehicle and allow the tires to turn smoothly. They are extremely important as they have a major impact on safety, as well as ride comfort and fuel efficiency. As the world leader in OEM wheel hub assembly market share, NTN is dedicated to developing bearings in an aim to support the ever changing needs of the OEM’s.

As a fairly simple check for No. 4, Andy Malion, president of wheel-end-safety company Spectra Products, offered up the simple bearing fluid oil/grease check. "Pull the rubber cap off the front of the hub cap and stick your finger a little into the oil," he said. "Pull it out check for any metal particles that could be a sign of metal flaking," and bearings out of adjustment, No. 2 in Beathard's list above. "Also smell the oil -- it should not smell burnt at all, and should be clean and filled to correct level," visible through the view window on the front of the hub.

In addition to our OE heritage, NTN also offers a line of OE-quality wheel hubs to the automotive aftermarket under the BCA Bearings product line. Learn more about BCA Bearings here BCABearings.com.

During the presentation, Beathard, with wheel-seal/wheel-end-components manufacturer RevHD, asked a version of this question: True or false: A moist or damp seal is OK?

A variation on the theme comes from the temperature-sensing hubcap bolt, too, with a center pin that pops out when a problem temperature is reached. RevHD's caps come with one of these in every box, Beathard noted.

To meet the need for greater simplicity and reduce weight, expected by manufacturers, NTN offers a range of bearings where the inner and outer rings incorporate additional mounting functions: clamps, flanges or mounting holes for easy mounting onto the chassis of the vehicle.

Headed into the annual Roadcheck inspections event -- scheduled for May 17-19, or Tuesday-Thursday next week -- a plurality of owner-operators responding to our preparations poll this week noted a time-honored approach to getting ready for an increased chance of inspection, as you can see here.

In the end, whether or not you're utilizing these kinds of products, a leaky seal is likely to be a first indicator of wheel-end problems. "These early warning signs must be addressed early," Malion noted, "or you could end up losing a wheel while driving or potentially a wheel-end fire, either way a very costly issue that could have been prevented with a proper inspection program."

At the Mid-America Trucking Show back in March, I sat in on Wheel End Specialist Brian Beathard's wheel-end training session, meant for both maintenance pros as well as any truck owner with an interest in more fully understanding the inner workings of their equipment -- I'd say that describes any of you reading this, of course, which is good timing ahead of a Roadcheck blitz set to focus on wheel ends.

Shaft alignment made easy! Our laser shaft alignment tools can help you identify and eliminate misalignment as a cause of machinery failures.

Last year, inspectors around the nation wrote upward of 94,000 396.5(b) violations, close to 3% of all vehicle-related violations recorded. Not all were for leaky wheel seals, but the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has routinely emphasized hub and seal leaks as among the very most common of all maintenance-related violations.

RevHD offers a special program, too, if you're using its wheel seals. Watch that online tutorial I mentioned above and take a brief quiz at the end -- get at least an 85 out of 100 and the company will warrant your brakes, too, in the event of a wheel seal failure.

Malion noted "at a minimum you should check" bearing adjustment "at regular PM schedules to be safe, and anytime the ABS light comes on," also recommended in my colleague Jason Cannon's story on proper wheel end play. Find that story via this link. "An ABS light could indicate that the wheel end is overheating or a wheel is loose and should be checked, Malion added. "Wheel bearings that are out of adjustment can lead to diminished brake performance and brake imbalance, which in turn could create other problems."

The advantages of GEN.2: reduction in the number of parts, improved rigidity, increase in accuracy and better adaptation to the operating conditions.

WheelBearing assembly

In addition to the advantage of a Gen 2 hub assembly, the roll-formed versions of the Gen 2.5 have a factory set pre-load which adds to the ease and reliability of installation.

Beathard then answered his own question by splitting the difference: "Unfortunately," he said, "it can often depend on the DOT inspector," as some are too quick to interpret lube on the seal as a violation of 49 CFR 396.5(b), indicating a leak. From Beathard's point of view, though, a moist or damp seal is OK, given most engineers prefer a seal to be lubricated before being seated. "It's when you have dripping or about-to-be-dripping [lube] that you have issues," and a true violation, Beathard said.

While you've got that cap off, check that the vent isn't clogged. Beathard recommended using a paper clip or something else to clear it of debris if needed -- something that is at or less than the diameter of the vent so as not to damage it by inadvertently enlarging it.
