Automatic compensation system for the thermal growth expansion of machines allows to keep the effciency of alignment in any environment.

Wheel bearings provide a mounting point for the wheels and allow the wheels to spin. Wheel bearings are either a tapered rolling bearing design or a ball bearing design. Ball bearing designs are either press-in or bolt-in. Let's take a look at each bearing design in more detail.

We highly recommend you avoid driving with a worn wheel bearing. Wheel bearings can become so worn that the hub can fall out of the bearing, causing the wheel to detach from the vehicle. This is a serious scenario that you’ll want to avoid at all costs. Additionally, a worn wheel bearing will reduce the vehicle’s handling and braking abilities. If your wheel bearing is only making noise and does not exhibit any wheel play when inspected, you may have some time before you absolutely need to replace the bearing. However, if the wheel has excessive play due to a worn bearing, you’ll want to get it fixed immediately.

These are by far the easiest bearings to work with, as long as you do not live in the rust belt. Issues that arise from bolt-in bearings are bi-metal corrosion and cost. If your vehicle is equipped with an aluminum steering knuckle, expect a fight when removing the steel bearing. This mostly applies to states that suffer from increased levels of vehicle corrosion and rust due to the climate. Since replacement parts come as an assembly, the cost can be higher when compared to a press-in or tapered roller bearing. Vehicles such as the Jeep Wrangler will use these bearings on the front axle and vehicles such as the Toyota RAV4 will use these in the rear.

Oil and lubricant analysis is one of the most efficient methods of non-destructive testing, since a machine working life depends on the lubricant condition. Lubricant analysis should be performed during equipment installation, startup, operation, maintenance and repair. Contamination (soot, fuel, water, mechanical particles), degradation and wear of a machine components change oil and lubricant properties which results in

VLSAT is ergonomically designed for the most rugged environments. This product others an absolutely innovative, step-by-step, responsive interface with 3D-animations and wide touch screen which simplifies the alignment process and reduces the time it takes to complete each alignment.

If the wheel bearing is worn, you will feel a popping as you move the wheel. Additional methods for inspecting wheel bearings include using chassis ears, a stethoscope, and a dial indicator (to measure the exact amount of wear).

The measured values are automatically recorded during shaft rotation. With hundreds of points registered, you can start measuring at any shaft position. The measurement !uality is controlled by a certi/ed processing algorithm based on …helley– AI, which provides the greatest possible repeatability of measurements.

A brand-new step by step, intuitive interface with 3D animation simplifies the operator's work and reduces time spent on alignment. A unique memory management system allows you to save progress at any stage of the process and resume whenever you want

The unbeatable functionality and the undeniable performance capabilities of VLSAT systems allow you to complete precise alignments for your rotating assets every time.

Keep the alignment precise under any circumstances. The averaging filter reduced the influence of external visual challenges such as lighting, steam, and other visually impairing variables while taking measurements.

Adjust machine feet beforehand for better results. Soft foot check option is designed specically for this job. The program analyzes the position of machine feet, indicates if any of them need adjustment, and saves all values for the further work.

Ball bearing wheel bearings are cheaper to manufacture and maintain than their tapered bearing counterparts. Press-in bearings require the use of a hydraulic press to safely remove and replace them. On most vehicles, such as a Honda Civic or Toyota Camry, specifically for front wheel bearing replacements, the steering knuckle will need to be removed. Removing the knuckle will require wheel alignment afterward. Due to the need for a hydraulic press, the need for wheel alignment, and the depth of the repair, most people opt to let the pros handle it. There are options such as removing the steering knuckle at home and taking the assembly into a shop and having them press the old bearing out and the new bearing in. When it comes to press-in bearings, a replacement wheel hub will be the most expensive part. Aftermarket parts such as NAPA offer full assemblies for replacement. This may be the better option, depending on how rusty or worn your vehicle is.

Tapered roller bearings are serviceable, which means they can be removed, cleaned, and repacked with grease to prolong their life. Aside from lasting longer, serviceable bearings are cheaper to replace. However, over a lifetime of service, it may add up to maintenance services/costs. Unfortunately, the majority of vehicle manufacturers do not offer serviceable bearings anymore. Years ago, the Ford F-150 and Toyota Land Cruiser used this style of bearing. The biggest drawback of tapered roller bearings is improper maintenance. Overloaded or improperly pre-loaded bearings wear prematurely. Improper grease packing is another issue when it comes to maintenance.

How much is it to fix or replace a wheel bearing? That depends on the make/model of your car as well as the type of bearing. RepairPal estimates a wheel bearing replacement will cost you between $300 and $400. This estimate can be accurate for most vehicles. However, if we look at the pricing for the popular Toyota Tacoma, the price jumps as high as $740. Using a whole knuckle assembly from NAPA or other parts suppliers will cost between $250 and $500, plus labor. Like most repairs, if you do them yourself, you can save some money. However, when it comes to serviceable bearings and press-in bearings, we recommend you let the pros handle the repair, especially if you live in the rust belt.

If you notice growling or clunking noises, vibrations, abnormal tire wear, or excessive steering wheel play, your car may have one or more worn wheel bearings. Wheel bearings are what make our wheels go round, literally. Despite their simple design and purpose, wheel bearing replacements can be costly. The type of wheel bearing used is entirely dependent on the manufacturer, and you may pay more for a repair on a luxury vehicle. When it comes to replacing bearings, you can do this repair yourself on certain vehicles, while for others, you may need to recruit the help of the pros. In this article, we are going to cover what a wheel bearing is, how it works, the different design types, symptoms of a worn wheel bearing, how to check your car for a worn bearing, and how much it costs to replace a wheel bearing.
