Commercial Vehicle Wheel End Accessories and Tools

We engineer our commercial vehicle wheel end accessories and tools to help increase the reliability and efficiency of fleet operations.

Accessories

Die-Cast Aluminum Hub Caps

• Durable and cost-effective.
• OEM approved with a precise fit and long, low maintenance service life.
• Oil bath types may include a side fill plug.
• Machine-applied window for a secure seal and easy oil level checks.
• Vented fill plugs maintain low internal pressure caused by normal heat buildup.
• Hubodometer versions available for most applications.

Stamped Steel Hub Caps

• Durable and cost-effective.
• OEM approved with a precise fit and long, low maintenance service life.
• Oil bath and grease types available.
• Powder-coat painted finish (available with duplex nickel-plated and chrome-plated finish).
• Machine-applied window remains clear and shatter proof.
• All units are corrosion-resistant.

P-Axle Hub Caps

• Durable and cost-effective.
• OEM approved with a precise fit and long, low maintenance service life.
• Threaded units available in die-cast aluminum or full plastic (oil bath and grease types), or a hubodometer version.
• Standard or chrome finish, with or without side fill or vented plug.

PSI Hub Caps

• Durable and cost-effective.
• OEM approved with a precise fit and long, low maintenance service life.
• Replacement hub caps for PSI-equipped wheel ends.

Hubodometers

• Helps simplify record keeping, reduce inventory and improve scheduling of regular maintenance and safety checks (follow OEM recommendations for mileage between service intervals).
• Extremely durable: UV protected polycarbonate material is hermetically sealed for a moisture-proof, tamper-proof, air-tight seal and the zinc protected housing is corrosion-resistant.
• Available in miles or kilometers (pre-set units available upon request).
• Available in a full range of ratios that meet the latest tire manufacturer’s specifications.
• Accurately records revolutions in both directions (either side of the vehicle) – even on tough road conditions.
• Individually serial numbered for easy tracking.
• Easy installation – no wiring, power or complicated programming required; mounts with a standard ½”-20 mounting stud.
• Supported by a full line of mounting brackets and hubcaps.
• Operating temperature range: -40° F to 180° F (-40° C to 85° C); Product mass: 1.35 lbs. (600 grams).

Electric Hubodometers

• One model fits any tire application.
• Programmable in miles or kilometers with ability to preset mileage (programming tool and easy-to-follow instructions included).
• Secure lockout feature with ability to permanently disable changes to the unit’s set-up.
• Separate trip and lifetime totals.
• Eliminates expensive calibration machines, readers and complexity.

Analog Hubodometers

• Durable construction: die-cast zinc case, oil impregnated bronze bearings, hardened steel shaft.
• Fully mechanical with Acetal resin gear, pinions and wheel.
• Unique counter balance design eliminates orbiting and provides precision accuracy.
• No calibration, tampering or batteries.

Axilok Unitized Wheel Bearing Nut System

• Reduces installation, maintenance and inventory carrying costs.
• Fast and accurate method of securing and adjusting wheel end components (within the recommended setting range).
• Helps extend seal and bearing life and tire tread.
• Eliminates three-piece adjusting nut systems (jamming style) and two piece systems that require locking keepers.
• Easy installation with a six-point socket and torque wrench.
• Available for trailer, drive and steer axles for standard or “D” flat slotted spindles.

Hot Dots

• Easy visual indicator – changes from white to black when wheel end temperature exceeds 250° F (121° C) – accurate to within +/-1°.
• Simplifies pre-trip wheel end inspection and verification; helps reduce unexpected repairs.
• Strong adhesion even in wet conditions -40° F to 300° F (-40° C to 148° C).

Installation and Adjustment Tools

We also offer a variety of installation and adjustment tools designed to make it easier to accurately install and adjust bearings and seals.
