Spotlight on ... EUROPART Premium Parts Axle, Brake & Chassis

The basis for safety and efficiency

 

In the truck industry, the axle, brakes and chassis are essential for safety and comfort. The wheel hub is one of the components that is often underestimated in practice - at least as long as everything runs smoothly. It is part of a finely tuned system - between axle, brake, wheel and sensors. ABS signals, braking behavior, tire wear: all of this depends directly on this one component.

The perfect interplay of material quality, manufacturing tolerances and thermal behavior is crucial. This is because the wheel hub works permanently under high loads, absorbs braking torques, transmits lateral forces and ensures smooth running - even under changing loads.

Our product star for your workshop:

Wheel hub

Our new wheel hub with high-quality tapered roller bearings in OEM quality, manufactured in accordance with IATF 16949, can be found in our EWOS online store.

Wheel hub order no. 1281 200 009

All highlights at a glance:

What makes a good wheel hub!

  • Long-lasting corrosion protection thanks to modern coating processes: Only special coatings ensure a long service life without impairing the sealing surfaces. The protection must not be too brittle or too soft.
  • High-quality tapered roller bearings in OEM quality: The tolerances must match the bearings exactly. If they are too loose, they will "work themselves in". If they are too tight, they will overheat. Both lead to premature failure - usually with consequential damage
  • Low noise development and maximum fitting accuracy thanks to perfect axial and radial run-out ensure a high level of driver comfort: minimal deviations in the hundredths range are enough to cause vibrations. If you cut corners here, you will pay for it later with complaints and downtimes.
  • Controlled heat dissipation: With modern brake systems, the temperature at the wheel hub can rise to over 200 ยฐC. A high-quality hub dissipates the temperatures in acontrolled manner. A high-quality hub dissipates the temperatures in a controlled manner without distorting or damaging the bearing.
  • Production in accordance with IATF 16949

 

A practical tip:

 

When installing the wheel hub, it is worth pausing briefly to carefully check the bearing surfaces, seals and ABS rings - for cleanliness, fit and damage. After all, even the best wheel hub can only perform to its full potential if everything is fitted cleanly, accurately and without tension.

 

Our approach: no compromises when it comes to safety-relevant components. That's why we only install OE-quality wheel bearings from well-known manufacturers whose products have proven themselves in daily use - even under high loads and extreme conditions.
