SKF said it has introduced the SKF Splashguard, an advanced protection plug for its line of Scotseal TF hubcaps. The new Splashguard features an exclusion technology with multiple barriers to protect wheel end components from outside contamination, according to the company.
Additionally, the SKF Splashguard design includes a hard outer shell that resists power washing and road debris; a pressure-sensitive vent that remains closed unless releasing pressure eliminates entry path for contaminants; and an extended surface for added coverage between the window and plug for better sealing. The Splashguard also features side tabs for easy removal, the company added.
“SKF Splashguard is an excellent complement to SKF’s already successful line of Scotseal TF Hubcaps,” said Doug Fike, heavy-duty product manager, SKF. “Its exclusion technology further contributes to the existing heavy duty durability and dependability of Scotseal TF Hubcaps.”
SKF Splashguards are conveniently packaged in groups of four and sealed in 8.5-in. x 6-in. plastic bags. SKF Splashguards are available in green and black. A point-of-sale countertop display with six 4-packs of green Splashguards and six 4-packs of black Splashguards illustrating the features and benefits is available.
