SKF announced this week that it now provides the industry’s only all-in-one rebuild kit for PreSet hub assemblies. Each SKF rebuild kit contains everything needed for servicing PreSet hub assemblies, including two specific and tightly toleranced half stand tapered bearing sets, an SKF Scotseal PlusXL wheel seal, an SKF TF Hubcap (when applicable) and a precision machined PreSet bearing spacer.
“For the past several years, SKF has worked closely with ConMet to provide the highest quality and reliability for OEM hub assemblies,” said Mike McGrath, president of SKF VSM North America. “Now through the SKF rebuild kit for PreSet, SKF and ConMet together bring these same products to the aftermarket. The SKF rebuild kit for PreSet provides a cost effective solution to service PreSet hub assemblies, ultimately reducing fleet downtime by minimizing maintenance and repair costs.”
ConMet introduced the PreSet hub assembly in 1995. In 2002, the SKF Scotseal PlusXL became the OE standard in the PreSet hub assemblies. Beginning in 2007, ConMet approved SKF specially-toleranced tapered bearing sets for installation in its PreSet wheel end product line.
“SKF’s Scotseal PlusXL has played a significant role in the success of the PreSet Hub Assembly,” said Larry Sanford, director of business development for ConMet. “Today, ConMet is elevating its relationship with SKF on both an OE and aftermarket level. The SKF rebuild kit for our PreSet hub offers a simplified, reliable, cost effective solution for servicing PreSet wheel ends when required.”
By installing the SKF rebuild kit for PreSet, the hub assembly components receive an extended three year warranty from SKF, the company said. For more information,
