SKF's hub bearing unit provides precision handling and braking

SKF says its X-Tracker hub bearing unit provides precision handling and braking characteristics, ultimately delivering improved handling and comfort.

A unique double row angular contact ball bearing arrangement (with the outboard row at a higher diameter and containing more balls than the inner row) increases the bearing’s capacity while improving hub stiffness by 50% over a traditional tapered bearing unit.

SKF will display the X-Tracker hub bearing unit and other products at the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) Nov. 3-5 at the Sands Expo in Las Vegas, Nev.

SKF is a global supplier of bearings, seals, mechatronics, lubrication systems, and services which include technical support, maintenance and reliability services, engineering consulting and training.For more information, visit www.skf.com.
