However, the common wheel bearing units on the market are not perfect, they are often accompanied by short maintenance cycles, low efficiency, maintenance of complex and other common problems, regular maintenance is the routine operation of the truckers.
At present, SKF as the representative of the wheel bearing unit manufacturers actively innovate, committed to developing products that can meet market demand, products with high performance, maintenance-free, low friction, easy to install, integrated for the development trend. The main direction is to improve the service life and reliability of the equipment, reduce maintenance requirements, make it easier to maintain the brake disc, improve fuel efficiency, reduce the impact on the environment, reduce the weight of components, simplify the assembly process.
