In the previous article, we talked about the advantages of hub bearings, today we are more detailed to introduce the type of heavy truck wheel bearings, maintenance, advantages, and application scenarios. How much does wheel bearing replacement cost?
Heavy truck parts bearings are used for heavy trucks (such as trucks, trailers, engineering vehicles, etc.). These wheel bearings need to withstand high loads, high impact and harsh working environments, so there are high requirements for materials, design and manufacturing processes. Therefore, the wheel bearing replacement cost will be relatively high.
1. Type of wheel bearings used by heavy trucks:
Hub bearings: Installed on the wheels of heavy trucks, support the weight of the vehicle and ensure smooth rotation of the wheels.
Drive shaft bearings: Used in electrical systems, transmission systems, transfer power and reduce friction.
Reducer bearing: installed in the reducer to make the vehicle slow down evenly when turning or braking.
Transmission bearings: Used inside the gearbox to support the transmission between the gears and the shaft.
2. Characteristics of heavy truck bearing:
High load capacity: heavy truck bearings not only need to bear the weight of the cargo, but also need to bear the weight of the vehicle and the dynamic load during driving. A truck can weigh up to ten tons. When the truck is heavier, the wheel bearing replacement cost will more.
Wear resistance: Due to the harsh working environment, bearing materials need to have high hardness and wear resistance.
High temperature resistance: For a long time, the wheel will friction high temperature, so the bearing needs to have good heat and thermal conductivity.
Sealing: In order to prevent dust, water and impurities from entering the bearing interior, a three-layer sealing design is usually used.
3. Bearing material:
Steel ball bearing: Commonly used bearing steel including GCr15, SUJ2, etc., with high hardness and wear resistance.
Ceramic ball bearing: Ceramic bearings are often used in electrical systems because of their lightweight, high temperature and corrosion resistance.
4. How to save to wheel bearing replacement cost?
Regular lubrication: Grease should be added regularly to reduce friction and wear.
Check mechanical wear: Regularly check the wear of bearings, timely replacement of damaged bearings, to avoid damage to the spindle.
Seal inspection: ensure that the seal of the bearing is intact to prevent pollutants from entering the bearing to overload the operation.
5. Common Problems
Check mechanical wear: Regularly check the wear of bearings, timely replacement of damaged bearings, to avoid damage to the spindle.
Noise: Bearing wear, foreign matter or improper installation may lead to abnormal noise.
Overload: Under long-term high-speed, high-load driving, the service life of the bearing will be greatly shortened.
6. Selection Suggestions:
Depending on vehicle model: Different models of heavy trucks may require different types of bearings. For example, BTH-0087 is a special hub bearing for Sinotruck HOWO T7,T5G,T7H models. If you want know howo T7 heavy truck wheel bearing replacement cost, we will quotation the best price for BTH-0087 hub bearing.
Consider the working environment: Vehicles that often work in harsh environments should choose higher grades of bearings, such as P4,P5 grades, although the price is high, but avoid the cost of long-term maintenance.
Brand and quality: Select well-known brand bearings to ensure quality and reliability. For examples, DAOQI PARTS will provide with 2 -3 years quality warranty.
Heavy truck bearing is an important part of heavy trucks, and its performance and reliability directly affect the safety and service life of vehicles. Therefore, it is essential to choose the right bearings and perform regular maintenance.
