A large plant in the food processing and packaging industry was experiencing frequent bearing failures on two of the printing presses in its milk carton packaging line. The NTN solution lasted for two months – quadrupling uptime. The reduction in maintenance and bearing acquisition cost that resulted from the longer life led to $31,114 of annual cost savings for the customer.

Operating efficiencies in your shop can mean the difference between generating a profit and breaking even, so efficient installation of wheel hub assemblies should be a priority. You can increase efficiency using some straightforward techniques that are applicable to all shops.

Proper wheel hub installation reduces vehicle maintenance costs and extends the useful life of wheel hub assemblies and their related parts. Whether it’s preventing comeback wheel bearing replacements or abnormal wear on tires, proper installation can save your customers money.

What is the most complex wheel bearing hub unit on the roads today? You might think it would be a supercar or electric vehicle. But, it is on the Ford F-150 equipped with 4WD. In 2004, Ford introduced the Integrated Wheel End (IWE) that could disconnect the hub from the axle. This function adds several new components not found on the typical hub unit.

A major supplier of produce was experiencing catastrophic bearing failures every four months. The bearing failures forced shutdowns that resulted in $90,000 in lost production each year. Read our case study to see how NTN’s Sentinel Series increased uptime resulting in over $133,000 in yearly savings.
