  • SKF Brute Force Medium Duty Rear Wheel Hub
    The first and only integrated wheel end hub assembly for medium-duty trucks



    ...

  • Get back on the road in record time Servicing a medium-duty rear wheel hub can be complicated and time-consuming. Before repairs even begin, technicians need to order several different components. Once the truck is on the lift, the actual installation can take up to 2.5 hours. But with the new SKF Brute Force medium duty rear wheel hub, technicians can finish the job in as little as 45 minutes. Along with simplifying repairs and getting trucks back to work faster, our SKF Brute Force medium duty rear wheel hub features a robust hub design with an integrated seal that helps extend service life and keeps the vehicle on the road and out of the shop. 
  • Aftermarket Truck Matched Unit (TMU)
    SKF Truck Matched Units (TMU) for trucks and trailers...

  • The Aftermarket Truck Matched Units (TMU) are a further development of the standard TMU, but the basic principle is identical. They feature two conventional taper roller bearings, which are connected to each other via an extended inner ring and a clamping ring.
    The special thing about this system is that the unit is supplied pre-greased and ready to be pressed in, including seals. Thanks to the special installation sleeve, the outer ring with inner ring, rolling bearing and seal can be pressed into the hub in a single work step. The two bearing components are then connected to each other inside via a clamping ring in the same way as in the standard TMU.

    Resulting advantages:

    • Pre-greased unit
    • Integrated seals
    • Much easier installation (fewer work steps)

    The installation sleeve ensures very good centring during the  pressing-in process and thus reduces errors such as skew insertion of the outer rings.
