Pre-assembled, pre-greased and pre-positioned, it is the ideal problem-solver for independent garage workshops who work on Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCVs).<\/p>\n
The FAG SmartSET reduces repair related downtime to a minimum, making assembling and greasing unnecessary.<\/p>\n
It is estimated that garages can save up to two hours per axle with every FAG SmartSET repair compared with conventional tapered roller bearings.<\/p>\n
Pre-positioned rolling elements and the unique sliding fit of the FAG SmartSET make wheel bearing repairs a true \u2018one man job\u2019 with the reduced assembly time increasing revenue.<\/p>\n
This not only removes the chance of fitting failures, but it also increases the service life of the bearings and reduces wear related repairs.<\/p>\n
FAG SmartSET is so practical it can be used on most brands \u2013 for all commercial vehicle and trailer axle types \u2013 with oil or grease lubrication. Delivered as a ready-to-install kit, it features inboard and outboard bearing units.<\/p>\n
And each SmartSET includes special fitting tools, making the need to purchase additional special tools unnecessary.<\/p>\n
Malcolm Short, Technical Services Manager for Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket in the UK, said: \u201cThe new FAG SmartSET is the perfect wheel bearing repair solution for all technicians who work on HCVs that enter their independent garage workshops.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe FAG SmartSET bearing unit is pre-assembled at the factory, simplifying installation and the pre-greased bearings guarantee the correct specification and amount of grease is used.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe rolling elements are pre-positioned by a support ring, which eliminates additional wheel rotation when adjusting the bearing, and the FAG SmartSET also features a sliding fit, which
\nprevents the hub from tilting during assembly.<\/p>\n
\u201cInstallation errors, such as using the wrong specification (or amount) of grease, are eliminated with the FAG SmartSET.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition, the FAG SmartSet features:
\na dust cover which eliminates grease contamination by preventing dirt ingress
\nDurotect\u00ae B coating protects against corrosion as well as preventing slip damage and the formation of micro cracks
\nand a supplied fitting tool which makes installation both simple and safe.<\/p>\n
The FAG SmartSET has been developed exclusively for the aftermarket to meet the needs of the modern workshop with the service lifetime being double that of a conventional tapered roller bearing.<\/p>\n
Schaeffler says using a SmartSET will save one wheel bearing repair during a truck\u2019s service life, and reduces the time needed for each subsequent repair, making it great news for distributors, garages and fleet operators alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
