Complete Tractor bearing set for 3 axle tractor with standard adjustable bearings.
(not for Conmet preset style)
WHAT MAKES THEM BETTER?
Our prescription for exceptional bearings, whether they be steel, ceramic, needle or tapers starts with our version of "smooth and slippery", which is the combination of surfaces that are then coated with MicroBlue® - the coating that changes the way lubricants work.
In nearly ten years in this business, we've never been told of any bearing (that's been taken care of) ever wearing out. Or failing for that matter. The reason for this is simple - bearing parts don't touch (you have to touch to wear, right?). Superfinishing simply turns a rock into a skipping stone, and MicroBlue vastly improves the efficiency of all lubricants. The result is simply the finest, coolest running and most efficient bearings ever made. Period.
Truck division update from Craig LeClaire
Our new world of trucking is now about three months old. And in that time there's been no shortage of entertainment or new projects. I must admit, it's been a lot of fun. The best part of it all is that everyone that's using our bearings have all seen some impressive gains and all agree that the smoothness of the truck is worth the price of admission alone.
I now have lost track of how many drivers have given us updates (7 days a week), and all still report 4/10th's mpg improvement, no exceptions. Heavy loads, light loads, it doesn't seem to matter. Honestly, the number doesn't surprise us, but the consistency does. We've always known that as loads and RPM's increase, the better MicroBlue works, so with the help from our friends at Oak Ridge National Labs (we supply their bearings), we managed to find out why.
The majority of friction and heat in drivetrain comes from the force needed to push the oil out of the way in bearings and between the gear teeth. As the load force increases, the amount of this resistance goes way up. The answer lies in the fact that MicroBlue® changes the way lubricants work, by reducing the surface tension (improving the wetting properties) of the oil. Think of it as something that reduces the thickness of the oil. The thinner it is, the less force needed to get it out of the way. So if you're Allen Smith, and you see 4/10th's pulling light and 4/10th's pulling heavy, the bearings are literally working better. Sort of a built-in equalizer, imagine that. We're still trying to figure why Dan thinks the faster he runs his Freightliner, the better the mileage. Not so sure about that one!
As I listen and learn more about the many mechanical challenges you constantly endure, the one that stands out the most is the endless discussions about oil usage. And frankly, I'm stunned at what is considered "normal". Normal in the tractor engines we do is next to none. But then again, leak-down and measurable blow-by are not part of our world either. As crazy as this all seems, there are some very sound reasons why we've been able to get a handle on this and the problem and solution is remarkably simple. More on this later.
I want to thank all the "early adopters" that have joined our community, and I'm glad all have been more than satisfied. Stay tuned, because there's more to come. A lot more.
